Biden accused the president of "separating people to aggrandize his own power."
"I think what you don't realize is how many people approach Joe,” she said. "Men and women, looking for comfort or empathy. But going forward, I think he's gonna have to judge, be a better judge, of when people approach him, how he's going to react. That he maybe shouldn't approach them."
She also acknowledged that there had been situations where a man imposed on her personal space and made her feel uncomfortable, adding that at least one incident had been notable enough to come home and tell her husband about it. "I just sort of stepped aside. I didn't address it. I, like you said, I mean, things have changed. There was a time when women were afraid to speak out," Jill Biden said of how she addressed it. "I can remember specifically — it was in a job interview and so that’s where we’ve moved from, that now if that same thing happened today, I'd turn around and say, 'What do you think you're doin'?' So I think it's — it's totally different.
