Biden’s been caught on camera embracing a female reporter from behind and gripping her above her waist, just below her bust.
At a swearing-in ceremony for Defense Secretary Ash Carter, Biden put his hands on the shoulders of Stephanie Carter, Carter’s wife, and then leaned in and whispered into her ear, an incident widely discussed online.
Since Flores’s piece published, Carter has said did not feel Biden’s touch was inappropriate, but rather a reassuring gesture by an old friend.
