In reply to the discussion: Stephanie Carter Sets the Record Straight: That Viral Image With Joe Biden Was Not a #MeToo Moment [View all]Beartracks
(14,286 posts)18. Remember when Pres Obama scoped out that girl's butt one time?
It, too, was a still shot from a video that clearly shows that's not what he was doing.
Just like this still shot of Biden supposedly doing something inappropriate. And you know why political adversaries isolate images out of context and drop them in places where Democrats will easily find them? Because it works: in today's Me Too world a great many Democrats will believe what they think they see and spread the images far and wide, risking damage to an influential Democrat without the Republicans getting any blood on their hands.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I don't think it's going to help our society at all if people become afraid to show affection.
