Former Vice President Joe Biden is finding himself under fire by many after he downplayed former Nevada Assemblywoman Lucy Flores’ allegations accusing him of inappropriate behavior.
Flores alleged in an article for The Cut — which is part of New York magazine — titled “An Awkward Kiss Changed How I Saw Joe Biden” that Biden kissed her on the back of her head without her consent while at a campaign event in 2014 when Flores was running to be lieutenant governor of the state.
Biden’s spokesperson responded in a statement to the allegation:
