Biden’s Problem Is His Ego

Joe Biden wants us to believe that all his touching speaks to how deeply he cares about other people.
It’s really a testament to how much regard he has for himself.
As everyone has always known, Biden is prone to weird and wildly over-familiar interactions with women, which are extensively on the record and have been the subject of jocular commentary over the years.
The #MeToo era has put his grabby style in a different light, and now he’s had to tweet out a video saying he gets it.
Biden’s conduct is obviously different and less blameworthy than the men caught up in #MeToo: It’s not furtive, but out in the open, not sexual, but affectionate. He doesn’t stand accused of cruelly manipulating anyone or creating a hostile workplace.
No, his fundamental offense is not realizing that some people might not be as into Joe Biden as Joe Biden is into Joe Biden. He has an ego, not a libido, problem.
Biden lost all self-awareness somewhere in the Senate chamber about 40 years ago.
