Ny feelings are similar. Worthy of a rebuke perhaps were he a member of Congress if this story is true, relatively miner in the realm of inappropriate behavior, but yes inappropriate. She was the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor of Nevada at the time, so she has credibility.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
