NEW: Sen. Amy Klobuchar tells jonkarl, 'I have no reason not to believe' Lucy Flores. 'I have not read her interview, but I know the vice president addressed it ... and he will continue to address it if he decides to get into this race,' she adds.

Biden issued a statement Sunday in which he said it "was never my intention" to make Flores or another woman feel comfortable.

He added that he did not recall the alleged interaction with Flores, but said "we have arrived at an important tiem when women feel they can and should relate their experiences."Biden said he would continue to be the "strongest advocate" he can be for women. Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor and current Nevada Assemblywoman Lucy Flores introduces U.S. Vice President Joe Biden at a get-out-the-vote rally in Las Vegas, Nov. 1, 2014 .

"As 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?'” Flores wrote.

You didn't mind in these instances...

She got PAID ! If she's that thined skinned, she'd better stay out of political meetings!

Oh LUCY. What have u done? Ricky gonna be mad. U got ur 15 min of fame but in the process u have tarnished a great man. BUT UR FAMOUS

What Old Creepy Joe is just an overly exuberant individual. If he feels compassion for his fellow Democrats he may feel compelled to act with Love.

Baby she is not even cute these women are starting to get on my last nerve with all these years later allegations

I believe she is being paid to lie to keep you out of the race because the moron in the WH would never win against you! I don’t believe her or the other trick trying to do the same damn thing.

She is doing this because she is for Bernie, go away. you should have said something that day and to him, but no, you don't want him to win the presidency when he was helping your sorry ass.

She looks like a man

the things these people do to try to get in the news to make themselves relevant - smh

This is why the Democrats will lies in 2020. There is no unity.

🤣say goodbye again to dreams of being prez poor sex crazed teo loco joe...…….

But yet realDonaldTrump was elected. Accused of the rape of a 12yo girl with Epstein , admits to grabbing women and 20 women have accused him of assault. No problem there right

Biden2020

That's no Sheila, it's a guy

Smh.....

Who’s paying you her to sabotage a man who tried to help her?! This BS dilutes a Metoo movement so many women contributed heart wrenching experiences for. She makes a mockery of their pain. Hands on shoulder/fatherly peck on a head is suddenly belated sexual assault?! BS 👎

If Joe B came up behind me touched and smelled my hair he’d know it was inappropriate pretty bloody quick.

As long as he doesn’t say the word pussy in private, all is well.😳

Dude.... check tape! Keep your hands to yourself

LucyFlores I will still vote 🗳 for Joe Biden. Everyone is looking for a publicity stunt. Ltgovreally

Any honest news story about this must include the information that Ms. Flores works for a Bernie Sanders PAC

If Trump got elected, Biden can get elected. Vote Joe Biden.

I would still vote for Joe Biden.

Why allowing that need the job so bad

Forgive me if I sound insensitive, but after the whole 'grab them by the pu$$y' thing, a kiss to the back of the head or a shoulder touch or whatever light contact doesn't faze me.

Life underwater - Australian coral reef

This woman Flores is politically trying to take you down that's bullshit

Pervert

I think this woman is wanting the publicity. The news sites should not be interviewing her. She needs to talk about personal space when it happens not try to make it look like a sexual harassment problem later.

Joe is more reliable than her, she looks and sounds a liar... fake news

Sadly, it’s not the women he accosted that concern me the most, it’s the kids that we’ve all seen him with that clearly are uncomfortable around him. Any victim deserves justice, but kids can’t always speak for themselves, I hope someone will speak for them.

What happens when you type in 'Grab 'em by the p*ssy?'

Like hes telling the truth

Lucy flores dont flatter yourself.

You Better Listen Up...JoeBiden DIRTYJOE It Runs In The Family... SICKPEOPLE

Wow!! To make accusations like this just because she does not want him running for potus is pathetic!

Someone mentioned to me that Flores is really Jazz from that reality show on TLC, is that true?

🐽

It took 5 years till he was planning to run... & now ur traumatized! Plz....

🤣🤣🤣🤣If suggested I touched inappropriately... I will listen respectfully.OMG! 🤣🤣🤣🤣Who talks like that. If I am wrongly accused I would be saying she's a big fat a*s liar. Please give me the unvarnished, non pc, honest rhetoric of our Potus.

her report is difficult to understand as relatable, on several levels. Ill timed, too.

Playing dumb just like Hillary did with the illegal server! Geez!

Why did it take 5 years for Flores to come out publically on a minor matter. Who is she supporting Trump She certainly not supporting her party. How shamefull!CNNSOTU

Lucy runs one of Bernie's PACs. She not to be trusted.

Right on time, huh? .Where was this heifer at back then when this “happened”? What took u so long? Why u wait to tell this? I already know why. Every time I read this kind of garbage, I chuckle.😂

She is believable.

I’m sure it was nothing.

Biden smear job on the way.

Of course... Biden is a good candidate to the Presidency, tRumpublicans are doing everything they can to het him out of the race. Is there any “locker room talk” recorded as evidence?

Now, she says this? He kisser her on the BACK of the head? Please don't put this into the category of sexual assault. I know what sexual assault is and that's not it. MeToo

I don’t believe he ever did anything in a lewd or lustful way. He is a friendly, caring person, & showing affection & empathy years ago did not have the same connotation it does now.

Hey liberal crybabies, remember Kavanaugh? At least she has photographic proof.

Most perverts don't realize their boundaries

She is so dramatic. She is not traumatized. Used Biden for her campaign. Coming out now is ridiculous.

If lucyflores wants a paycheck I have three bucks on my bank account

Why didn’t she say something when it happened? Or when he ran in 2016? It couldn’t have been that uncomfortable. Wonder why she’s come forward now? Money? Publicity? 🤔

Remember when biden said how he would take Trump to the Wood shack? Biden is so full of crap! Wanna be Rapist Biden is his name now

Time to retire joe? You ‘d never last in a debate with trump!!!

She backed Bernie Sanders in 2016 and was at a Beto O' Rourke rally on Saturday 03/30. Trying to throw a wrench in Joe Biden's bid for 2020 presidential election? I think so

I guess I'm old fashioned but I don't see what's sexual about kissing the back of someone's head and touching their shoulders I could see if he was grinding on her bottom but kissing a head full of hair is gross. Here we go maybe he should have grabbed her by the pussy

about to be eaten by the monster you and your buddies created . very sweet

Even if it’s true...he’s a winner winner chicken dinner Trump and Kavanaugh.

This is why women aren’t taken seriously, five years later it bothers her, boo-hoo. As a survivor you make me sick.

This is a worse bogus scandal than SenGillibrand and alfranken

She wanted national attention and she got it. The media bit, hook, line and sinker. The scandal of the century.....a kiss on forehead.

JoeBiden donot run we don't need this distraction

Stinks to high heaven as a set-up.

Why now? I don’t believe one word of it. Joe Biden is leading in the Dem polls and hasn’t officially announced his candidacy. And I’m not a Dem and feel this way! Take a lie detector test!

I don’t believe her at all

Uncle Joe has ALWAYS felt up and kissed on women. Hope this gets the coverage that a private conversation from the potus got. Where is all the leftist outrage?

Then either a) Joe Biden is not aware of the many times he’s acted inappropriately (not good) b) He’s lying (really not good).

The only thing inappropriate about this is waiting 4 years to claim this happened. I guess she finally decided her life was ruined.

How convenient when he possibly may run for the Presidency. How much did Trump pay her? Something doesn't smell right here. I am strongly against sexual harassment, but this seems fishy. When did this happen?

There is so much proof that he is a creepy SOB, and shouldn't be allowed around young females period. What would he do if they were alone? Hate to think...

I am so sick of this bs. Somebody really needs to define harassment. Get over yourself. It was not harassment. You were in public with people all around. If you are that sensitive never leave your home without a body guard.

Translation: I didnt do it, I didn’t do it, and I will never do it again!

Every body knows Biden thinks he has the right to hug and kiss any body he meets! BUTT he DONT!!!

enough.A Beto supporter. Keep harassment real.This is hyperbole for political gains.

No reason not to believe her. No reason not to believe him. The timing is SKETCHY. Yikes, my female teacher kissed me on the back of my head?!

It was ok for the last 4 yrs without a word. But now that Biden wants to run for president you speak up. Really lady why now?

Biden keep your hands in your pockets.

OMG he made her uncomfortable! Let’s just say it’s locker room talk and ignore it. Joe’s greetings are the equivalent of an old relative who wants a kiss and you are trying to avoid them.

So you just need to accuse someone now in order to try and destroy there reputation? This country is in a sad state and you’ll never get a good president ever again , who would want that

Give the whole quote. '...listen respectfully, with my hands caressing her shoulders.' SenatorCuddles

Hope he didn’t get lice!!!

Why did she wait all these years to come forth. Is it because Biden may run for President. What about the orange phincter doing what he did to the women. He even bragged about it.Not that I tolerate that behavior but something smells fishy .

🙄🤔🤔🤔 I'm wondering who and how much this jaw with teeth is getting paid to talk crap

Meanwhile,Trump forcibly kissed women and bragged about grabbing them by the p*ssy and the righties love him. He’s in the WH.

You decide.

Dude, that's a guy.

Oh..... I believe every word he says because there’s no proof to the contrary CreepyUncleJoe SniffSniff

With politicians this stuff always comes up at certain times...if was such an issue why wait. Well with Kavenaugh it didn’t matter so it shouldn’t here either

Tell this chic whtever needs to be said sorry or whtever bc she’s being petty for a political reason to help someone THEN right after all that’s said JoeBiden announce ur bid to run for POTUS! Don’t go further than a handshake ever again. If I was a man I’d stay far frm Lucy F.

Amazing!!!!!!! It seems like things are changing!!! Women on the left now don't see anything wrong with a kiss on the head from a man in power. Interesting how this works.

And she was traumatized for life...really?

oh please. sexual harassment: there is photographic evidence documenting his pattern of behavior where th camera captures th creeped-out look of a woman or a child. MeToo

I absolutely don't believe this RuPaul drag queen looking liar... Everybody wants their 15 minutes of Fame...

Creepy Joe Biden videos

I’ll listen, Respectfully!! What does that mean!!

I am not against women being treated equal BUT many times they go to D far don't you think? Flores just looks like an opportunist to me. Racism is critical but how about whites being segregated against by the Blacks Hmmm, good question!!

This is b.s. who is paying her?

It wasn’t sexual or domineering.She has a right to not like it, but why didnt she say something? Why blast it out to the media now? Agenda?

Nope these women and girls don't mind your creeper moves...

Therein lies the problem - he doesn’t believe his actions are inappropriate.

He’s creepy.

When did this happen

After “grab her by the pussy” and 21 sexual assault victims by the current President, my standards for politicians have dropped dramatically, honestly.

Isn’t her timing perfect

Flores works for Bernie Sanders & lots of photos online of her reaching for, grasping & kissing Biden. She comes forward while working for Sanders 2020 presidential campaign to take out Sander's potential competitor.

That’s what molesters do.

Where was when all this was going on in the past? ABC was blind to Creepy Biden’s PATTERN of touching, sniffing & whispering in ears. Not a single word until NOW that socialists are looking for a way to bump Biden out of 2020 CreepyABC

No one is better at killing their idols than the left. No one.

Times up Lucy! Please take several seats 💺!

Show the picture of her hand on his shoulder

How about the orange hair guy?

So what do we call the movement name for the odd behavior of Old Joe? JBToo JoeToo JustSayNoToJoe NoCountryForOldJoe GeeYourHairSmellsTerrificJoe

I would not think a big deal about a kiss on top of my head (but understand not ok for some); I see Biden’s heart behind it as affection, different from Trump who walks in dressing room of young girls, more of a lust motive.

WHY NOW

Of course not. He thinks it’s normal. So did Weinstein, Bill Clinton, and Jeff Epstein.

It's not OK to kiss a woman on the neck without consent but the religious people gave OK to the Pu**** grabber to be president, porno client, wife cheater to be president!

In the statement creepy Joe basically admits to it... The Democrats are going to eat them selves up can’t wait to watch the first debate

You will die if you vote for Joe again.

SpeakerPelosi You see what happens, when you pull BS out of the woodwork! As good as this guy is to go against Trump, the Dems AND the media pulled a lot of non sense out, just because they didn't like Trump! Now look, you know she's lying!! Thanks for giving him the seat back!!

Biden is the only democratic threat to the trump admin. I thought grabbing them by the pussy was a popular thing to do!

Kudos to Biden for handling this in an honest, and professional way...unlike other politicians do!

I AM THE VICTIM OF RAPE AS A MINOR, BUT TO JUST HAVE SOMEONE SCREAM HE KISSED HEAD IS GETTING A BIT CRAZY, WHY DIDN'T SHE SPEAK UP BEFORE, BEFORE LONG WOMEN WHO ARE ATTACKED, RAPED HAVE THEIR PUSSY GRABBED WILL NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

Simple rule: JUST DONT TOUCH ANYBODY, PERIOD.

Yes Joe Biden has done some creepy hair smelling. But this accusation is coming from the left. He will take votes and they don’t want a white man in this race. This is the left eating their own! 😬

Well, since Pandora’s box is opened, any interaction between living beings might be described as inappropriate.

LucyFlores is desperate for 15 minutes of fame. I hope you don’t have PTSD from a kiss to the back of your head. Who’s paying you? Biden2020

Spoken like a true sexual predator.

To all those comparing this to Kavanaugh, there’s a big difference. Plenty of video evidence of Creepy Uncle Joe touching young girls but not one bit of physical evidence against Justice Kavanaugh.

I tell ya. These days, all men (or women) should ask the other side to sign the contract before they touch any body part if it's ok. Otherwise, it's all sexual harassment, baby.

“accusations by former nevada lawmaker LucyFlores of inappropriate touching and kissing.” —It takes two to tango, lady. If you were not overpowered by physical force then you're half the problem yourself, if you can even look in the mirror. Lead the guy on & press charges? No!

It’s a habit Biden used to be a smell tester for hair products

Smelling hair and a kiss on back of neck is inappropriate touching wow people are now just so sensitive. You could sneeze and someone would say inappropriately touched them

VP Joe Biden is not that kind of guy. This is politically motivated stunt. Joe Biden is a decent and outstanding family man. We know his character. VP Joe Biden, please run you got my vote.

'inappropriate touching' or display of affection? Damn, some days I'm glad I'm old.

'Not once – never – did I believe I acted inappropriately...' ** I'm using this line!!**

As a Progressive wondering why LucyFlores waited to unleash these SexualMisconduct Allegations so long after a BENIGN incident. No longer sounds like Apprehension.. more like Opportunity! Media must act RESPONSIBLY! MSNBC CNN CBSNews

Girls.need to.stop with the acusations enough already

omg. There were sooooo many pics and videos going aroung about his phone book fingers....and kisses... it was just sickening. But it's very hard for me to believe he never heard anyone say anything about him in that manner. Google it. How could he NOT have heard

old geezer, there’s FOOTAGE.

Remember when liberals wanted to defend women? Guess that’s not the case any longer.

Everything is inappropriate this days smh

Where’s the media outrage? Let me guess, ABC et al will begin their character assassinating role. I remember when the media said we should believe the accusers... guess there never was a real concern for women from liberals after all.

All victims should be believed till its a democrat who is accused

but meanwhile Donald tRump has all kinds of sexual harassment claims against him, and is even caught on tape talking about 'grab 'em by the p-ssy' and 53% of white women still voted for him...fakeoutrage

How convenient.Trump grabs them by the p*ssy, brags about it and gets elected. Go Joe!

Translation: I don’t think that sniffing hair and kissing women without their consent is bad. If they think it is and speak out about it, I’ll hear what they have to say, but admit no wrongdoing.

She looks like one of them he shes!

Of course he believes that. And that's why he's part of the problem.

What color was the dress?

Grandpa, its not ok to sniff anyones hair. Lets start there and if you can proceed we can discussing kissing someone.

That seems fair because it's just about feelings, no laws were broken and it was in public.

First of all have you seen this lady? In sure if someone was going to force themselves on someone they would at least choose a person that doesn't look like a dude hahaa

Didn’t Hillary say that if a accuser comes forward that they MUST be believed!!

The creepy one is with the child. That one was eye opening.

inappropriate?

This is a smear campaign. Why now? Why not while he was VP? Why not after he was VP and not possibly running for president?

Accusation is all you need until it's YOU in trouble. Argue away America, 👍

video shows otherwise Joe... Sorry.. I believe the women.. you are just a creepy old man

She stands with BernieSanders so where was her truth during the MeToo movement? She looks like an opportunist and JoeBiden is still a creeper.

“.....I never had sexual relations with that woman - Ms Lewinsky....”

(continued) at the same time Biden dont do it to married women or women in a relationship not sure if he did but some men dont like there women grabbed.

Why did it take her five years to come forward ? I smell a rat with a political agenda.

This comment is indicative of someone who skipped out on govt mandated sexual harassment training.

I'm surprised that JoeBiden found LucyFlores.to be attractive.

Look I dnt like that She waited..what were you waiting on lady...this is a Problem!

Everyone know this about Biden stay away he is a good guy dont calculate on ones character. I condemn this and she is evily wrong and needs to cleanse herself to get on the right side and use this as a learning experience.

How to protect yourself from Joe Biden

And we r to believe h why? U didnt accept this statement when it came from Kavanaugh!

The Lucy Flores Show is a Bernie Sanders / David Sirota production. Bernie and Sirota want to stab Democrats in the back. Bernie Sanders and David Sirota are human waste (garbage). . NeverBernie NeverSanders NeverTrump . SenSanders LucyFlores

Thats not a Nevada lawmaker. Thats an uneducated Stone

Inappropriate?
