The former vice president was accused of inappropriately touching a Connecticut woman just days after the same allegations from a Nevada woman.
Another woman has stepped forward to claim former Vice President Joe Biden made unwanted and inappropriate contact with her.
“It wasn’t sexual, but he did grab me by the head,” Lappos told the Hartford 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.” "I never filed a complaint, to be honest, because he was the vice president. I was a nobody," Lappos said."There's absolutely a line of decency. There's a line of respect. Crossing that line is not grandfatherly. It's not cultural. It's not affection. It's sexism or misogyny."
Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, both 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, have pressed Biden to answer or respond to the accusations.
