Pelosi: Accusations against Biden don't disqualify him
By Al Weaver - 04/01/19 07:21 PM EDT
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday that a pair of allegations of inappropriate kissing and touching against former Vice President Joe Biden should “not at all†disqualify him from the 2020 race.
“No. No, I do not,†Pelosi told reporters when asked if she thinks the allegations from two women are disqualifying.
“I don’t think that this disqualifies him from being president,†she said while walking to the House chamber. “Not at all.â€
Pelosi declined to say whether this could damage Biden in a potential 2020 bid.
The comments came after a second woman, Amy Lappos, accused Biden of inappropriately rubbing noses with her at a 2009 fundraiser in Greenwich, Conn.
