Alyssa Milano Defends Joe Biden Amid Another Accusation
Alyssa Milano has come to the defense of potential 2020 Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
The first allegation was made by Lucy Flores, a former Nevada politician, who wrote an essay and alleged that the former VP touched her shoulders without her giving consent.
Another woman, Amy Lappos, revealed her story days later, claiming Biden touched her inappropriately back in 2009.
Alyssa sent out a series of tweets defending Biden on Monday (April 1).

I am proud to call Joe Biden a friend. He has been a leader and a champion on fighting violence against women for many years, and I have been fortunate to accompany him to events with survivors where he has listened to their stories, empathized with them, and comforted them. pic.twitter.com/cI0jsKlu3P

3. Biden started Its On Us because he believes to meaningfully change our culture, everyone – including those often left out of the conversation like college athletes and fraternity brothers – needed to be part of the movement.

5. I respect Lucy Flores' decision to share her story and agree with Biden that we all must pay attention to it. But, just as we must believe women that decide to come forward, we cannot assume all women's experiences are the same.

6. I believe that Joe Biden's intent has never been to make anyone uncomfortable, and that his kind, empathetic leadership is what our country needs. Especially now.
