'Join the straight-arm club.' Pelosi suggests a different way for Biden to interact with women.
By John Wagner John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow April 2 at 9:46 AM House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday offered some advice to former vice president Joe Biden, who has been under heightened scrutiny for his intimate physical style with women: “Join the straight-arm club” and shake hands with people as if you both have colds.
Her comments came during an interview with Politico reporters in front of a live audience. Pressed about accusations from women who have said Biden made them uncomfortable, Pelosi shared that she has a very different style of interacting with people. In recent days, two women have come forward to say they were uncomfortable and offended by episodes in which the then-vice president touched them without their consent.
In a statement Monday, a former congressional aide, Amy Lappos, said she was speaking out about her own experience at a 2009 fundraiser because she was disappointed in the “ridiculously dismissive” way that Democrats, including Biden, have responded to Flores’s account.
