'You can hug and kiss me anytime, Joe,' a woman shouted to the former vice president. Biden laughed, before making the sign of the cross. 'That's very nice, thank you,' he eventually responded.
The moment happened just miles from where in 2014, Lucy Flores, who was running for Nevada lieutenant governor at the time, introduced Biden at a campaign rally for the Democratic ticket. Before Biden announced his candidacy last month, Flores came forward to describe what she considered inappropriate physical contact as both prepared to take the stage, which left her"embarrassed,""shocked" and"confused.
Biden later released a video acknowledging what he said were changing social norms and promising to be more mindful of how he interacts with voters."There used to be a time when it was acceptable for people to, I don't know, connect with one another with a touch on the arm. But now things have changed, you know?" Jill Biden said."Joe heard what she said. I thought it was very courageous that she came out, spoke out, and like I said before, that has happened to me.
At the campaign event Tuesday, another person shouted out,"Trump is Hitler! Get rid of Hitler! Come on, Joe!" Biden responded,"I'm not gonna stoop down to his level...The president has deliberately attempted to divide this nation, and he's decided to be president for his base. I'll be president for all Americans."
