Flores: Biden Encounter Was A Personal Space Issue, Not Sexual Harassment

Former Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor of Nevada Lucy Flores told MSNBC on Sunday that while she felt violated by an unexpected kiss from former Vice President Joe Biden, she considered the incident to be a personal space issue and not sexual harassment or assault.
For the record, I dont believe that it was a bad intention. Im not in any way suggesting that I felt sexually assaulted or sexually harassed. I felt invaded. I felt there was a violation of my personal space, she said. And its been dismissed as if its just Biden being Biden. Boys will be boys. No big deal. It is a big deal.
Flores told Politico that shes seen plenty of pictures and videos of Biden doing to women what he had done to her, calling it triggering.
When I started to see pictures of him behaving in the same way he did with me and with other women, it was very triggering, she said. I felt so much empathy for them. I knew what they were going through. I had been in their shoes.

Because she has so much "empathy". None for the guy who lacked a "bad intention"

I don't so much mind the hug, but the smelling hair and kissing the head is a little much.
