        “I shake hands, I hug people, I grab men and women by the shoulders and say, ‘You can do this.’ Whether they are women, men, young, old, it’s the way I’ve always been. It’s the way I show I care about them, that I listen,” 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. I get it. I hear what they’re saying, I understand it. And I’ll be much more mindful. That’s my responsibility and I’ll meet it.”

        💯 it’s been the line since the primary

      And all the other pieces of shit who have enough institutional power to pull strings behind the curtains.

    Goddamn I hate creepy old men. I remember that video and I always thought he was getting way too handsy with that girl, but I honestly hadn't considered that he might have pinched her. Her pulling away actually makes more sense now.

    I honestly don't know words bad enough to call that disgusting piece of trash. But they say actions speak louder than words :amerikkka:

      How will he wiggle his way out?

      He won't. This won't be on major news networks. This won't be talked about by anyone not on Twitter. Biden won't have to say a goddamn word about it.

      And even if he did, Dems would still say he's not as bad as Trump because Trump groped more women and you're a Russian agent if you criticize Biden for this.

      Don't we love team politics, folks? Biden has to literally do nothing to wiggle his way out of this.

    Not sure that this dude clearly pressuring this woman (girl?) into something is a good look, either, though.

      Not only pressuring her, but forcing her hand by sharing these screenshots. Kind of a dick move. She clearly doesn't want to be tarred like Tara Reade was, and fair enough. Not like Biden will face any real consequences, so just throwing her to the wolves to maybe get Biden a bad news cycle.

    There doesn’t appear to be any evidence of this tiktok account. No backups or reposts or anything of the original video either. I think these screenshots may be well-done fakes by some right-wing outlet.
