The GOP doesn't care about the Biden allegation

Literally could give not one damn. The President bought a teenage beauty pageant so he could walk into the dressing room.

Kavanaugh got confirmed despite credible evidence he attempted to rape someone.

Jim Jordan enabled someone assaulting his students.

No amount of us going overboard and over punishing people for minor personal infractions is going to get the GOP to change their behavior. They are still not going to care.

The far left is weaponizing this right now in an attempt to take Vice President Biden before he even declares but the right will weaponize it. The people on the Bernie side promoting this should be careful with the sexual harassment allegations from the 2016 campaign which will no doubt be brought up again if he was to become the nominee by both the media and the right.

The people who allege this both say it was not assault, sexual harassment, or malicious. I don't even know why we are having the conversation.

I also say this as a person who literally cringes when anyone touches me that I'm not very familiar with. Setting boundaries with people seems appropriate and not taking offense when someone is more friendly than you are as long as they don't take offense you don't like being touched seems to be the prescription here.

1. Of course they don't care about the Biden allegation. But they sure aren't going to not use it.

Its use is to deny Biden the Democratic nomination, if Faux Snooze can get us fighting with each other.

If Biden is the nominee, they will switch to something else, they know Trump is way worse than Biden on this issue.

It takes a big contender out, one that Trump is worried about facing and lets him run against the socialist, something he's been teeing up for months now.

Biden has consistently led him in every poll by margins greater than any other Dem. Of course Repubs want to knock him down.
