[Trang Ánh Nam] New comment on Nancy Pelosi says allegations of inappropriate tou....

Trang Ánh Nam has left a new comment on your post "Nancy Pelosi says allegations of inappropriate tou...":

"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," she said.
A longtime Biden ally told CNN's Jeff Zeleny on Sunday there were no signs the former vice president was reassessing his 2020 plans in the wake of the allegations, but cautioned Biden had still not made a final decision.
After Flores went public, some of Biden's potential 2020 competitors addressed the allegations, with many of them expressing that they believed Flores.
"I think what this speaks to is the need to fundamentally change the culture of this country and to create environments where women feel comfortable and feel safe and that's something we have got to do," Sen. Bernie Sanders said Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation."
Also over the weekend, former Biden staffers came to his defense in response to Flores' essay.
Kendra Barkoff Lamy, who worked for the former vice president, tweeted, "As a former staffer for @JoeBiden and also someone who works on women's issues, I can say unequivocally that I was never uncomfortable with how he treated me or other women. He dedicated his career to women's empowerment, safety & equality. That's one reason why I worked for him."
Late Monday night, Meghan McCain -- the co-host of "The View" and the daughter of the late Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who was close with Biden -- also defended the former Delaware senator.
"Joe Biden is one of the truly decent and compassionate men in all of American politics," the conservative commentator and co-host of ABC's "The View" said. "He has helped me through my fathers diagnosis, treatment and ultimate passing more than anyone of my fathers friends combined. I wish there was more empathy from our politicians not less."
