Biden Accuser: Jokes Show He Hasn’t Learned How ‘Unsolicited Touching Made Women Feel’

WFB: Lucy Flores, the first woman to accuse Joe Biden of “unsolicited touching,” criticized the former vice president for making light of the allegations leveled against him by multiple women.

“It’s clear Joe Biden hasn’t reflected at all on how his inappropriate and unsolicited touching made women feel uncomfortable,” Flores toldCNBC on Friday. The remarks came shortly after Biden spoke to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers where he repeatedly joked about being giving “permission to touch” two individuals at the Washington, D.C., event.

“I just want you to know, I had permission to hug Lonnie,” Biden quipped after embracing the union’s president, Lonnie Stephenson, upon being introduced. “I don’t know, man.” Later, after calling a group of children to join him on the stage, Biden put his arm around a young boy and said “by the way, he gave me permission to touch him.”

Flores told CNBC she felt Biden’s attempts to “make light of something as serious as consent degrades the conversation women” are having in the #MeToo era.  read more
