We have to thank the Washington Post and the New York Times for the tips on how to describe the former vice president’s touchy-feely tendencies: Joe Biden has an “affectionate, physical style with women” and also a “tactile style of retail politicking.” Thanks also to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who made it clear that Biden’s affectionate, physical style is “hardly sexy.”
He really does nothing more than put an arm around a woman for a photo-op, and then maybe sniff her hair a little bit and go in for a kiss on the back of the neck if she doesn’t clench up with discomfort.
David Sirota is now Bernie Sanders’ speechwriter, and he’d like to emphasize that the Sanders camp has nothing to do with all of these allegations coming forward, even though the first woman was a huge Sanders supporter in 2016. In fact, it makes Sanders’ campaign manager’s blood boil that people suggest there’s anything political going on.
"It is deeply disrespectful and shameful that any time a woman comes forward to tell her story there has to be some kind of intimation or suggestion that that person is doing so out of some political agenda and or that the person may be lying." – @fshakir https://t.co/srwypKzOkm pic.twitter.com/RNtjHrzSJH

Well, the timing is more than coincidental. But still…

Speaking of timing, two more women have come forward and told their Biden stories to the New York Times.
NEWS: Two more women have come forward telling the NYT that Joe Biden touched them in ways that made them uncomfortable. By @SherylNYT & @melbournecoal https://t.co/jlFDSl3dJL

One, Caitlyn Caruso, was 19 at the time. A sexual assault survivor, she says Biden rested his hand on her thigh — even as she squirmed in her seat to show her discomfort — and hugged her for “just a little bit too long" at an event at UNLV.

The other woman, D. J. Hill, met Biden in 2012 at a fund-raiser. She says he put his hand on her shoulder, then started dropping it down her back, which made her “very uncomfortable.” Her husband, seeing the movement, put his hand on Biden’s shoulder and interrupted with a joke.

Bernie is unleashing hell on Biden and sending a message that he can do this all year long. https://t.co/hsu6hGN3B1

It’s not Bernie, OK?
Bernie should give us a hint about how many women he has lined up to come forward https://t.co/gNGVEsHtl9

Maybe one woman is from Bernie and the other from Kamala.
Because Kamala has yet to unload her women on Biden

Doesn't Bernie have his own problems as far as this goes?

He said he’d probably announce in late April, which leaves plenty of time for all of this to get ahead of him.
The simple fact is that Joe Biden, regardless of his intentions, has repeatedly made women uncomfortable with the way he conducts himself. He has acted in ways that ignore boundaries. The half-pology about "not intending" isn't enough. https://t.co/vfhPW30GVY

But @Alyssa_Milano just assured us that all that matters – well, THIS time – is intent.
— Suburban Sheepdog (@RobertKuntz) April 3, 2019
It’s true. Alyssa Milano can vouch for the guy.
She cropped the picture so we wouldn’t see his left hand. pic.twitter.com/sdsVwpoZ7R

As long as he didn’t intend to make her uncomfortable, it doesn’t matter how Milano felt, comfortable or not. At least as far as Biden goes.
Oh look @Alyssa_Milano more women – is it time to #BelieveAllWomen again or are you still standing by your buddy ‘Creepy Joe’ @TheView @CNN @MSNBC https://t.co/rwud5mg3GG
— Sal (@SundevilSal) April 3, 2019
Hey @Alyssa_Milano, did you see this? Hey Alyssa! Hey! Did you see this? This right here? Alyssa did you see this? Did you see this Alyssa? Did you see it? https://t.co/JpzJl05CVT

It’s amazing how many Democrats (and even #NeverTrumpers) are solely focused on getting Donald Trump out of the White House that anything is excusable and these women should just shut up … until a Democrat is elected and #MeToo becomes a real thing again.
