No, see, it seems she really said that:
Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) made the comments during a private Democratic Caucus meeting Wednesday to discuss sexual harassment issues, according to two Democratic sources in the room.
“I saw a member yesterday with her cleavage so deep it was down to the floor,” Kaptur said, according to the sources present. “And what I’ve seen … it’s really an invitation.” The comments left many others in the room stunned, the sources said.
…
In a statement to POLITICO later Wednesday, Kaptur said she never meant to suggest that women are to blame for harassment they experience.
She didn’t? Could’ve fooled us. And everyone else in the room, apparently:
Two Democratic sources said other members and staffers present in the meeting were so surprised that no one knew what to say. “Nearly everyone in the room’s mouths were wide open aghast,” one of those sources said.

JFC just why. What are you thinking @RepMarcyKaptur

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
There is no excuse for harassment, no "invitation" to harassment. The only person to blame is the harasser. https://t.co/a1JWEWZ3YR
