WASHINGTON - Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, facing a growing swell of allegations that he has made women uncomfortable with his use of physical contact, made light of the controversy on Friday while continuing to lay the groundwork for his 2020 presidential run.
Biden’s remarks were his first public comments since more than a half-dozen women aired their complaints that he had touched them inappropriately at political events. Speaking to reporters after the speech, Biden expressed regret over the criticism that his tactile behavior made some women uncomfortable but stopped short of apologizing.
