Jill Biden on Joe’s Touching: ‘Times Have Changed,’ ‘He’s Heard that’ to Back Off

‘— And give people their space and he has now taken responsibility for that’

EXCERPT:

J. BIDEN: "Yeah, he comes from a very affectionate family. They are always touching and -- and I think Joe is — one thing I have admired about Joe is the way he makes connections with people. But recently, I mean, things — times have changed and — and Joe has heard that, you know, to back off and give people their space, and he has now taken responsibility for that. And -- and someone asked me, you know, did this ever happen to you? And I have to say it has happened to me and I — like 20 years ago — and I did not have the courage to speak up then and say, stop that, you’re in — you’re in my space. Now I would have the courage, but 20 years ago I wouldn’t. Times have changed."
