Biden Accuser Would Still Support Him Over Trump

CBS News reports:

Lucy Flores, the woman who has accused former Vice President Joe Biden of making her uncomfortable by gripping her shoulders and kissing her head several years ago at a political event, says she would still support Biden in a general election match-up against President Trump.

Asked if she would support the former vice president if he wins the Democratic nomination, Flores, a Democrat who served in the Nevada State Assembly and supported Sen. Bernie Sanders for the nomination in 2016, told CBSN anchor Tanya Rivero, “That’s not even a question. Of course I would support Biden.”

But at the same time, Flores personally believes Biden’s actions are disqualifying, coupled with his previous “anti-abortion” stances, she says. Flores endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2016.

The Washington Examiner reports:



A second woman has come forward with a #MeToo allegation against former Vice President Joe Biden, saying he touched her inappropriately at a political fundraiser in 2009.

Amy Lappos, 43, who was a congressional aide to Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., at the time of the alleged incident, told the Washington Examiner that Biden, 76, should not run for president in 2020 and should support a female candidate instead.

She described how he put his hand around her neck and pulled her toward him to rub noses. She said she thought he was going to kiss her on the mouth. “This is the Al Franken thing all over again,” she said.
