		</div><p>A Democrat who accused Joe Biden of touching her without permission says the former vice president has been “so incredibly disrespectful” by joking about the matter.</p>
<p>The row comes in the week when the former vice-president is expected to formally declare his candidacy for the White House.</p>
<p>Lucy Flores, a former Nevada state politician, levelled her criticism on Monday on Fox News</p>
<p>Ms Flores said she wants to force a discussion of how powerful men treat women, even as she affirms that her recollections of a 2014 encounter with Mr Biden do not involve touching of a sexual or violent nature.</p>
<figure id="attachment_130737" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-130737" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/4A78D924-4F92-46A0-9020-8BFBB016442A.jpeg"><img class="size-full wp-image-130737" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/4A78D924-4F92-46A0-9020-8BFBB016442A.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="374" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-130737" class="wp-caption-text">Mr Biden is expected to formally announce his White House bid this week</figcaption></figure>
<p>“The basis of the behaviour that I talked about was something much more serious than just a hug,” Ms Flores said on Fox, referring to her account that during a 2014 political event Mr Biden touched her shoulders from behind, smelled her hair and kissed her head without permission.</p>
<p>“That is unprofessional, inappropriate behaviour, no matter who does it,” Ms Flores added, saying that Mr Biden and others have made light of his long history of openly affectionate behaviour toward others, particularly women.</p>
<p>“We’re talking about the fact that, as women, we have had to endure this kind of inappropriate behaviour on behalf of powerful men certainly for as long as I’ve been alive — you know, forever,” Ms Flores said.</p>
<p>Mr Biden has said he does not recall his meeting with Ms Flores the same way that she does, and he has forcefully asserted that he’s never touched anyone in a way he believed was inappropriate.</p>
<p>But after accounts from Ms Flores and other women, Mr Biden released a video saying he would be “much more mindful” of personal space.</p>
<p>“Social norms have begun to change,” he said in the video.</p>

<p>Within days, however, Mr Biden was on stage at an electrical workers conference joking that he had “permission” to hug the union leader who introduced him.</p>
<p>He later repeated the quip about a boy he invited on stage.</p>
<p>A Biden spokesman did not immediately respond late to Ms Flores’ most recent criticisms.</p>
