(36,312 posts)" "So I don't know anything about this," Warren said. "But obviously if there's a problem, then Joe Biden needs to answer."
Warren made the comments Friday night to a group of reporters at a campaign event in West Des Moines, Iowa, according to local news reports. The campaign event was her third of the day.
The following day at a campaign event in Iowa, Warren addressed the accusations further.
"I read the op-ed last night," she said. "I believe Lucy Flores and Joe Biden needs to give an answer.""

Its not clear this was even necessary. Other than journalists, it was hard to find anyone who honestly thought Biden is a hugger was news; it surely wasnt new. Even Republicans had come to his rescue. Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), in a reminder of the old Lindsey Graham, remarked, I just want to say Joe Biden is my friend, and I know him very well, and whatever he did it may have been inappropriate but it was not driven by malice or misconduct. Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) also vouched for him, as has Meghan McCain.
Biden conveyed in his message why he touches people to soothe, empathize and encourage. In saying that he would resist the notion that politics has to be antiseptic, he showed that hes in public service not for glory but to help others. In short, he helped voters remember the positive qualities hes well known for, which even political opponents attest to.

(115,745 posts)If voters want the opposite of President Trump, they might not do better than someone who consistently thinks of others, gives of himself and displays empathy and decency. Bidens video might also remind voters that politicians arent always vicious and partisan.
If Biden commands the sort of affection we saw in responses to the well-timed complaints from women, perhaps he really can be the guy to bring the country together and get something done.

(3,212 posts)It reminds me of when I was a teen, getting turned off by the revelations about Clinton's affairs, and my political mentor uncle Nick told me that it made him want to defend Bill even more. He explained Whitewater and how Clinton was really a victim of the Whitewater deal, and that the investigation could only find a consensual sexual affair.
It was all political.
Well, this seems mostly political, especially since Flores put her hands on Biden too and Bill Clinton! There are pics of that.
Oh well.
