Joe Biden: Second woman accuses ex-VP of unwanted touching

4 hours ago

A second woman has accused former US Vice-President Joe Biden of inappropriate touching, as the leading Democrat mulls a White House bid.

Amy Lappos said Mr Biden had touched her face with both hands and rubbed noses with her a decade ago.

Ms Lappos, a 43-year-old former aide to a Democratic congressman, said Mr Biden touched her inappropriately at a fundraiser in a private home in Hartford, Connecticut, in 2009.

She told the Hartford Courant the then vice-president entered the kitchen to thank a group of aides, before wrapping both hands around Ms Lappos' face and pulling her in to rub noses with her.

Ms Lappos called on Mr Biden not to run for the White House, saying: "Uninvited affection is not okay. Objectifying women is not okay."

2. Millionth woman accuses Joe Biden ...

... of kinda-sorta thinking about her while ordering an extra-cheese pepperoni pizza at the D.C. restaurant where Hillary and John Podesta were running a child sex-slave operation out of the basement.

These stories are getting beyond Alex Jones territory.

3. More from Lappos..

“If Biden truly supports women and gender equality he would step aside and support one of the many talented and qualified women running,” she added. “The same goes for the other men who have thrown their hat in the ring. Women are 52 percent of the population. We are not a minority, we are the majority. It is time we are represented as such. After 45 male presidents it is time we elect a woman.”

4. I tell you what Ms. Lappos, I have no doubt it was uninvited, and it was offensive to you, but

if Joe Biden runs, it will be up to the voters to determine to determine if "rubbing noses", hugging, etc. disqualifies him

5. Who knew Biden was part Inuit?

When early explorers of the Arctic first witnessed Inuit nose rubbing as a greeting behavior, they dubbed it Eskimo kissing. The Eskimo kiss was used as an intimate greeting by the Inuit who, when they meet outside, often have little except their nose and eyes exposed.

7. Some of the left mentality on this issue....

.... is approaching a near drump-supporter level. Sad!

9. These stories are making Biden get sympathy

and anger for the one candidate who is suspected of being behind at least the first story.

Anger cannot be expressed on DU without violating the board's ethos but I see the anger elsewhere on the internet and it is not pretty.

That the BBC would have more important issues to opine upon.
