The daughter of the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is defending former Vice President Joe Biden, who has been accused of inappropriate behavior by two women.
Meghan McCain, a co-host of ABC's “The View,” made her comments in a Monday night tweet.
She wrote: “Joe Biden is one of the truly decent and compassionate men in all of American politics. He has helped me through my father’s diagnosis, treatment and ultimate passing more than anyone of my father’s friends combined. I wish there was more empathy from our politicians not less.”
A second woman, Amy Lappos, has now accused Biden of inappropriate behavior, saying he grabbed her head and touched noses with her at a 2009 fundraiser. Lucy Flores, a former Nevada state representative and the 2014 Democratic nominee for Nevada lieutenant governor, has accused Biden of coming up behind her, smelling her hair, and kissing the back of her head.
