In a two minute video released Wednesday, the former vice president sought to respond to allegations by several women that he had made them feel uncomfortable, claims which have escalated into a potential crisis for his looming presidential campaign.
Former Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday released a two minute video, in which he pledged to be"more mindful and respectful of people's personal space."
"Folks, in the coming months I'll be talking to you about a whole lot of issues, but today I want to talk about gestures of support and encouragement that I've made to women and some men that have made them uncomfortable," Biden says, staring into the camera. But, he said,"social norms have begun to change, they've shifted, and the boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset. And I get it. I get it. I hear what they're saying, I understand. And I'll be much more mindful, that's my responsibility. My responsibility, and I'll meet it .... I will be more mindful and respectful of people's personal space. And that's a good thing.
