White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Lucy Flores, the woman who last week accused former Vice President Joe Biden of inappropriately kissing her, was bold to stand up to the former vice president as a member of the Democratic Party.
“Lucy is very bold to come forward and I would remind the audience that she shares Joe Biden’s political party,” Conway said on “Fox News Sunday” to host Chris Wallace.
“But all of these post-#MeToo allegations and insinuations really don’t comport with probably Joe Biden’s conduct over the years. If anybody just types and ‘Creepy Uncle Joe’ videos you come up with a treasure trove,” she added.

On Friday, Flores accused Biden in an article in The Cut of smelling her hair and kissing her on the back of the neck in 2014 without her permission.
In a statement Sunday, Biden said he “not once – never” did he think he acted inappropriately to women.
Conway, who is a senior adviser to the president, said Biden should apologize to Flores as he had to Anita Hill last week.
