A woman accuses Biden of having inappropriately touched her during a fundraiser

A woman from Connecticut is the latest to have accused Joe Biden, a former vice president, and rumored that he hoped to be in 2020, inappropriate contacts.

Amy Lappos, 43, says Biden grabbed her head and rubbed her nose with it during a political fundraiser in 2009 in Greenwich.

"It was not sexual, but it caught me by the head," Amy Lappos told the Courant on Monday.

"He put his hand around my neck and lured me to rub my nose with me. When he attracted me, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth.

The odd meeting took place at a fundraiser for US Representative Jim Himes, where she volunteered.

"To be honest, I never complained because he was the vice-president. I was no one, "Lappos told the newspaper. "There is absolutely a line of conduct. There is a line of respect. Crossing this line is not an acquired right. It's not cultural. This is not affection. It's sexism or misogyny. "

The incident occurred inside the home of a Himes recall, sheltered from reporters, and Lappos said there were only four or five people left in the room where he had been.

"I can speak from experience when I say that it is incredibly uncomfortable and not at all acceptable. We must maintain our men to the same standards as all men, "wrote Lappos in a Facebook post about the incident.

Biden's camp did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but his spokesman issued a statement earlier Monday in which he asserted his justification after two people said that the photos that appeared to show Biden crawling or the family members came out of context.

The old eve, 76, has been scrutinized since Lucy Flores, a Democratic parliamentarian from Nevada, said last week that Biden had inappropriately kissed her in the back of her head. stopping the 2014 campaign
