In reply to the discussion: This is a great statement from Joe Biden [View all]Cha
(319,176 posts)112. Flores is trying to cram as much gaslighting as
she can in those 15 minutes. And, still no evidence other than her evolving story.
And, there is evidence of her trying to smear Hillary in 2017.. so I'm going with Vice President Biden's statements.

Event organizer: Biden, accuser were never alone together
I have thoroughly reviewed photographic documentation from the event, and spoken to nearly every principle in attendance, as well as staff associated with the event. To the best of our recollection, at no time were Lucy Flores and Vice President Biden alone, Henry Munoz, co-founder of Latino Victory Project, said in a statement.
Lucy is my good friend and a good friend to Latino Victory, which has strongly supported her political career. I also firmly believe that women need to be supported and heard and that there is a reckoning in our culture that is long overdue. Vice President Biden is also my close friend, to the degree that he presided over my own marriage. These are both individuals that I love and respect, he said.
Yet at no time were these two leaders alone together and I, and the organization I cofounded and those in attendance, do not believe that circumstances support allegations that such an event took place, he added.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

You mean the non-apology apology? I'm glad Biden didn't give that load of crap n/t

No, they're different ... the "I'm sorry if you were offended" is the classic non-apology apology
