Former Vice President Joe Biden has been widely criticized for making inappropriate remarks as well as inappropriately touching females.
In a race for lieutenant governor in Nevada, Democrat Lucy Flores said she froze when she felt two hands on her shoulders from Biden.
“Why is the vice-president of the United States touching me?” Flores wondered.
“Flores recounts her experience with Joe Biden in a first-person essay for New York magazine, describing an incident in 2014 when Biden came up behind her, leaned in, smelled her hair, and kissed the back of her head,” a Vox report added.
“Biden was the second-most powerful man in the country and, arguably, one of the most powerful men in the world,” Flores said.
“He was there to promote me as the right person for the lieutenant governor job. Instead, he made me feel uneasy, gross, and confused.”
Flores isn’t alone. Her experience isn’t unique.
“It is no secret in Washington that Biden has touched numerous women inappropriately in public. It’s just never been treated as a serious issue by the mainstream press,” the report added.
Biden continues along the 2020 presidential campaign trail and, in this latest instance, Biden pretends to whisper into a baby’s ear and then says, “Don’t tell mama what I told you.’
