K.C. June 11, 2019 Ultimately, Biden may not feel he needs to change his behavior very much.
Biden's recent comments recall a long history with girls and women Biden has long been known for touching and standing close to women, earning the nickname "Creepy Uncle Joe." But as Laura McGann wrote at Vox, the press treated the behavior more as a joke than as a serious issue - until this year.
Joe Biden meets a voter's granddaughter in an Iowa coffee shop and asks her age.
Biden's comments in both instances were widely criticized, with some arguing that Biden was, intentionally or not, sexualizing the young girls involved.
In response, Cayo told Vice, Biden brought up the Violence Against Women Act, a 1994 law he co-authored that was the first comprehensive national legislation to address domestic violence and sexual assault.
In the conversation that ensued, Cayo, who uses they/them pronouns, and the two women activists with them, asked Biden to protect assault survivors.
The candidate's base may not want him to change his behavior Given that Biden has recently been accused of inappropriate touching, you might think he would be on high alert when it comes to his behavior around girls and women.
