Second Woman Alleges Inappropriate Touching by Joe Biden

HeadlineApr 02, 2019

A second woman has come forward accusing former Vice President Joe Biden of inappropriate touching. Amy Lappos says Biden approached her during a Democratic fundraiser in Connecticut in 2009 and proceeded to pull her head toward his face and rub noses with her. Lappos told the Hartford Courant newspaper Monday, “It wasn’t sexual, but he did grab me by the head. He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth.”

Last week, former Nevada Assemblymember Lucy Flores said Biden had inappropriately touched her during her run for lieutenant governor in 2014. Flores said Biden smelled her hair and planted a kiss on the back of her head. Biden, who is widely expected to launch a presidential campaign in the coming weeks, said in a statement that he did not believe he had ever acted inappropriately with women during his decades in public life.
