14. did they do so at the time?

Wed Apr 10, 2019, 10:12 AM

Apr 2019

did they remove his hand from their shoulders and say "your physical expression of either support or sympathy is not needed or wanted"

did they say anything at the time at all?

Did they complain when others (especially those who they now support for POTUS) did the exact same thing as Joe?

If they didn't complain about Bernie Sanders putting HIS hands on their shoulders either then or now... why the dual standard?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
