Female Lt. Gov. Nominee: Joe Biden ‘Made Me Feel Uneasy, Gross, And Confused'

This has been a running gag on the right for a long time. Even CNN has reported on Joe Biden’s penchant for awkward hugs but today may be the first time a Democratic woman has specifically called out Biden for his handsy behavior in a way that treats it as a #MeToo problem, not an amusing quirk. Today the Cut published a piece by Lucy Flores who, in 2014, was a nominee for Lt. Gov. of Nevada. When she first learned that Biden would be willing to come to the state and stump for her campaign, she was thrilled. But that changed after an awkward moment waiting to go on stage:
Just before the speeches, we were ushered to the side of the stage where we were lined up by order of introduction. As I was taking deep breaths and preparing myself to make my case to the crowd, I felt two hands on my shoulders. I froze. Why is the vice-president of the United States touching me?
I felt him get closer to me from behind. He leaned further in and inhaled my hair. I was mortified. I thought to myself, I didnt wash my hair today and the vice-president of the United States is smelling it. And also, what in the actual fuck? Why is the vice-president of the United States smelling my hair? He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head. My brain couldnt process what was happening. I was embarrassed. I was shocked. I was confused. There is a Spanish saying, tragame tierra, it means, earth, swallow me whole. I couldnt move and I couldnt say anything. I wanted nothing more than to get Biden away from me. My name was called and I was never happier to get on stage in front of an audience….
He was there to promote me as the right person for the lieutenant governor job. Instead, he made me feel uneasy, gross, and confused. The vice-president of the United States of America had just touched me in an intimate way reserved for close friends, family, or romantic partners and I felt powerless to do anything about it.
Flores adds that if this had happened in a traditional office setting, she would have gone to HR and filed a complaint. But what do you do when there’s no HR department and the person who grabbed you is the Vice President of the United States? She considered when or if was the right to say anything at all and for a long time she said nothing. Meanwhile, there were other incidents that made the news. That image above is Defense Secretary Ash Carter’s wife Stephanie getting manhandled back in 2015.
Remember this? This would have been before the incident described by Flores but it’s the same move. In this case, it’s not clear the female biker minded but look at the faces of the other two guys.
Flores decided that with Biden’s pending run for office, now was the time to come forward. She says Biden didn’t break any laws in their encounter but she feels that his behavior is predicated on the imbalance of power that is so often involved in incidents of sexual harassment. Again, this behavior is far from a secret. It has happened so many times that almost every news outlet has covered it at some point and there are dozens of “Creepy Joe Biden” supercuts on YouTube. What’s different now is that Flores is asking the left to take this behavior seriously as something that is potentially disqualifying for office. We’ll see how seriously the party decided to take this. My guess: It will depend on how Biden is doing in the polls.

Every Dem has skeletons in their closet....they are only revealed when you need to eliminate them in a primary.

I recall that photo vividly. One look at her face, anyone could see that she was mortified. Joe is lacking the insight to stop himself from doing this again and again to other people. If he dares try that game with Stacey Abrams, she’s likely to give him a raised elbow right in the chops.
She doesn’t seem the demure, Shrinking Violet type.
This shows how desperate the Dems are to even be considering Joe, with all of his worrisome baggage.
Bring it on, Dems. My popcorn is ready.

And so ends Slow Joe’s presidential aspirations.

If she had been reading Free Republic she would have already known the truth about that perv and would have stayed far away from him.
The MSM thought it was more important to protect Biden that to protect women from his harassment.

He has the same effect on me, and I never even met the guy.
To: VanDeKoik
That’s what I say too. Biden has too much baggage. He would be good as Secretary of State or COS. He has too much baggage.

Wow, that is perfect. I don't think Uncle Joe will be in the race at the finish line.
Even apart from the creep factor, Biden just not intersectional enough for today's leftist democrat system: white, cis-male, straight, old, rich? The dems will insist on someone so historically diverse that he/she/it will be exempt from all criticism, past, present, and future.

The only way I would vote for them is if they ran a really cute furry mammal, but even then only if they said they were for capitalism.

There’s nothing explicitly nefarious about Old Slow Joe the Pedo.
He’s been a dumb ass all his life. A legend in his own mind. Thank you, prefusely, Delaware.
Ignore anything about this creep. He’s already done. Obama was told to picked him cuz he’s an idiot.

The version of the article I posted was not the same as this. I posted the original article written by the actual victim. With the original title and From the original source.
Secondly it is obvious from the closeness of the posting of the two articles that this article had not yet been posted as I was composing to post.
I would not have been offended by your pulling my article except by the insulting and snarky comment left by whoever pulled the article that says:
“Search still works”.
Fine. Let everyone else post everything then. Why should I take the time.

He makes me feel uneasy and gross too but I’m not the least bit confused about this C sucker.
