I remember Joe Biden being accused of rape and the woman who did it basically being hushed down. I haven’t seen a single person mention it (recently). Given his age, status, and political beliefs, it seems pretty much guaranteed to be at least somewhat true. How did I forget about this?
everybody capable of using the Internet saw that clip of Biden repeatedly and upsettingly touching that poor young woman’s face even as she turned away and pulled back, only for him to keep doing it. he is so obviously one of those paycho guys that thinks it’s his God given right to touch whatever young woman he wants. before #MeToo it was excused as the behavior of a man from an earlier, more affectionate friendly grandpa time.
while #MeToo was popping off, that shit would have fallen flat. by then, he had repeatedly shown himself as an aggressive asshole when caught out by young progressives during the primary. the whole “why why why why why” and “dog faced pony” shit. the guy is an obvious solid gold prick with a fake smile. 100% chance he’s done what he’s accused of and probably worse.
then he was accused. the circling of the wagons around him and vicious attacking of the victim by libs obliterated #MeToo
