Former Vice President Joe Biden emphatically supported Kavanaugh accuser Dr. Christine Blasey Ford Monday night, faltering only when a reporter asked him about the credibility of a claim made over 35 years ago.
“What I’m going to do is I’m not going to answer any more questions,” Biden said, deflecting a reporter’s question asking whether it was significant that the assault claim refers to an incident that allegedly occurred when Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was 17 years old.
“I’d be happy to talk about Ireland,” Biden added during his remarks to a group of reporters at Irish ambassador to the U.S. Dan Mulhall’s residence.
Biden delivered a glowing endorsement Monday night of women who come forward with accusations of assault. “For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real, whether or not she forgets facts, whether or not it’s been made worse or better over time,” Biden said, adding that “[coming forward] is like jumping into a cauldron.”

I guess Uncle Joe should know all about coming forward with presumption of claim's. Hoping that they forget the facts. Uncle Joe just needs to sit back and keep his Mouth & Hands to his self. Just saying !
"... you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real,..."
Unless of course you are a woman making accusations against a prominent Democrat, then your statement is a lie no ifs ands or buts.
Smooth move from a pervert on video.
So the Gropper lost his grip?
Questions getting to his tawdry family actions?
said the guy who lied about the circumstances of his first wife's demise
Joe, ask her why after having over 35 years to think on this story she's not quite ready to testify about it, but just wanted to put it out there at the 11th hour just to not say any more.
Go ahead. we'll wait right here for the answer!
