Joe Biden Didn’t Know Any Better, Which is Exactly the Problem Everyone except Joe Biden knew this was coming. Well before Diamond Joe hinted that he would run for president in 2020, there was already plenty of documented evidence that the former Democratic VP treated events like he was hosting an episode of Family Feud in 1980: rubbing women on their shoulders and whispering to them and smelling their hair and planting surprise kisses on them and doing all kinds of other creepy old man shit. Now two women, former Nevada state assemblywoman Lucy Flores and former congressional aide Amy Lappos, have publicly called Biden out for his behavior. Here was Flores in The Cut on Friday : I felt him get closer to me from behind. He leaned further in and inhaled my hair… He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head. My brain couldn’t process what was happening. I was embarrassed. I was shocked. I was confused. And here was Lappos yesterday, per the Hartford Courant: He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me. These accusations come just a few days after Biden told a crowd at an award ceremony, one which was co-sponsored by It’s On Us, that “I wish I could have done something” about his role in the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings. He expressed this regret even though he was Senate Judiciary Chair for those hearings and could have done a great many things, such as call witnesses to back up Anita Hill’s harassment claims against Thomas. Instead, the process was a shitshow and Thomas got confirmed anyway, after which he spent 27 years (and counting) retrofitting the Constitution to accommodate the needs of corporations, wingnut culture warriors, corrupt politicians, and voter-suppression enthusiasts. Given that Democrats just watched another accused sexual harasser, Brett Kavanaugh, skate to confirmation by loudly expressing his fondness for Duff Beer, you can understand why they’d give Biden shit for getting handsy on camera every seven seconds. Despite benefiting from spending eight years in the shadow of Barack Obama, Joe Biden has an extensive history of pretending he hasn’t done bad things. And that’s what he’s doing this time around, declaring, “In my many years on the campaign trail and in public life, I have offered countless handshakes, hugs, expressions of affection, support and comfort. And not once—never—did I believe I acted inappropriately.” Biden believes his intent clears him, and he’s got support from certain centrist orcs like Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia and, naturally, Dianne Feinstein of California, who seems more intent on criticizing her own party than the one she’s supposed to be legislating against: Biden is “a warm, tactile person. He reaches out and he touches and it’s like this and that. It’s hardly sexy,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), gently touching an aide. “It’s a new thing that people have been affronted by it. Over 25 years I’ve never seen that before.” PC culture run amok, AMIRITE? People just wanna be outraged by everything now, you guys! Feinstein, like Biden, wants to excuse all this as Joe Being Joe, and that this is normal. Not news. He was just being tactile! THAT’S THE FUCKING PROBLEM. Just because you’ve been a handsy prick for years doesn’t mean you’re entitled to be one. Lappos herself agreed that the way in which Biden touched her “wasn’t sexual,” but it still bothered her all the same. Flores said, “my point was never about his intentions.” That Biden may not have had bad intentions when he did a bad thing makes it all the more thoughtless and damnable. Too many guys assume this is normal roguish guy behavior, and that they can "So?” away anyone who tells them otherwise. Or worse, they get defensive, like this is a way of life that needs to be fiercely protected. You couldn’t possibly think I was being a shitbag! Too many guys vastly overestimate their own charms, and Biden is one of them. The #MeToo movement didn’t come into being just to point out aggressively malignant dudes with bad intentions, but to also call out assholes who DON’T think they’re doing anything wrong when they make other people feel uncomfortable, assholes who want you to fall in line with their opinions as to what’s appropriate and what isn’t. Too much bad shit had been too normal for too long, and Joe Biden stands as one of the most high-profile exemplars of the problem. Two other senators, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin and Mazie Hirono if Hawaii, have pointed this out. via GQ http://bit.ly/2WrfIpH April 2, 2019 at 12:41PM DMT.NEWS, @Drew Magary, @dmtbarbershop April 2, 2019 at 03:17PM - DMT NEWS
