Got to wonder why the leftists didn't complain like they are now when Obama picked him for VP.

It's the power of the Me Too movement. The movement didn't exist in 2008. And it's still growing strength.

An actual event, along with photos of other creepy looking things, vs someone saying something that didn't actually occur. Hmmm.

Joe is one of those affable, touch-feely guys everyone has run into. They gotta bear hug you or put their hands on your shoulders and they don't seem to recognize the personal space boundary that many of us hold sacred. Sometimes they are creeps and sometimes it's just the way they are and there is nothing more to it.

If anyone else did what he did they would be fired from their jobs. At the sexual harassment training I got at work just touching a woman on the shoulder was considered sexual harassment.

He's actually the uncle that you never invite to Thanksgiving dinner. The Uncle that you never trust alone with your children. The Uncle that loves to have his nieces sit on his lap. Yeah he is that Uncle.

Correct. Smelling the hair? shoulder massages? Hugging from behind? Unsolicited kisses? Yeah he would be toast.

The policies dont say "Unless you are a nice guy. Unless you are a touchy feely guy, unless you feel like you are their grand father." The policies say dont do it.

Didn't Bernie's campaign people get into trouble for some sexual harassment? The #metoo is bringing them all down. Even the Dem women have had some problems with the men in their campaigns acting inappropriately.
