Caitlyn Caruso, one of four women who in the last week have accused former Vice President Joe Biden of touching them inappropriately, said she doesn’t think those accusations are what should disqualify him from running for president in 2020. “I don’t think that these experiences should be what disqualifies him,” Caruso said in a TV interview with Univision Wednesday. She had shared her own story of sexual assault there, and says that afterward, Biden had rested his hand on her thigh even though she squirmed to indicate discomfort. Biden is an architect of the landmark Violence Against Women Act and has built a legacy of championing women’s rights and supporting sexual assault survivors. Earlier on Wednesday, Biden released a video statement in response to the recent accusations, saying he would be “more mindful and respectful of people’s personal space.” He stopped short of apologizing to accusers.
