Joe didn't apologize for his actions...okay, fine. But, is it too much to ask not to joke about it?! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #53

Actually, I do think it is a good idea. marylandblue Apr 2019 #55

I guess that's one way to look at it... I respectfully disagree. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #57

I missed the very beginning of the speech but peggysue2 Apr 2019 #7

But, it's not just Flores objecting to Joe's questionable jokes... have you seen the coverage?! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #54

Yeah I have and everyone agrees no big deal. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #63

Okaaaaay, "everyone agrees no big deal"... then CLEARLY you have NOT been watching the coverage. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #69

Joe WILL BE mindful of "personal space" Lucy....Give it a rest. ProudMNDemocrat Apr 2019 #12

Do you REALLY think Joe's joking about these unwanted touching incidents was a good idea?! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #13

I did not see his speech today, so I am unable to opine...... ProudMNDemocrat Apr 2019 #14

Yes, I thought the video Joe put out saying he "gets it" was EXCELLENT actually... InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #22

He wasn't joking about it in a negative connotation. He was acknowledging it, because everyone in still_one Apr 2019 #31

That's PRECISELY the problem... so, why joke about it?! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #35

You are not voting for him anyway, and if enough people believe this was not still_one Apr 2019 #36

Well, that's certainly true!! But, then that applies to all candidates involving all issues... InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #37

No, It doesn't apply to all the issues. This specific issue regarding "inappropriate contact", still_one Apr 2019 #40

For the generation of voters who identify with him it was ok. And they really do vote. allgood33 Apr 2019 #15

Was just watching CNN... theyre STILL talking bout Joe's "improper jokes" about unwanted touching... InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #45

Some pundits said it and then they ran the clip which people with their own eyes and ears can UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #51

Okay fine, I accept your comment as a reasonable interpretation... InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #65

As the evening is wearing on and I'm watching more and more...I see I may be in the minority UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #66

Your comments are fair and well taken. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #68

I thought it was funny. And those who are offended are looking to be offended. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #64

Its time for JOE to move on & show that he truly "gets it." He'd thus be wise to stop wit the jokes! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #72

No, I didn't watch it. The characterization that "he was joking" was conveyed by the NY Times still_one Apr 2019 #42

I disagree with that, some pundits said it as well. I think MOST folks see that it was not trying t UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #43

I hope you are right, because almost every news outlet I have seen is characterizing it as still_one Apr 2019 #46

But then they show the clip and I didn't think he was joking and I am objective...I'm not a UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #47

Thanks still_one Apr 2019 #49

Well laughing at a "joke" is a normal response... just not very funny IMHO!! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #48
