In reply to the discussion: if you want to defend biden, please stop, stop stop attacking lucy flores [View all]Cha
(319,023 posts)31. It doesn't work that way.. here I am calling out Flores..
There's no defending VP Biden without explaining why..
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.

Criticizing her isn't required to see her assertions as not disqualifying to Biden's campaign.

She is sent to take out Biden. Won't work. She is a Sanders surrogate sent by Sirota.
