Biden is the only semi moderate candidate the democrats have right now. Let's not be too quick to try to get him disqualified due to scandal. We're deciding the future direction of our country here and I'd hate to see that decided through inconsequential stuff like this.
So what did the rapist in chief Bill Clinton do to the moral standing of the democratic party? Me thinks the democratic party has no moral high ground to stand on.
Joe was in this woman's personal space, standing way too close to her. taking her hand in his several times was also invasive, especially given they were talking about a political issue.
I never had a male boss in all my decades of working take my hand, stand very close, and stare into my eyes while we were discussing a work issue or any issue.
I used to discount joe's touchy feeling thing with women as 'just his way', but no longer. he is a creepy lech.
Yeah, I agree -- compared to Trump, this is truly no big deal. (Although I do think that Biden should realize that different people have different personal boundaries.)
And for the OP to call this behavior "Terrifying". Puh-leeze -- how would s/he describe an attempted rape?!
That is a complete lie. He has been accused. In this day and age of feminism gone wild and #metoo, what celebrity male has not been accused of sexual harassment of some kind? The democrats even used rape allegations to try to block Trump's supreme court nominee. It was a total freak show and circus act, almost as bad the the Russia nonsense the democrats have subjected the American people to on a daily basis for about 3 years now.
Vast majority of public figures have not been accused even once.
Trump has been accused of sexual harassment, abuse and rape over 20 times now.
We even have video and audio of Trump admitting to his creepy sexual behavior..
Before the advent of the meetoo movement, grabbing someone’s hands for a lengthy amount of time (in this incident) makes most people feel uncomfortable. It’s very difficult just to pull away and say something, especially from a well known public figure. If only he held her hands briefly, I wouldn’t think anything about it, but he had a death grip on both of her hands, probably turning them white, Lol
Joe should know this, especially in the world we live today. Maybe he’s at that age where he needs reminders.
Terrifying? No! inappropriate yes.
All she had to do was open her hand and that would have been a sign to the other person to release.
She held the grip through out the conversation. I'm not a Joe fan but this one is non sense.
Joe does need to realize he's dealing with a bunch of me too'ers and not touch, say as little as possible and avoid the situation.
Can you imagine you've just moved to a new neighborhood and a neighbor comes over to meet you for the first time and this is how they behave? Creepy and unacceptable.

I'm like, this is part of our problem: Not recognizing that you need to ask first, or can I shake your hand? Not just grab your hands and hang onto them. That bothers me."
it should bother her, but what she needs to realize is politicians never ask; they tell, they take, they demand. Its all standard operating procedure for them.
Ironically, offended you touched me woman turned out to see if Biden was going to "just grab" someone elses money for her personal cause.
Oh the effrontery!
