Former Vice President Joe Biden who is considering a presidential run has faced scrutiny as of late due to his physical interactions with women. Hollywood actress and “believe all women” proponent Alyssa Milano is exposing her hypocrisy by coming to the former VP’s defense.
According to Fox News:
Alyssa Milano on Monday stood up for her “friend” Vice President Joe Biden, saying she believes he never meant to make anyone feel uneasy and that his “leadership is what our country needs” right now.
The actress’s remarks come as Biden has been accused by two women of acting inappropriately toward them.
Milano posted a string of tweets about the former world leader and possible 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, saying that “he has been a leader and a champion on fighting violence against women for many years.”
“That’s who Joe Biden is – a warm, generous individual who believes its on all of us to pay attention to women’s stories and experiences,” she wrote.
