Manchin on Biden: ‘I Have Never Seen Joe Biden Intentionally Make Anybody Uncomfortable’

‘I do not believe he would ever do anything that would make someone feel uneasy or uncomfortable’

EXCERPT:

MANCHIN: "Well, first of all, I believe anybody that thinks that their space has been violated, their whole demeanor, they felt uncomfortable, then they must have. I can tell you, I’ve been around Joe Biden for many, many years. I have been in many political events with Joe Biden. I have never seen Joe Biden intentionally make anybody uncomfortable. If anything, he goes out of his way trying to make people comfortable he thinks that might be in a difficult situation, that might have had some concerns, and has a lot on him. I’ve seen that compassion in Joe. Now, what Joe has said and I accept that the same as I hope everybody does, if he’s made anybody uncomfortable, he’s extremely sorry for that. I would hope they would accept that. There’s been no type of charges, except I felt very uncomfortable or uneasy. And I’m concerned and I’m sorry about women and anybody that feels that way. I can tell you that was not Joe Biden’s intent. I do not believe he would ever do anything that would make someone feel uneasy or uncomfortable. So he’s made an apology. I think we should accept that. And by no way should that exclude him or prevent him from making a decision to run for president."
