Biden Wishes More Republicans Were Like Sexually-Harassing Former Senator

Biden Wishes More Republicans Were Like Sexually-Harassing Former Senator (Washington Free Beacon)

After an impressive trifecta of gaffes in the last week, Vice President Joe Biden remarked Friday that the kind of Republican he misses most is the former Oregon senator who was accused of sexual harassment and disgracefully ousted from the Senate.

“This is not your father’s Republican party,” Biden lamented. Back in the day, he recalled, Republicans worked with Democrats: “It was Republicans that were involved, guys like Mac Mathias and Packwood and so many others.”

Sen. Bob Packwood (R., Ore.) was accused of multiple incidents of sexual harassment, and a 1995 Senate committee found him guilty of a “pattern of abuse of his position of power and authority as a United States senator.” They unanimously recommended he be expelled from the Senate.
