Biden Calls Trump Comments ‘Sexual Assault’
'Such behavior is an abuse of power,' vice president tweets
Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. on Saturday called Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s comments about his sexual endeavors “sexual assault.”
A video from 2005, that The Washington Post published Friday, shows Trump commenting about making moves on a woman, and how he can do anything he wants to women because he’s a “star,” including grabbing their genitals.
“The words are demeaning,” Biden said in a tweet Saturday afternoon. “Such behavior is an abuse of power. It’s not lewd. It’s sexual assault.”
The words are demeaning. Such behavior is an abuse of power. It’s not lewd. It’s sexual assault. –Joe
