35. Eight women have accused Biden of touching them inappropriately or invading their personal space

None of them said Biden's behavior amounted to sexual harassment or assault.

People need to have some sense of proportion. Biden never meant to abuse his male privilege or make anyone feel degraded. He's just a physically affectionate guy who sometimes unwittingly crossed boundaries.

Compare that to Trump, who loves nothing more than to crush the souls of women. Because he's literally an evil creep.
