Wife of Boston Marathon hero said Biden touched her in 'an inappropriate and uncomfortable way'
Washington Examiner ^

Posted on 10/01/2020 3:17:29 AM PDT by TigerClaws

The wife of a Massachusetts transit police officer who was injured in the manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombers accused Joe Biden of touching her inappropriately and making a suggestive comment in 2014.

In two Facebook posts, one of which has since been deleted, Kim Donohue alleged that during a remembrance ceremony in Boston, a year after the April 2013 deadly bombing, then-Vice President Biden began "rubbing" her lower back.

"Look at those eyes, where did you get those eyes?" Donohue wrote. "Anyone else as good looking as you in that family ... those eyes are mesmerizing, people must just do whatever you say."

In a separate post, this one made in July 2016, Donohue reiterated her claim that Biden "greeted me by rubbing my back in an inappropriate and uncomfortable way" then "pushed" her husband, Dic Donohue, who was shot in the leg by one of the Tsarnaev brothers, aside.

"Biden then asked if I wanted to ride in a car with him down to a ceremony we were all attending at the Marathon finish line," Donohue wrote. "He led me down a black hallway (Dic of course followed) and I got inside the most uncomfortable 3 person car ride I have ever been in."

When reached for comment, Kim Donohue confirmed making the accusations against Biden but would not discuss them further. An individual close to Donohue said her politics have shifted since the Obama years, and she is now supportive of the Democratic Party and Biden's candidacy.

"I couldn't get out of that car fast enough, I practically dove into the pavement," Donohue wrote in the comments of the post.

Dic Donohue, who retired from law enforcement in 2016, nearly died following a shootout with the Tsarnaev brothers, who were responsible for detonating two bombs near the finish line of the Boston marathon that killed three people and injured 264 others. During his remarks at the one-year anniversary of the attacks, Biden praised first responders like Dic Donohue for their courage.

“We will never yield, we will never cower, America will never, ever, ever stand down,” Biden said. “We are Boston. We are America. We respond, we endure, we overcome, and we own the finish line! God bless you all, and may God protect our troops.”

The Biden campaign did not comment on the social media posts from Donohue.

Since right before Biden first entered the presidential campaign in April 2019, multiple women have come forward, accusing him of inappropriate behavior.

"I’m not sorry for any of my intentions. I’m not sorry for anything that I have ever done," Biden said in a video after eight women came forward accusing him of unwanted touching. "I have never been disrespectful intentionally to a man or a woman."

Biden later said he "wouldn't be surprised" if more women came forward sharing similar experiences.

The first woman to come forward, Lucy Flores, was the 2014 Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor of Nevada. In an essay for the Cut, Flores said Biden approached her from behind, kissed the back of her head, and smelled her hair.

"I recognize my responsibility to be a voice, an advocate, and a leader for the change in culture that has begun but is nowhere near finished. So I want to address allegations by a former staffer that I engaged in misconduct 27 years ago," Biden said in a statement released in May. "They aren’t true. This never happened."

Multiple women have accused President Trump of sexual misconduct, including two women who accused him of sexual battery in court. Nearly a dozen other women have accused the president of unwanted groping and other advances during his pre-White House days.

Of course. The last paragraph is the Biden excuse.

I swear on a stack of Bibles that I thought this was from the Onion or BabylonBee, until i went to Washington Examiner. And they ended the article with a diatribe on Trump.

The difference is that Biden on on video repeatedly doing it. With Trump, there is a lot of miraculous timing, hearsay and no actual evidence.

Byedone is one creepy dude. He must be going through gropers withdrawal now that everyone knows he’s a weirdo and the camera don’t lie. Maybe he’s got a blow up doll that he uses to satisfy his cravings.

I’m glad she came forward. I hope more women speak out about creepy Joe. The party of #metoo is running a serial predator.

I believe both Trump & Biden have probably been inappropriate with multiple women over the years. Biden, though, also goes after young girls...

“ I’m glad she came forward. I hope more women speak out about creepy Joe. The party of #metoo is running a serial predator. ”

What difference does it make? These women are all being ignored, anyway. But if Trump were accused, the news would be all over the place, and everyone would know their names.

I know someone who was groped by Biden too. I am trying to convince her to come forward.

She told me about it at least 3 or 4 years ago (a long long time before he was even running for President)

Joey Fingers is Grandpa Groundhog’s alter ego. Biden is a failure as a human being.

What a disgusting wretch this woman is. She’s quoted in this article as still supporting Biden for President, despite this accusation. Why even come forth with this then?

I just talked to someone yesterday, who escorted Biden on a visit to a Government facility a few years ago (as VP). He was creepy with women there, and that was the main topic of discussion between the folks there, after he left. Several women were made uncomfortable, in a short visit.

I think this article is about what she said in 2016 and before.

These stories have been circulating a long time. Unfortunately, they will have zero impact on the election.

No concern for the little girls felt up by Joe the Democrat Party? Plenty of videos on You Tube but the Rat voters couldn’t care less.
