Letter: Joe Biden sets a bad example for men in power

Joe Biden’s true apology for his uncalled-for and uncomfortable touching of women should come in the form of him taking his name out of consideration for president.

When Donald Trump and his nasty dialogue toward women was made public, liberals demanded that he be kept from the office of president, but why so quiet now?

“Oh, he’s such a cute, sweet, old man who means well. He’s harmless,” claims one of my liberal, female colleagues.

Interesting how a political party can completely sway the perception of somebody when wrongdoing has occurred. Unwelcome hugging and the kissing of hands and heads of anybody is wrong, but especially women.

Clearly, there is a problem, and the fact that Biden refuses to apologize confirms that he is not in a position to run this country. The message to men, especially men in power, must be sent that this behavior is not OK.

More women have come forward with justifiable claims about Biden’s inappropriate actions, but they are being ignored. This must change.

I am not in a position to define what #MeToo means, but I think it’s easy to see when it happens, and in this case, I think the hashtag is justified.
