The case against Joe Biden for president is about to get stronger. This afternoon New York magazine’s The Cut published an account by Lucy Flores, a 2014 Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor of Nevada, of Joe Biden’s “awkward” and unwanted kiss on the head just before she spoke at a political rally.
This is about as surprising as the sun coming up in the East tomorrow morning — Biden’s been creeping out women for years with these antics. If Al Franken had to go for playing grab-ass with eight women (that we know of), Biden has plenty to worry about, and more tales of it are bound to come out now that he’s about to get back in the arena.
“He leaned further in and inhaled my hair. I was mortified. I thought to myself, ‘I didn’t wash my hair today and the vice-president of the United States is smelling it. And also, what in the actual fuck?’”
Truth be told, there’s one thing in Flores’ account that is a lot stranger than Biden’s standard operating procedure around women. “My staff was running around town to purchase ferns because according to Biden’s team no other vegetation was acceptable for the stage.” Now that’s fucking weird.
