Wow... I'm waiting for the tone deafness of the left to settle in.
While certainly we can accept that there is a difference between an accusation and proof, his comment is that there was not one single whisper of a scandal.
Vail Kohnert-Yount
In 2013, she was a White House intern....... Biden introduced himself and shook her hand. “He then put his hand on the back of my head and pressed his forehead to my forehead while he talked to me,” she told the Washington Post in an article published early Thursday. “I was so shocked that it was hard to focus on what he was saying. I remember he told me I was a ‘pretty girl.’ ”
Ally Coll
Coll said she had been a Democratic staffer in 2008 when she was introduced to Biden at a reception. She told the Post that Biden complimented her smile and held her shoulders “for a beat too long.”
She said she felt uncomfortable at the time but ignored it because of her excitement over meeting him. She told the Post she now thinks his behavior was inappropriate in a professional setting:
“There’s been a lack of understanding about the way that power can turn something that might seem innocuous into something that can make somebody feel uncomfortable.”
D.J. Hill
In the same article, the Times interviewed a writer who met Biden at a 2012 fundraising event in Minneapolis. She told the Times that Biden had placed his hand on her shoulder before dropping it down to her back, making her “very uncomfortable.”
Caitlyn Caruso
The next day, Caruso, a sexual assault survivor who met Biden three years ago when she was a 19-year-old college student at an event related to sexual assault at the University of Nevada–Las Vegas, told the New York Times about her experience with Biden. She said Biden “rested his hand on her thigh—even as she squirmed in her seat to show her discomfort—and hugged her ‘just a little bit too long,’ ” according to the Times.
Amy Lappos
In an interview with the Hartford Courant on Monday, a former congressional aide to Rep. Jim Himes said she had been a volunteer at a 2009 fundraiser when Biden approached her.
“He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth.”
Lappos told the Courant she felt Biden had crossed “a line of respect” in a sexist way. She told the New York Times she spoke out because she was
disappointed in the public reaction to Flores’ allegations. “Uninvited affection is not okay,” she said. “Objectifying women is not okay.”
Lucy Flores
In an essay for the Cut, Flores wrote that when she was running as the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor of Nevada, Biden came up to her and placed his hands on her shoulders just before she went onstage to talk at a campaign event.
“I felt him get closer to me from behind,” she wrote. “He leaned further in and inhaled my hair. I was mortified. … He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head. My brain couldn’t process what was happening. I was embarrassed. I was shocked. I was confused.”
Note that all of these people are from the left. These are not 'plants' from the right
His tone-deafness with women and the left is ridiculous... especially in that he could have made his same point without dismissing his own failures.
