Lucy Flores, the first woman in recent days to accuse Joe Biden of inappropriate touching, slammed the former vice president for making a joke about the allegations on Friday.
Biden, who is expected to jump into the 2020 presidential race in the coming weeks, joked twice Friday during a speech in Washington about several womens claims that he made them uncomfortable with overly intimate contact.
I want you to know, I had permission to hug Lonnie, Biden said after he embraced Lonnie Stephenson, the president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union, drawing laughter from the crowd.
Biden referenced the accusations again during his speech after putting his arm around a child on the event's stage.
"By the way, he gave me permission to touch him, he said.
The jokes follow a video Biden released Wednesday in which he did not apologize for his past behavior, but said hed be more mindful of womens personal space.
Social norms have begun to change, theyve shifted, and the boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset, and I get it, he said in the video. I hear what theyre saying. I understand it. Ill be much more mindful. Thats my responsibility, and Ill meet it.
However, Biden refused to apologize for his actions while talking with reporters after his D.C. speech.
Im not sorry for any of my intentions. Im not sorry for anything that I have ever done. I have never been disrespectful intentionally to a man or a woman. So thats not the reputation Ive had since I was in high school, for Gods sakes, he said.

well said!
Funny how creepy uncle Joe’s touchy feely has all of a sudden become offensive to liberal women.
Not only did they ignore it for years, it doesn’t compare to Slick Willie’s violent assaults and rapes of women.
Democrat morals and outrage are very person specific as well as politically expedient. A crime for one man is a laudable action for another. Teddy “the swimmer” comes to mind.
I am uncertain whether some freepers are OK with Joe Biden putting his wandering paws all over women and little girls.
When I see the pictures and videos of Biden’s actions, it makes me sick - and I am not a prude about hugs & kisses. They ought to be appropriate for the situation, and Joe Biden does not know these females personally, so keep his hands to himself. A quick hug by putting one arm & hand on a shoulder seems appropriate to me. A fast peck on the cheek is OK too. But his techniques include grabbing shoulders from behind and nuzzling hair and kissing the back of the head; putting hands on thighs of little girls sitting next to him, grabbing women by the face and planting a smack on the lips, etc.
One picture I saw had Joe behind a young girl of about 11 or 12 years. his hands were on her shoulders and one hand was draped so far down in front that it covered her right breast area - although this girl was prepubescent - it still appeared to be predatory.
Believe me, it is creepy and unacceptable.
Notice she doesn’t use the word “children” in her rant.
Don’t forget the hair plugs.
And he’s still a pedophile.
when hugging a young person or a woman you don’t know a man should let them make the first move3. In fact young people who have parents nearby will get a clue from them.
The two gorse I saw that he put his hand pin their breast while kissing their hair or whispering in their ear were not happy campers.
In one tape he’s fondling and kissing the hair of a wife while her husband speaks. I would have pushed him out same ion her fondled my kid.
Biden is trying to play this like no one has ever complained before. It’s been brought to his attention a number of times in the past, and he never changed his behavior. It wasn’t okay then either.
What about disrespect to all those little girls? It WAS intentional, those dozens of photos don't lie and those children couldn't defend themselves. What happens when photographers aren't taking pictures?
As if anyone is going to believe he ASKS before touching anyone: Excuse me but do I have permission to lay my hands on you? Thank you very much.
‘I would have pushed him out same ion her fondled my kid.’
I’d have done the same...I think...
hate auto spell
I would have punched him out
Thanks DeathBeforeDishonor1.
