Joe Biden responds to misconduct allegations, says he'll be 'more mindful about respecting personal space' https://www.foxnews.com/politics/jo...-more-mindful-about-respecting-personal-space Former Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday responded to a series of misconduct allegations leveled against him by promising to “be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future.” Biden acknowledged the allegations in a tweet, saying that he recognizes that “social norms are changing” and he has heard his accusers. “Social norms are changing. I understand that, and I’ve heard what these women are saying," Biden tweeted. "Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. That’s my responsibility and I will meet it." (More at above url)
Would never have happened to poor Joe if he supported things like last minute abortion, taxing unrealized capital gains (saw that hilarity this morning), and communism.
The lefties are trying to cover for Creepy Joe by branding his behavior as something that was once culturally acceptable as a sign of warm-heartedness and he has just not kept up with the times - but we must all remember that he has a heart of gold and is well respected. So let's examine this: One says the creep smelled her hair and then kissed her on the back of the neck. Another says he pulled her forward to rub noses with her. One of the most recent ones says he put his hand on her thigh while talking to her and would not remove it even though she was visibly upset with it. Sorry, but that was creepy shit in earlier days of our culture too. He is just making an argument that the culture let creeps get away with it. A lot of bullshit flying around these days. Thousands of priests, coaches, politicians etc for example accused of underage contacts for example. And when asked if they had sex with a ten year old boy or something, they say "Not that I recall." Fail. Joe Biden- fail. Everybody fail. If you see Joe Biden smelling your wife's hair and kissing the back of her neck while she is cringing, you deal with it forthwith- smack the motherfucker and put him away, and dont let him pull that VP shiite on ya or that the culture has changed. Poke him in a way that teaches him right from wrong. FAIL!
Susan Rice keeping her flag flying to get another shot at being Secretary of State. All the Obama lackeys are circling around Biden to run interference. Pretty disgusting the way that they have all worked out this collective rap that says that all women must be listened to but then go on to say that they know Joe very well and that is something he would never do and even if he did he has been a long time asset to the dem party so get past it already. Yeh they are saying I believe the woman but I know joe would never do that. Take that #metoo types!! That's what you get when one of your own is involved. Kavanaugh would have swinging from a tree out on the national mall by now. So you lose if you are a republican and you lose if you are a victim of a high powered dem abuser. (see Virginia for state examples at the state level). That kind of protection of dem abusers kept Teddy and Bubba out of prison for years.

Can you spell "Lefty Bullshit" boys and girls? Alyssa Milano's 'I believe' Kavanaugh accuser becomes 'we can't assume' Biden guilt Actress Alyssa Milano said Monday that she stands behind former Vice President Joe Biden in response to allegations that he kissed a Nevada politician without her consent in 2014. Milano, 46, is a staunch #MeToo activist who last year attended the Senate hearing on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in support of his accuser Christine Blasey Ford. She said she opposed his nomination because of unsubstantiated accusations that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted Ford in high school. She live-tweeted from inside the proceeding, letting her three million-plus followers know: "I believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford." https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...ccuser-becomes-we-cant-assume-biden-did-wrong
Fox News TUCKER CARLSON'S MONOLOGUE Published April 04, 2019 Last Update 4 hrs ago Tucker Carlson: We are offering an apology - and it has to do with Joe Biden and anti-human hysteria Apologies aren't something you often hear on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" or any other cable news show, but we are offering one, anyway. There is no lawsuit forcing us to do it and no court order making us do it or skittish advertisers. We're sincere with this; we mean it. It has to do with Joe Biden. Biden, as you know, is planning to run for president again. He has been back in the news this week, in all the wrong ways, after a series of women accused him of inappropriate physical contact. Biden's first accuser, Lucy Flores, described what it was like to have the former vice president kiss the top of her head. "I felt him get closer," she said. "He leaned in and he was, like,right behind me on my body, and he leaned down, smells my hair, and then plants this big, long kiss on the top of my head." Another accuser, a woman called Amy Lappos, remembered that Biden once gave her an unwelcome Eskimo kiss. And then on Tuesday, two more women came forward. One of them recounted that Biden had once hugged her "a little too long." Continue Reading Below This is how presidential campaigns die. So, desperate to end the story, Joe Biden released a statement on Wednesday, promising not to touch strangers anymore. "In my career, I've always tried to make a human connection. That is my responsibility, I think," Biden said. "I shake hands, I hug people. I grab men and women by the shoulders and say, 'You can do this.' Now it's about taking selfies together. You know, social norms have begun to change. They have shifted, and the boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset, and I get it. I get it. I hear what they are saying. I understand it. And I will be much more mindful. That is my responsibility. It is my responsibility and I will meet it." "But I always believe, governing -- quite frankly, life for that matter -- is about connecting, about connecting with people," Biden added. "That won't change. But I will be more mindful and respectful of people's personal space, and that is a good thing." There is something sad -- pathetic, really -- about watching a 76-year-old man apologize for not understanding selfie culture. You'd hope that your own golden years would be a little more dignified than that. But Biden is a politician, and he had no choice. They drove him to it -- and so did we. And that is the point of the apology. The last thing this country needs is more aggrieved people who think they have been assaulted because a senior citizen hugged them wrong. And so we apologize for adding to that nonsense and anti-human hysteria. When the story first broke that Biden had been passing out Eskimo kisses and sniffing other people's hair, it was irresistible. You couldn't not laugh at it, and we heartily did. We mocked Joe Biden as a compulsive hugger, a cuddler run amok. It was too amusing. But what we should have said, every bit as loudly -- and what we apologize now for not saying -- is that hugging is not sexual assault. Eskimo kisses are not rape. That used to be obvious. It's not obvious anymore. And so we are sorry for helping to blur the distinction between human affection and coercive immoral behavior. The last thing this country needs is more aggrieved people who think they have been assaulted because a senior citizen hugged them wrong. And so we apologize for adding to that nonsense and anti-human hysteria. None of this, by the way, is in defense of Joe Biden the man or his run for president. We disagree on a lot of things. Just a week ago, we told you about his craven and absurd claim that America should get rid of our English legal tradition. Biden says things like that all the time, and we will keep criticizing him when he does. But hugging people is not a sin. Sorry. It's not, even if many on the left would like to criminalize it. Nancy Pelosi described the lessons she has drawn from watching Joe Biden this way: "I don't think it is disqualifying because I think disqualifying is what your intention is. I do think this is about communication in general. Beyond this. I'm a member of the straight arm club. I mean, I'm a straight armer, and all of this [means] just pretend you have a cold, and I have a cold." Let's pretend we all have colds. That is the world Nancy Pelosi demands we live in. But what kind of society is that? A place where everyone has a cold. It is a sick society. It is a cold and antiseptic place -- a fearful place. A society where censors watch and judge your every action. A place where it is unwise to get too close to other people. In a society like that, exuberance and human warmth are too risky to display in public. It is a joyless PC hell. Nancy Pelosi and so many on the left already live there. You can see it on their faces -- they are miserable and afraid. They insist that we join them. We won't go. A country where you're afraid to touch other people is a country we don't want to live in.
