Video: Audience Roars at Trump's Biden 'Kissing' Joke
Allegations surrounding former Vice President Joe Biden might be roiling he early stages of the Democratic primary race for 2020, but that didn’t stop President Donald Trump from using it to draw a big laugh this week from a roomful of Republican loyalists.
Speaking at the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner Tuesday in Washington, Trump told the story of a general who helped defeat ISIS.
“I said, ‘General, come here, give me a kiss.’ I felt like Joe Biden,” Trump joked. “But I meant it.”
Trump’s joke resulted in a roar from the audience.

Trump’s joke is in reference, of course, to the recent allegations of creepy conduct against Biden.
The first woman to come out against Biden was Lucy Flores, a former Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor in Nevada, who detailed her allegation against Biden in a column for New York magazine’s The Cut on Friday.
Flores accused Biden of sniffing her hair and kissing the back of her head without her consent during a campaign event in 2014.
On Monday, former Democratic congressional aide Amy Lappos said that Biden put his hand around her neck and pulled her toward him to rub noses.
And in a piece published on Tuesday, The New York Times included the stories of two more women who said Biden had touched them in ways that made them feel uncomfortable.

It’s important to keep in mind that Biden isn’t being accused of sexual assault and he hasn’t been found guilty of any crimes. (Sexual crimes are no laughing matter.)
There’s no way of knowing what Biden’s intentions were with these women, but the left doesn’t generally apply nuance when it comes to issues of misconduct allegations — at least when it comes to men they’re politically motivated to destroy, like now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
If the left were consistent, the “MeToo” movement and insistence of unconditionally believing women should apply to Biden.
Let’s not forget that Trump was accused of kissing women without their consent after the “Access Hollywood” tapes came out in 2016.
If liberals were quick to attack Trump over what he called “locker room talk,” they should be extremely hard on Biden, especially when there is video evidence of Biden behaving exactly how his accusers described.
Again, it’s completely possible that Biden is innocent of bad intentions, even if the number of accusers is growing. But regardless, the far left’s rigid “believe women” dogma will ultimately harm the Democratic politician.
As Trump said on Tuesday, Biden is “being taken care of pretty well by the socialists. They got to him, our former vice president.”
“I was going to call him. I don’t know him well. I was going to say, ‘Welcome to the world, Joe. You having a good time, Joe?'”

The dominoes have fallen — the far left’s witch hunt for sexual predators has finally backfired.
Trump has the right idea by sitting back and cracking a few jokes at the left’s expense.
