Actress and feminist activist Alyssa Milano has come to the defense of former Vice President and likely Democratic presidential candidate “Creepy” Joe Biden, posting a lengthy statement on social media attempting to both maintain that we should “believe all women” but also believe Biden because “we cannot assume all women’s experiences are the same” — and she has personally had positive experiences with the Democratic frontrunner. Milano’s defense has not gone over well with some of her fellow feminist “allies.”
On Friday, former Nevada State Sen. Lucy Flores, a Democrat, published an account in The Cut of an experience at a campaign rally in 2014 “that changed how I saw Joe Biden”: “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 f***? 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.”
