'I also have deep respect for Vice President Joe Biden
Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams on Thursday stood by Joe Biden amid mounting allegations that he inappropriately touched women while serving as vice president, saying Americans should expect their leaders to be accountable but not perfect.
She continued: “We cannot have perfection as a litmus test. The responsibility of leaders is to not be perfect but to be accountable, to say I’ve made a mistake, I understand it and here’s what I’m going to do to reform as I move forward. And I think we see Joe Biden doing that.” Biden has released two statements promising to reflect and learn from the allegations. But he has not apologized to at least four women who have publicly accused him of making them feel uncomfortable with his touching.
