In February, former vice president and 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden demanded that Virginia’s Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam resign after Big League Politics, and endorsed accused rapist Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, also a Democrat, to fill Northam’s role.

“There is no place for racism in America. Governor Northam has lost all moral authority and should resign immediately, Justin Fairfax is the leader Virginia needs now,” Biden Tweeted at the time.

A day later, Big League Politics exposed Fairfax as an alleged rapist. Biden, like most leftist politicians, fell silent about the political leadership in Virginia once both politicians were accused of wrongdoing.

Biden’s campaign is off to a rough start, clouded by accusations of groping during his exploratory committee days.

Big League Politics reported:

Former vice president and possible Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden stands accused of physical misconduct against a female Latina Democrat politician.

“In 2014, I was the 35-year-old Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor in Nevada…As I was taking deep breaths and preparing myself to make my case to the crowd, I felt two hands on my shoulders. I froze. ‘Why is the vice-president of the United States touching me?’ Lucy Flores said.

I felt him get closer to me from behind. He leaned further in and inhaled my hair. I was mortified. I thought to myself, “I didn’t wash my hair today and the vice-president of the United States is smelling it. And also, what in the actual fuck? Why is the vice-president of the United States smelling my hair?” He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head. My brain couldn’t process what was happening. I was embarrassed. I was shocked. I was confused. There is a Spanish saying, “tragame tierra,” it means, “earth, swallow me whole.” I couldn’t move and I couldn’t say anything. I wanted nothing more than to get Biden away from me. My name was called and I was never happier to get on stage in front of an audience.

By then, as a young Latina in politics, I had gotten used to feeling like an outsider in rooms dominated by white men. But I had never experienced anything so blatantly inappropriate and unnerving before. Biden was the second-most powerful man in the country and, arguably, one of the most powerful men in the world. He was there to promote me as the right person for the lieutenant governor job. Instead, he made me feel uneasy, gross, and confused. The vice-president of the United States of America had just touched me in an intimate way reserved for close friends, family, or romantic partners — and I felt powerless to do anything about it.”

Several other women have accused Biden of similar activity, forcing him to pledge to stop groping women. Biden’s history of plagiarism also resurfacedamid the groping claims.
