Joe Biden’s ‘strange choice’ for VP search committee has a sordid sexual scandal of his own
April 30, 2020 | Robert Jonathan

With Joe Biden facing a credible sexual assault allegation, one of the members of the presumptive Democrat presidential candidate’s vice presidential vetting committee allegedly has an unusual and disturbing aspect to his resume.

Ex-U.S. Senator Chris Dodd is accused of participating in what might amount to a WWE-style “waitress sandwich” in December 1985, which was reported by two liberal news outlets.

A fellow Democrat, the late Sen. Ted Kennedy was allegedly his tag-team partner in the incident.

According to a report in GQ magazine, Kennedy “allegedly manhandled a pretty young woman employed as a…waitress” in a Washington, D.C. restaurant.

“As [the waitress] enters the room, the six-foot-two, 225-plus-pound Kennedy grabs the five-foot-three, 103-pound waitress and throws her on the table. She lands on her back, scattering crystal, plates and cutlery and the lit candles. Several glasses and a crystal candlestick are broken. Kennedy then picks her up from the table and throws her on Dodd, who is sprawled in a chair. With [the waitress] on Dodd’s lap, Kennedy jumps on top and begins rubbing his genital area against hers, supporting his weight on the arms of the chair…Bruised, shaken and angry over what she considered a sexual assault, [the waitress] runs from the room.”

GQ noted that the waitress declined to be quoted in the article, but allegedly confirmed the story’s accuracy.

WASHINGTON — A Massachusetts woman who accused former Sen. Chris Dodd of sexually assaulting her after a booze-fueled dinner in 1985 is speaking out, saying she can’t understand why the Biden campaign tapped him to lead their vice presidential search.

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, 77, was already embroiled in his own sexual assault controversy when the campaign last week announced Dodd, a Democratic former Connecticut senator with a past of misconduct charges, would co-chair his vice presidential selection committee.

In a lengthy phone conversation with The Post on Tuesday, Dodd’s accuser, Carla Gaviglio, now 59, said she was stunned that the Biden campaign chose the retired lawmaker, 75, when the incident between them had been in the media for decades. ...

Gaviglio was a waitress at the now-shuttered upscale Capitol Hill restaurant La Brasserie when Dodd and the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) allegedly groped her after a lengthy dinner in a private dining room in December 1985.

According to a GQ account of the night published in 1990, while the senator’s dates were in the bathroom, a “very drunk” Kennedy grabbed Gaviglio and threw her onto the table, sending plates, cutlery, glasses and candles flying.

Kennedy then picked up the terrified waitress, who was just 24 at the time, and put her on Dodd’s lap — Kennedy forcing himself on Gaviglio and rubbing his genitals on hers, the report said, the alleged assault becoming known by the cruel moniker “waitress sandwich.” ...
