Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden made a “touching apology” last month for his hands-on approach to women in public
He said he understood the complaints of young ladies that felt uncomfortable near him.
“Social norms have begun to change, they’ve shifted,” he said. “And the boundaries protecting personal space have been reset, and I get it. I get it.”
Just two months laters, Biden is back to being “touchy-feely” at his campaign rallies. He began chatting with a very young girl in the audience, who said that her favorite subject was journalism.
“I bet you are as bright as you are good looking,” he told her, to which the audience laughed.
Biden escorted the 10-year-old girl to the back of the room with his hands firmly on her shoulders, and can be seen whispering in her ear.

Social media went off on the former Obama pal.
I had to stop watching, just couldn’t watch it all. My skin was peeling off.

Even liberals condemned Biden.
Shaun King, columnist at The Intercept, a far-left news site, tweeted “This may be a tipping point, honestly.”

Biden, who has been running away from the pack of candidates since he announced, risks losing his grip on the 2020 nomination if he can’t stop touching young women.
And if the Democrats dump Biden, they risk sending an unelectable candidate to face off against President Donald Trump.
