We've all seen him do these things.
the question is: is it enough to make him ineligible (un-electable)?
Nothing he did seems illegal, or even immoral.
It's just creepy.
And we've known it for years. "Creepy-Joe" isn't a new nickname for him.
So it was OK to do it right before our eyes.
Until one of the "victims" speaks about it in public and says she didn't like it.
So now it all comes down to the timing.
Why speak up now?
Rhetorical.
I guess we agree, it has been so odd for so long, he has been very visible doing these touchy things with cameras rolling at public events. I think SNL may have done a bit on the Weekend Update news thingy years ago too, to someone's wife from behind during a swearing in ceremony iirc.
Why no one ever told him to knock it off is a mystery...but as far as the Dems squirming ( I am not a Dem), not seeing it. The bar has been successfully lowered by previous POTUS's, current Potus, and various Senators and congressmen for 20 plus years that this is, well, creepy and uncomfortable by comparison...but not new info.
and why no "victim" ever spoke publicly before is also a mystery, cuz one of those women should have told him to cut the crap and keep your mitts off of me.
