7. We can believe that what they said happened actually did happen.

We can believe that it might have been uncomfortable or awkward for them. What we don't have to accept is the inference that his actions were sexually predatory. A person can report on what she felt, but in this case they are inferring intent on the part of Biden that doesn't seem to be borne out by his actions. He didn't grope them or touch them intimately or do anything that could be interpreted as a pass or a sexual come-on. I believe them when they say these actions occurred. I do not accept the inference being drawn from them. There's a difference.

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