Biden: No Man Has a Right to Touch a Woman Who Walks ‘Stark Naked’ to the Capitol (The Washington Free Beacon)

Vice President Joe Biden deployed some colorful imagery at the United State of Women Summit on Tuesday, saying even a woman who walked “stark naked” to the U.S. Capitol had no right to receive unwanted touches from a man.

Biden said the Violence Against Women Act, which he drafted as a U.S. senator, articulated the fundamental right of women to live their lives free of abuse.

“I remember when we did the act, when we were debating it, I said if a woman in this audience got up, stripped down, stark naked, and walked over to the United States Capitol, she has a right to be arrested for indecent exposure, but no man, even in that circumstance, has a right to touch her,” he said. “No man has a right to touch her! Period! Period! Period!
