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.

My Dad,an outstanding...and thoroughly decent...man became quite confused as he reached his mid 80s. Because of failing physical,and mental,health we had to put him in a nursing home when he was 87.While there he would occasionally do (and say) inappropriate,and embarrassing,things to female staff members.

But he,unlike Plugs,was approaching 90...never did *anything* like that until his mid 80s...and had been diagnosed with a degenerative brain disorder.

It would take serious courage for her to do so. If she did she could expect harassment (and worse) from Rat Party Headquarters like she never imagined.

Even Heels Up has stated that we must *always* believe women who make such claims. Yet she chooses to run with Plugs.

Sleepy Joe came up in politics when these lifetime politicians were all boozing swingers...

Senators Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Teddy Kennedy were known for enjoying waitress sandwiches...a cute blonde waitress sandwiched between the two of them...

Biden is no different...they had so much power and money...mix that with some scotch hi-balls and, well, you know the thing...

The MEDIA conglomerate won’t touch this story, as usual...

Okey-dokey. I read somewhere that Tara Reade has said she plans to vote for Biden, the guy who assaulted her.

smh

Remember the women who accused Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh or running rape rooms when he was in High School?

Democrats have a bottomless bucket of sluts willing to lie... White liberal elites justify their lies and criminal activity by total alliance to black poverty pimps, criminals, looters, and arsonists. So, Biden gets a pass for molesting women and children. In his mind he’s keeping blacks out of chains...

I would leave her alone. It probably won’t hurt Biden, and she could be destroyed.
Is it on tape?
Are there witnesses?
Would they come forward?

If all three answers aren’t yes, leave her alone.

“While there he would occasionally do (and say) inappropriate,and embarrassing,things to female staff members.”

My 94 year old uncle was in a large assisted living center. Every year he was there 1-3 men on average would be kicked out for fondling or sexual assaulting the female staff. These men still had all their faculties.

Most likely they did this when they were younger as well.

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

Yep, that was before the check cleared. Now she doesn't mind where Joe puts his hands.

Perhaps centrist leftists have come to realize since the debate that they are on a Wiley Coyote rocket ride with the far left, and they had better get off before the end of the line, so they are turning on their tool, Biden, before it’s too late. That might explain Trump’s selective boisterousness and silence during the debate. He was pushing the right buttons to bring about this epiphany with the right people. Pure speculation.

After Trump wins, they will be as hostile and dishonest as ever, but they are no longer helping Biden. Ships are leaving a sinking rat.

Inappropriate with the willing and the adult is different than with the unwilling and the under-aged.
