Biden jokes twice about hugs in first appearance since women complained of unwanted touches by stableford
In his first public appearance since facing allegations from seven women who say he touched them in unwelcome ways, former Vice President Joe Biden hugged a union president — and made a joke about it.
"I literally think it is incumbent upon me, I think everybody else, to make sure that if you embrace someone, you touch someone, it is with their consent, regardless of your intentions," he said. “Social norms have begun to change; they’ve shifted, and the boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset — and I get it,” Biden, 76, said. “I get it. I hear what they’re saying. I understand it, and I’ll be much more mindful, that’s my responsibility.
