Former US vice president Joe Biden insisted Sunday he has never acted inappropriately towards women as a growing row about a kiss on the campaign trail cast a shadow over his expected run for the White House.
His 39-year-old accuser Lucy Flores said in a new television interview that Biden’s behaviour meant he should not run for president shortly after Biden released a statement trying to quell the storm.
