#MeToo Claim Against Joe Biden: He Smelled Me and Kissed My Head
Former Nevada Assemblywoman Lucy Flores, now a Social Justice Activist, revealed that Vice President Joe Biden was “creepy” with her during a campaign event.
“I was taking deep breaths and preparing myself to make my case to the crowd, I felt two hands on my shoulders. I froze. “Why is the vice-president of the United States touching me?” 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.
“I may have been able to give Biden the benefit of the doubt. Had there not been multiple articles written over the years about the exact same thing — calling his creepy behavior an ‘open secret’ — perhaps it would feel less offensive,” she wrote. “And yet despite the steady stream of pictures and the occasional article, Biden retained his title of America’s Favorite Uncle.”
She said in an essay for The Cut that the incident occurred during her campaign for lieutenant governor in Nevada in 2014, when Biden came to the state to help the campaign.
But before the campaign rally, he touched her in a way that she felt was inappropriate:
“I was taking deep breaths and preparing myself to make my case to the crowd, I felt two hands on my shoulders. I froze. “Why is the vice-president of the United States touching me?” 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 fuck? 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. My brain couldn’t process what was happening. I was embarrassed. I was shocked. I was confused. There is a Spanish saying, “tragame tierra,” it means, “earth, swallow me whole.” I couldn’t move and I couldn’t say anything. I wanted nothing more than to get Biden away from me. My name was called and I was never happier to get on stage in front of an audience.”
Flores said that pictures of Biden touching other women inappropriately made it more difficult to keep silent, referring to Biden nuzzling the neck of Secretary of Defense Secretary Ash Carter’s wife, kissing Sen. Chuck Grassley’s wife on the lips, whispering in women’s ears, and snuggling women on the campaign trail.
This was an incredibly difficult thing to do, but something that felt necessary. It took awhile before I found the words and the support that made me feel like this was finally a story I could tell. https://t.co/Sr5Go3xuTe

Alexander: There are innumerable videos online that show Biden touching CHILDREN and whispering into their ears.
In this clip, former Vice President Biden uses a candid moment to fondle the chest area of a little girl -- in front of her entire family. Her visible discomfort is extremely obvious. pic.twitter.com/PXZx68KEGe

If that wasn't disturbing enough, in this clip, Biden not only touches a young woman but smells her hair, kisses her, whispering something into her ear, only to tell her "see you back home, I hope" after visibly creeping out her and who I assume is her mother. pic.twitter.com/WrFLWmAPFJ

As former VP, Biden had a habit of smelling the hair of women and (particularly) little girls. In this clip, he fixes the hair of a little girl, conveniently placing his hands near her chest area. Her and the other young girl beside her clearly seem uncomfortable by it all. pic.twitter.com/fpER7WB604

In this clip, Biden swears-in (R) Senator Jim Risch. During photographs, Biden touches Risch's daughter, specifically asking to take a photo alone with her. You can hear Risch say "Dad's going to stand pretty close." (I wonder why?) Biden even jokes and says, "If I was young..." pic.twitter.com/LLqJ4guU0q

In this clip at another swearing-in ceremony, former VP Biden starts strangely sniffing the hair of a very young girl (he just met) repeatedly, also kissing on her. This man clearly has no boundaries. pic.twitter.com/MxYxEJVDRR

Biden almost always seems to immediately inquire about the age of the girls he meets during these ops. He also has a habit of creepily saying "no serious guys till you're 31." "Serious" guys? The way he handles young girls is discomforting to watch. You can see it on their faces. pic.twitter.com/AH0V41WiQG

In this clip, Biden grabs onto a little girl he just met, continuing to grab her with one hand as he uses his other to shake hands with those he's being introduced to. Very awkward. He then starts stroking her face repeatedly. pic.twitter.com/NhHkuthDb6

A lot of the family members involved in these awkward moments don't know how to respond to Joe Biden preying on their young female relatives. Jeff Sessions, however, knows exactly what to do. Watch as he swats Biden's hand from touching his granddaughter. Wonder why he'd do that? pic.twitter.com/YNw5ZHlXWP

Former VP Joe Biden doesn't just target little girls. Watch as he grabs onto the shoulder's of Ashton Carter's wife, Stephanie, smelling her hair. She's clearly surprised by his awkward behavior. pic.twitter.com/nerOikRQcZ

Why must former Vice President Joe Biden habitually smell the hair of the women, little girls, and babies he meets? pic.twitter.com/U53mdueVFi

No woman is safe from Joe Biden's creepy disposition. Not even Hillary Clinton herself. Watch as he awkwardly embraces her for a particularly long amount of time. She keeps patting his arm as a gesture to let go, but he refuses. pic.twitter.com/u9YQilkON3

The media has even acknowledged that former Vice President Joe Biden clearly has a problem controlling his behavior around women and young girls. pic.twitter.com/kGgZfB9mst

Former VP Joe Biden has a quote he tells practically every girl he met during those taped confirmation hearings."No dating till you're 30."
In this clip, he asks a little girl if she remembers what he told her the last time they interacted together. What do you think he said? pic.twitter.com/tykYacaI85
— Richard Armande Mills (RAM) (@RAMRANTS) November 15, 2017
Think about it."You're turning 11. You're beautiful. Just remember: No dates till you're 30."
Is it a joke? A rule. A requirement. A demand?
Why shouldn't a young women be able to date until she's well-past maturity?
Former VP Biden has said it so much, a montage exists. pic.twitter.com/SdWqn8mSIa

The footage from former Senator Kelly Ayotte's swearing-in was one of the most awkward encounters. I've broken it into 2 parts. In this clip, Ayotte's daughter Billy impatiently enters the staging area ahead of schedule. Former VP Biden notices."Who's that beautiful child?" pic.twitter.com/oGdQyt7s8g

After strangely asking 6 y.o. Billy if she was 17, telling her she can do "whatever she wants," former VP Biden proceeds to have an awkward exchange with Kelly, stroking Billy to the point it almost seems Kelly asks her son about the "cameras" intentionally.You decide. pic.twitter.com/pzA2jN3aM4

One awkward moment after another. The mother's discomfort is clearly noticeable when Biden meets and poses with the children in her family. She strangely asks if picture taking is over early. Biden tells the kids "keep the boys away from their sisters." Sons called "protectors." pic.twitter.com/Esa0SEWyze
— Richard Armande Mills (RAM) (@RAMRANTS) November 15, 2017
In this exchange, Senator Sullivan himself wonders if the picture-taking (& likely Biden being around his kids) is over. During the picture-taking, Biden physical moves Sullivan's daughter towards him, clutching onto her side. She even calls out for her father twice in confusion. pic.twitter.com/9voIJ10mG9

Visibly perturbed family members seem to be a running theme at these Biden led swear-ins. During this one, a family member almost looks as if she's using the prop she's holding to mask Biden's roaming hands, which are on her younger female relative. pic.twitter.com/o2fVhe5hda

During this confirmation swear-in ceremony, the senator involved loudly (and intentionally?) reminds Biden of his position by saying "this is the Vice President of the United States." Hair sniffing and eery whispers by Biden make an comeback in this clip. pic.twitter.com/9RSV1fOGoT

In this clip, Senator Cantwell introduces former VP Biden to her nieces, who all look visibly uncomfortable in his presence. The former Vice President then says "it's ripe" while whisper-speaking with Cantwell's young nieces. What on earth does he mean by that? pic.twitter.com/EGqYx8SG1a

In this clip filmed by a random Sacramento family, former Vice President Joe Biden repeats the "keep the boys away from your sister" line. Then he tells the family a strange story about how his daughter at "about age 12 & a half or 13", "wakes up, there's a snake in the bed."Print
