Joe Biden: 'I Will Be More Respectful Of People’s Personal Space' | NBC News

[MrDialsoap]

It would be different if everyone was held to the same standards

[shelleygold]

Oh really Joe? Does that include little children who are defenseless? WHATEVER

[CairoRipper]

Yeah, sexual harassment isn't "cool" anymore

[dvm]

Joe "I won't touch you" Biden.

[milkylicker]

Don't worry Joe. The media will certainly forgive you.

[ARTable]

Sniffing a little girl's hair is providing comfort and solace to someone? Might want to look up the definition ole Uncle Joe...

[panzer-head]

He's been doing this for decades, and he's sorry now that it could affect any campaign. Joe, your hypocrisy is showing.

[budwzr]

Joe, you aint gonna get no young nooky. Give up on it.

[JBrooksNYS]

He's talking about putting hands on shoulders and shaking hands.... what about sniffing people and flipping and tossing young girls hair and rubbing their faces? ya weirdo

[GreyCrowe]

This is hilarious. He's not even running yet. He's like faux campaigning. Now he's gotta sit there wondering when have things cooled down enough to actually jump in. lol

[gazinta]

If Uncle Joe walks up behind me and grabs me by the shoulders and whispers, "You can do this..."?
Hes catching an elbow at very least.
Homie don't play that!

[JOEL]

There is actual footage of him treating Anita Hill with so much disrespect does anybody forget this. The embarrassment the way he treated her. This guy has a history of disrespecting women now that I'm running for president I'm sorry. Next candidate.

[jTiroff]

No back massages or rubbing legs also kissing strangers on the lips. Pervy Old Uncle

[robertedelman]

I've spent my whole life fighting for women... Yeah Weinstein said the exact same thing

[peterlucus]

ITS NOT AN APOLOGY VIDEO IF HE NEVER SAID HE WAS SORRY

[myfavs]

Where is the apology? Creeper Joe is toast. He will drag this on and the stories will keep coming. Much popcorn

[lilylevental]

Biden has empathy and compassion towards fellow humans. unfortunatly during Trump era empathy and compassion fell out of fashion. Hope Biden or others will restore those to American human values.

[dbeard]

Joe...take your ball and go home, the game is over!

[kataysmith]

Anyone saying " this is just JOE, he's a physical guy" is dead wrong. On that premise then that excuse can be made for any sexual predator. This behavior is wrong no matter how you slice it. Making excuses for his age or changing times doesn't cut it either.

[waynepret]

This accusation waged against Joe is total BS. We as a society need to learn the difference between things of a sexual nature and general human contact. Unbelievable. But I admire that VP Biden has taken responsibility and acknowledged the allegations. Smh
