Another woman has accused former vice-president
Joe Biden of unwanted touching, just days after former Nevada lieutenant governor nominee Lucy Flores wrote on
the Cut that he inappropriately kissed her head at a 2014 event. Speaking with the
Hartford Courant on Monday, Amy Lappos said that Biden inappropriately touched and rubbed noses with her during a 2009 political fundraiser.
Lappos, now 43, told the
Courant that the incident occurred in October 2009 during a Greenwich, Connecticut, fundraiser for U.S. representative Jim Himes. Lappos was working at the time as a congressional aide for Himes (who she says was not in the room when the incident occurred), and was volunteering at the event. “It wasn’t sexual, but he did grab me by the head,” Lappos told the
Courant. “He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth.”
