I was embarrassed. I was shocked. I was confused." "I felt powerless to do anything about it," wrote Flores, who has since co-founded a Latina advocacy group, Luz Collective.Biden is expected to announce in coming weeks whether he will run for president in 2020.

She needs to get over herself😣

If he runs he will win the nomination...that’s what they’re afraid of!

This is one gent accused whom I believe! Joe Biden would not harm a woman knowingly. He’s a loving person and perhaps this was misconstrued. I would like to have this fully and truthfully aired without caveats. Go Joe! ❤️👠

Flores was very honest about her political reasons for excoriating Biden. Demo are very good at shooting themselves in the foot. Are we going to be a purist party or get on with it and defeat Trump in 2020.

I wonder if he recalls all the ones captured on video.

Biden has felt up so many women he can’t recall.

Groper

Trump will get a second term. Dems have nothing to run on.

What Kind of Close Encounter was that?

Kavanaugh as the other person Sounds to me like she was drunk,she had NO WITNESS,NO WAY OF HOW SHE GOT HOME,COULDN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING this is not double standard this is the democrats using him because of the accusations made against Biden

she looked uncomfortable Yes he did and the picture proves it there is not damn double standard it's the democrats who get that Kavanaugh was guilty when he had proof and she couldn't remember anything so I believe him way before her,she may have had something happen ,but used

Shes a Sanders schill!

She is just playing political games

I’m sure he doesn’t recall this moment either. He seems to have some creepy fetish w:hair/heads which I wouldn’t care about except it also involves kids I tried telling ppl long ago I thought there as something not right w/him

Latino victory? No bias but these people are not of the Latin stock and how it became corrupted into Latino and applied for Hispanics only now when Latin, by language, culture, and tribes originated and developed in Italy and its their heritage and legacy for over 2000 yrs

Maybe this will help him

jyester55 This close encounter?

OBAMA-BIDEN NeverForget NeverAGain

Does anyone think she may be lying.? I think we are dividing and teaching and learning nothing. Soon we will not be able to show affection or have physical contact out of joy or help to anyone. If you give cpr to someone you might get accused of keeping your lips there too long

Sssuuurrreeee...

Stop this crap

Hillary has a memory disorder too.

Hide your cats from Joe Biden! 😂

So,...Joe drops out of the presidential race & ahead will forget about this. Just like what happened to Herman Cain. Once he dropped out of the race what did you hear,...NOTHING❗

joe is not a molester of women ,video and documented photos show he likes kids

If this alleged encounter happened in 2014, why did she bring it up after 5 years?

He would have been better off saying he’s sorry he was just being Joe the Politician, handshakes high 5’s and a kiss on the top of the head. Ya ok I guess it was um sort of maybe not possibly right. But 5 yrs ago and not a word. Feels like it didn’t need to be public

Give me a break.

...doesn't remember a Latino woman in Nevada......lol How much kissing and shoulder holding ya doing? Say it ain't so, Joe?

Close Encounters of the Biden Type!!!

He can't remember because he did it all the time.

Nothing but noise.

Why is it that Mr. Touchy Feely Joe Biden has so much difficulty remembering who he touched, where he touched them, or why? Is he suffering memory loss? Medically or conveniently? He’d better not run in 2020. This could get a lot worse real quickly.

No wonder, it took her five years to remember it herself, and MSNBC can’t even remember her name: “a state legislator.” Lol!

Sad to see anyone try and discredit an honorable man like Biden

Biden doesn’t recall being VP either!

The high priests news media. Was out today. Lieing to the AMERICAN slaves. With fake news. You slaves need to bow down to the high priests news media for the Democrats and Republican.

Guilty till proven Innocent ! am I accurate ?

BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. TRUMP STINK ALL OVER THIS..NEW REVELATION. MISS LUCY IS GETTING PAID..WELL!! I WANT A LIE DETECTOR..NOW!!

How many years have these candidates known Joe Biden, to suddenly decide they believe this woman, and he needs to explain. Have they thought he was a man who harassed women and never said anything, or using this as an opportunity to get him out of the running. Shame!

Dems, you're doing it again. Stop eating your own.

Funny...if this was a story about Trump the healine would have assumed his guilt but since it is a Dem it is easily dismissed as 'no recollection'.

Plenty of video out there.

What happened to the complaint yrs ago..IJS..America is lying..A Black candidate probably go to jail for this allegation😎🌍🏆

I suppose you want Biden to remember something so innocuous that it meant nothing Flores did a political hit hoping news station like you CNN and even propaganda Fox would pick up hoping you'd do exactly what you did make something out of nothing idiots

I respect every woman’s right of living in a non harrassment world. But she gave the weakest interview in history

Believe all women right Joe? Oh wait....

Ruh Roh......

That's nothing. I heard in 1978, his wife and mother-in-law cleaned up the dishes after Thanksgiving dinner. Joe was on the couch, farting, and watching football. He must be incarcerated

Wait first it was no recollection and then it’s no inappropriate context. Which one is it Joe? Your story keeps changing.

This is ridiculous! We cannot make a big deal out of everytime a man touches a woman Or vice versa! Get REAL women and decide what’s important! A man walking up behind me and kissing the top of my head is NOT A BIG DEAL! And if it you tell him...right then! Don’t wait years!!!!!!

Nah, it’s just locker room behavior. Right, Trumpsters?

Yeah surveys shows 90% of inmates are innocent when interviewed

Who among us remembers such insignificant, incidental occurrences. Let it die.

Why this person did not came forward earlier... 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄🧐

How the hell could he remember this one woman when he’s been inappropriate with many others. It’s not only women, it’s also young girls he touches, kisses and strokes their hair. If it was my daughter I would cork him. creepyjoe

Did anyone as Senator Gillibrand her thoughts on this?

So metoofar

If that is her she looks pretty happy standing next to Joe.

That's because it didn't happen. Stop spreading this propaganda.

Wish he would kiss the back of my head... geez what the hell is her problem ?

I’m sure the media will ask him about his recollection problems like they hounded Kavanaugh

this is the media's attempt to take down VP Biden because they want Donald Trump for four more years the media is addicted to Donald Trump they know Biden is his biggest threat and how do you get rid of that threat by the way she doesn't look traumatized

She looks happy there.

Way. To. Go. BernieSanders ! You've knocked one out. Who is next on your hit list? I fully expect the Sanders Team to declare that Bernie is more of a female candidate than the female candidates before it's all over.

Bernie supporter.

Probably because it wasn't memorable.

So those times I opened doors for a men means I am forever ineligible to run for public office? No doubt they felt demeaned and disrespected for what I thought was a courtesy. Geez.

It's a pattern with these men of power. They never seem to recall the incident. Perhaps for Biden it's because there are so many he'd have to recall -so, singling one out would be difficult.

This feels strangely like an Al Franken from a Bernie Sanders supporter. If Biden smells my hair or kisses the top of my head and beats Trump, I'll be ok with that.

Wonder how she feels about the sexual harassment allegations against staffers on Bernie’s 2016 Campaign? She lost me at - google creepy uncle joe. I swear I heard that this morning from KellyannePolls. Nice try Lucy!

He's saying, then, that WOC hair, though sniffable, is unmemorable? That's horrible.

There better not be one comment about Joe by the Republicans with 12 accusations against Trump and they don’t give a shit.

Funny how you dip shits protect Democrats but when the same accusations are made towards a conservative, there is no presumption of innocence...they are automatically guilty.

He is disgusting

She does not seem scared or intimidated.

This is a lady were talking about, and not an ET right?

She sounds like a lost little primary school girl !

Oh now the Republicans will get everyone to come out of the closet now because Biden is the front runner for 2020. Get use to it ...next 18 months everyone will throw dirt at each other.

He should like at the compiled footage of all his grossness. It is everywhere

Sickening how liberals will excuse democrat pervs.

No one recalled this until she was told what to say at this time against Biden!

Everyone's a victim these days. If I had $1 for every time I was made to feel uncomfortable in this world.....

These multi year to multi decades complaints that surface only when a political gain is at stake really marginalizes the entire premise of the MeToo movement. It’s become just another liberal scam and the democrat party has become the biggest corrupt scammers we’ve ever seen.

Good thing she doesn't live in France or Italy where they kiss you hello,.

Let Biden stay retired

And why didn’t she step away. He wasn’t her boss.

Recall when a DK female employee once slapped me on the back of the head in london! And told me I could do better...Met her a few years ago in central cph station. Walked right up, and stared She was lucky to be left standing as the train came in. Made my life hell for 1 yr.

With the greatest sense of respect to LucyFlores: Ur a smart woman with a law degree no less. And you come now, after being beat for the lt governor in a landslide loss to mention Biden? I’m sorry. But of all women a scholar, a politician and a lawyer you failed then to say it

Do I trust a Bernie campaign aid or the Obama's? When the Obama's tell me over 8 years of friendship that Joe Biden is a good man. That's all I need to know.

Does LucyFlores recollect this?

I don't like shaking people's hands...LOL

Sure wish you’d all question tweetO’s accusers daily

She's just picky about who's hand touches her. Apparently, she's ok with Bernie's.

Americans knew for long time who is Joe Biden but nobody wanted to talk about that.

What say you about his Ms. Flores?

Joe Biden has been creepy for years, and FakeNews MSLSD was perfectly fine with it as long as 'Bite Me' Biden had a purpose to serve. Now they need Plugs to move on, make room for the new Socialists.

Wow...Look at her...she look offended to me. That smile is a frown turned upside down. Its special effects for the easily manipulated. Roll my eyes. She is hoping to muddy the water. she is adamant that Biden behavior was NOT sexual or violent...so why R U sharing now?

Of course he doesn’t, petty BS! A kiss on top of her head, ,, be a big girl and handle it yourself if you didn’t like it!!

I love when the left devour themselves.

This could get ugly! Trump dare not touch this one.

Just move on, this is ridiculous

Kavanaughearing taught us to believeHER

Does he recollect this?

He smelled her hair. He has a fetish. He needs to acknowledge it and get professional help!

Stop pushing this smear campaign msnbc Where are your standards?

LOL... all the Trumptards in here jumping on Biden when their criminal president admitted on tape to sexually assaulting women.

At his age he could have dementia. Idiot someone in your Party is putting on the breaks to your Future. I would look at your former boss.

I live in the state of NV and hope that i get to vote against this attention seeker!

How convenient this comes up right before he announces....meanwhile we have a self admitted pussy grabber in charge....GOP strategist....do as I say, not as I do

Move on please.

She’s a BernieSanders plant sad

OK THEN YOU EXPLAIN THIS EPISODE OF SEXUAL TOUCHING

Do you support Biden2020?

Alzheimer's?

centrists Clintonistas...such anger

I bet you there is a video or picture somewhere....

Hm...not sure about creepy behavior with this lady, but this plenty of photographic evidence of him pawing at other women, children, and even babies

Of course he doesn’t

I'm sure he doesn't remember groping, kissing, and sniffing the dozens of other women either?

Damn all the left media are sidelining Biden to make way for Bernie Lol

He’s a perv for sure

Lucy the alleged victim is a Bernie Bro. Here she is:

Analysis | Why is Joe Biden all over Tinder? The former vice president has become the Internet’s favorite wingman.'As far as I know, Joe Biden is not on Tinder himself. But in typical Biden fashion, he is somehow always there.' I'm not even going to read this article...the teaser was enough for me. I enjoyed it very much, Thank you.
