On Tuesday, the Albany Times-Union reported that an unnamed female aide to Governor Andrew Cuomo had filed a complaint against him accusing him of touching her inappropriately. On Wednesday, the paper reported the explosive details from the complaint: She says she was groped by Cuomo after she had been summoned to the governor’s residence in late 2020. According to the account, the staff member - whose identity is being withheld by the Times-Union because she is not authorized to speak publicly - was summoned to the executive mansion on the pretext of fixing a minor issue with his cell phone,...

Women are the subject of unwanted sexual advances and physical contact all the time. Despite this, they often have a hard time being believed. In 2018 Swiss beverage company Schweppes teamed up with Brazilian advertising agency Ogilvy to create dresses that records groping. This is their “Dress for Respect” project. (1) Dress For Respect: Dresses that Records Groping After hearing numerous complaints from women that even men they trust don’t believe them when they experience sexual harassment, Schweppes and Olgivy created dresses that record groping using built-in sensors. (2) Three women were then sent on a night out wearing the...

During a campaign speech, Joe grabbed a female reporter's arm and held it for an extended time while admonishing her not to ask such a brazen question, or something to that effect. The reporter had comments on this incident which were all over the internet. Joe was being an a$$hole, and that was pretty much the story.

**SNIP** Banners advertising a Delaware casino hang from a domed ceiling above tables where patrons can enjoy quick bites from restaurants like Panda Express, Popeye’s, and Pret a Manger. In the bathrooms, signs over air hand dryers informing that the building is “an environmentally friendly ‘Green’ building” have letters missing and rewritten in fading black sharpie. “There’s a lot of broken toilets,” one woman complained. Several patrons hardly noticed the name of the building, while others chuckled at realizing that the rest stop bears the name of the former vice president and 2020 Democratic front-runner. “I was just laughing as...

RUSH: This is Steve Castor. I mentioned this also in the previous hour, but I want you to actually hear it: Vindman admitting that in his opinion Hunter Biden had no qualifications for being on this board of Burisma. CASTOR: We talked a little bit at your deposition about whether Mr. Biden was qualified to serve on this board. And I believe you acknowledged, that apparently, he was not, in fact, qualified? VINDMAN: As far as I can tell, he - he didn’t seem to be. RUSH: Now, Steve Castor is the Republican counsel who starts off in a plodding,...

Laura Ingraham continued to pressure Senate Republicans on Wednesday, just a day after she urged Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to "stand up" against House Democrats, saying there is no Republican Party in 2020 without President Trump. "Naturally, Republican senators are being bombarded by Never Trumpers and Democrats," Ingraham said on "The Ingraham Angle. "Take a principled stand against the White House! Protect your party's future! Stand against Trump!," she mocked. ""Spare us. The crisis is the Democrats' own making, and it's up to Republicans to ensure that this never happens to any president of either party again." Ingraham delivered...

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Joe Biden left an Iowa teacher unimpressed with his canned response to her question about collective bargaining, but what she resented more was how he abruptly seized her hands and clung onto them. Jessica Roman, 41, had stopped Biden, 76, as he greeted voters on Monday during the Hawkeye Area Labor Council's Labor Day picnic in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The North Liberty preschool teacher, who works with special needs children, was pressing the former vice president on his plans to help unionized members of her profession under recent changes to Iowa's collective bargaining laws when he...

More than two decades before Jeffrey Epstein took his own life, a woman went into a California police station and filed one of the earliest sex-crime complaints against him: that he groped her during what she thought was a modeling interview for the Victoria’s Secret catalog. Alicia Arden said she never heard back from investigators about her complaint. No charges ever came of it. And to this day she sees it as a glaring missed opportunity to bring the financier to justice long before he was accused of sexually abusing dozens of teenage girls and women.

Joe Biden hasn't changed. After several women said earlier this year that Biden had touched them in ways that made them uncomfortable, the former vice presiudent and 2020 Democratic candidate promised to be "much more mindful" of people's personal space. But recent incidents tell a different story. Last month, he called a 10-year-old--girl "good looking" at a campaign event. ... And in an exchenge that went viral on Twitter, he wagged his finger at an activist, K.C. Cayo, who asked him about abortion rights. ... Biden has long been known for touching and standing close to women, earning the nickname...

**SNIP** Biden “has not at this point changed his position on the Hyde Amendment,” his campaign told HuffPost, and contended that “the Hyde Amendment does not prevent organizations in the U.S. that provide lifesaving health care services for women from receiving the federal funding they need.” Because the provision bans Medicaid, Medicare and other federal health insurance programs from covering the vast majority of abortions, low-income women and women of color are disproportionately affected by it. Democrats and other 2020 candidates quickly slammed Biden for standing by such a policy. “It’s been the law for a while, and it’s been...

You didn’t expect us to just let Uncle Joe coast to victory, did you? Where’s the fun without the Sturm und Drang? In case you missed it, a media narrative developed this week to give pragmatic Democrats something new to worry about: Joe Biden’s “enthusiasm gap.” The story goes like this: “He’s dominating in the polls, his fundraising is going gangbusters and he’s showing broad support from key political players in the early presidential states,” observed Politico this week. “So where are the big energetic crowds, the lines around the block to get into Joe Biden’s events?” This raises several...

President Donald Trump’s supporters have settled on a strategy to undermine former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign for president: equate him with former nominee Hillary Clinton, The Atlantic reports. In 2016, Trump and his allies hit Clinton heavily over her record in Washington, painting her as an ineffectual D.C.-insider who’s working to uphold the status quo, a strategy they hope to repeat with Biden, the current frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. "The notion that [Biden is] arguing for the status quo is a little hard when the status quo is Donald Trump,” an anonymous Biden adviser told the Atlantic. “What...

“‘You know there’s an old Irish saying, there’s all kinds of old Irish sayings. My grandfather Finnegan, I think he made them up. But uh, it says, may the hinges of our friendship never go rusty. Well, with these two folks that you’re about to meet if you haven’t already, there’s no doubt about them staying oiled and lubricated here. Now for you who are not full Irish in this room, lubricated has a different meaning for us all.’” “‘If I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Nevada Democrat who accused Joe Biden of touching her without permission says the former vice president has been "so incredibly disrespectful" by joking about the matter. Lucy Flores leveled her criticism Monday on Fox News as Biden nears an announcement of his 2020 presidential campaign. Flores, a former Nevada state legislator, said she wants to force a discussion of how powerful men treat women, even as she affirms that her recollections of a 2014 encounter with Biden don't involve touching of a sexual or violent nature. "The basis of the behavior that I talked about was...

Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden on Friday said that he was not sorry for his habit of stroking and kissing women in professional settings. “I’m sorry I didn’t understand more. I’m not sorry for any of my intentions. I’m not sorry for anything I’ve ever done,” he told reporters in Washington. Mr. Biden is poised to enter the 2020 Democratic presidential race as the front-runner, but recent complaints by several women about his handsy behavior over the years has cast doubt over his expected run. **SNIP** Two days earlier, he posted an online video in which he promised to...

Former Vice President Joe Biden is facing new scrutiny over his past comments and actions in Ukraine, including bragging that he pressured the country to fire its top prosecutor, who happened to be leading a corruption investigation of a natural gas company that employed his son Hunter Biden. **SNIP** But Biden's role in the firing of Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin in 2016, after Shokin as part of a corruption probe targeted a natural gas firm that hired Biden's son two years earlier, could prove a bigger issue. Last year, during a Council on Foreign Relations event, Biden told the...

Easily the most hands-on vice president the United States has ever seen, Joe Biden’s creepy old man behavior is finally catching up with him. After decades of snuggling up to, hugging, sniffing, and kissing unsuspecting, helpless women of all ages, the avuncular, gaffe-prone 76-year-old politician has suddenly come under attack for two such examples of unwanted touching that allegedly took place in Nevada in 2014 and in Connecticut in 2009. Lucy Flores, the Democrats’ nominee for lieutenant governor of Nevada five years ago, wrote an essay March 29 at something called The Cut detailing how she endured undesired touching by...

Following an allegation that former Vice President Joe Biden inappropriately touched and kissed a former candidate in Nevada during a 2014 campaign event, Whoopi Goldberg is coming to his defense. During "The View" on Monday, the daytime talk show panel addressed the recent allegations Lucy Flores made against Biden, 76, with Goldberg saying that some would say the potential 2020 Democratic candidate is "overly familiar" with people he interacts with and explaining that he’s just “a hands-on kind of guy." Co-host Meghan McCain then went on to discuss how Flores "does not claim this is a MeToo moment" and the...

Democratic presidential contender Amy Klobuchar said she had 'no reason' not to believe Joe Biden's accuser while Sen. Bernie Sanders said the incident doesn't disqualify the former vice president from running in 2020. 'I have not read her interview, but I know the vice president addressed it there in that statement and he will continue to address it if he decides to get into this race,' Klobuchar said of Lucy Flores' accusation. 'I have no reason not to believe her,' she noted on ABC's 'This Week.' **SNIP** 'I'm not sure that one incident alone disqualifies anybody, but her point is...
