(KLZA)-- Nebraska Gubernatorial candidate Charles W. Herbster issued a statement Thursday afternoon unequivocally denying accusations that he inappropriately groped several women including First District State Senator Julie Slama, calling the claims 100% false.

In the statement Herbster says the “fake-news story” is a ridiculous, unfounded dirty political trick being carried out by Governor Pete Ricketts and Herbster Republican opponent for Governor Jim Pillen.

Herbster went on in the statement to call the “Nebraska Examiner” the news outlet that first reported the allegations “a leftist news site picking up and repeating garbage from Rickets and Pillen.”

Herbster Communications Director Emily Novotny says Herbsters legal team is taking every possible action to defend Herbsters honor and reputation and hold those involved in the smear campaign accountable.

In the release Herbster says Ricketts is very public about his personal Vendetta against him and that Ricketts and his father admitted to funding dark money attack ads against Herbster.
