Likely 2020 hopeful Joe Biden recorded a video apology, after being called out by four women for sexual harassment.
Social norms are changing. I understand that, and I’ve heard what these women are saying. Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. That’s my responsibility and I will meet it. pic.twitter.com/Ya2mf5ODts

Bizpacreview.com reported that Joe Biden posted a video to Twitter on Wednesday in which he addressed the complaints from women and others that he’d touched them inappropriately, which have exploded onto the national scene in the last several days.
In starting out, the former vice president and longtime U.S. senator from Delaware referred to “gestures of support and encouragement” that he’s shown to women and some men “that have made them uncomfortable.”
“In my career I’ve always tried to make a human connection,” he said into the camera. “That’s my responsibility, I think. I shake hands, I hug people, I grab men and women by the shoulders and say, ‘You can do this’ …it’s the way I’ve always been. It’s the way I’ve tried to show I care about them and I’m listening.”

Mr. Biden has come under recent fire for sexually harrassing four women, one who was only 19-years-old at the time, and who was attending an anti-sexual harrassment event when Mr. Biden reportedly placed his hand on
The Huffington Post reported that Caitlyn Caruso, a 22-year-old sexual assault survivor, told The New York Times on Tuesday that when she was a 19-year-old college student, she met Biden at an event on sexual assault at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Biden, she said, rested his hand on her thigh, even though she squirmed to indicate her discomfort. He also hugged her “just a little bit too long.” At the time, she said, didn’t say anything publicly about it because she had just shared her story of sexual assault.
“It doesn’t even really cross your mind that such a person would dare perpetuate harm like that,” Caruso told the Times.
She noted Biden was behind the 1994 Violence Against Women Act. “These are supposed to be people you can trust.”
