Joe Biden is getting the MeToo treatment about his longtime free-and-easy comportment around women, and it’s interesting to see the panicked confusion this is sparking among Democrats.

Some obviously want to defuse this problem because they think Biden is their best shot to defeat Trump in 2020. But they have to be veeeeeery careful about how they phrase any defense of him, lest they be branded as enablers of sexual predators (Hillary Clinton is the only Democrat who get a free pass for that.) So fellow DC veterans such as Nancy Pelosi are rushing to declare that this doesn’t disqualify him from the Presidency…

The ladies of “The View” tried to depict Biden as just a warm and cuddly fellow who expresses affection physically to men and women alike but means nothing untoward by it (Whoopi Goldberg even gave a new twist to the term “a hands-on kind of guy.”)
Poor Uncle Joe just didn’t realize that the left’s constantly-changing standards have now made being a “touchy-feely” liberal creepy rather than admirable. These days, even former tree-huggers are afraid the trees will come forward and tell on them.
Even the Washington Post tried to cover for Biden and his “warm,” “affectionate” style in a way they never would for a conservative…
On the other side are those who genuinely believe Biden's behavior is out of line, and those who just think he's too old, white, male and moderate and see the accusations as a handy weapon to keep him out of the race so that a far-left female and/or minority candidate can get the nomination.
Biden has already been intimidated into apologizing for what he has been for decades, and that’s not going to help. Showing weakness like that will only embolden his opponents to find more people to accuse him of unwelcome handsiness (it’s not like there aren’t plenty out there) and turn off more moderate voters who want a President who can stand up to Russia and China, not one who wilts and grovels in the face of accusatory tweets.
This is only level one of his past that will be brought back to haunt him. This is also clambering out of the political graveyard…
Joe still hasn’t decided officially whether to get into this race. If he can’t take this initial round of the PC obstacle course that all Democratic candidates will have to endure, then he’d probably be happier staying home, where he can swim naked in his pool in peace.
Finally, comedian Tim Young might have the best comment on this whole sordid business…
