Former Vice President Joe Biden is currently facing allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior. The allegations also come as Biden considers entering into the 2020 presidential election.
Everything You Need to Know about the Allegations against Biden
Former state official Lucy Flores alleges that Biden behaved improperly with her in 2014; Flores cites hair smelling and unwanted kisses as the behaviors which bothered her. She published her claims in a piece for The Cut.
An excerpt from her account reads as follows:
“I felt him get closer to me from behind. He leaned further in and inhaled my hair. I was mortified. I thought to myself, ‘I didn’t wash my hair today and the vice-president of the United States is smelling it. And also, what in the actual f*ck? Why is the vice-president of the United States smelling my hair?’ He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head.”
On Sunday, Flores furthermore stated that Biden needs to admit the errors of his alleged conduct.
Lucy Flores: “Part of the reason why I decided to finally say something is because those behaviors were not being taken very seriously. … I just can’t imagine that there was never a situation where someone said to him, ‘Mr. Vice President, you probably should stop doing that’” pic.twitter.com/6Vt5m5DHrE
