Lucy Flores on Biden: ‘This Isn’t the First Time and It Wasn’t the Only Incident Where He Was Acting Inappropriately with Women’

‘I think part of the reason I decided to finally say something is because those behaviors were not being taken very seriously’

RUSH EXCERPT:

FLORES: “I certainly think it’s better than his first statement they released on Saturday. I’m glad he’s willing to listen. I’m glad he is clarifying his intentions. Frankly, my point was never about his intentions, and they shouldn’t be about his intentions. It should be about the women on the receiving end of that behavior. This isn’t the first time and it wasn’t the only incident where he was acting inappropriately with women. If he is saying he never believed that was inappropriate, then frankly I think that’s a little bit of a disconnect, and not being aware, a sense of not being aware because there has been documentation both in photos, videos, stories that were written. Now, that being said, I think part of the reason I decided to finally say something is because those behaviors were not being taken very seriously. They were not being considered from the perspective of the woman on the other side of that power dynamic, on the side, on the receiving end. I just can’t imagine that there was never a situation where someone said to him, vice president — Mr. Vice president, you probably should stop doing that. You should probably stop touching women in that way, you should probably keep your hands to yourself.”
