Lucy Flores Coming up on MSNBC 10:05 est

[oasis]

[oasis]

1. Nothing new so far.

[SummerSnow]

2. she says she felt invaded, not sexually harassed. I don't get this.

[oasis]

4. Why the hell did she not tell Joe when it happened?

[SummerSnow]

7. good question. her timing is questionable.

[brooklynite]

68. Just spitballing here...

1. He's the Vice President
2. He's there to help your campaign
3. A hundred other people want to get his attention

[oasis]

3. Flores faults the media for not bringing up Joe's multiple acts of

"inappropriate behavior" in the past.

[Tipperary]

6. She sounds desperate now. Her voice is up a few octaves and she is trying to get out of it.

This is backfiring on her big time.

[oasis]

9. I'm puzzled why Flores would suddenly trot out the Anita Hill situation.

No, I'm really not really puzzled about any of this "stuff".

[emulatorloo]

17. ...

[oasis]

20. Joe is forced to defend himself from "Democrats" before he tackles Trump.

double the work and resources.

[Tipperary]

43. She brought up Ash Carter's wife too, who has no problem with Biden.

She is desperate. I even heard her say this morning, “You have no idea how I’m being attacked.” Well, wah.

[oasis]

46. Bernie's people should reach out to her in her hour of need.

A show of Bernie's compassion would surely boost his poll numbers.

[Tipperary]

51. Lol. Yes.

[namahage]

62. Elizabeth Warren stands with Lucy.

Julian Castro stands with Lucy.
Amy Klobuchar says she sees no reason not to stand with Lucy.

Even Joe Biden stands with Lucy:

"I may not recall these moments the same way, and I may be surprised at what I hear. But we have arrived at an important time when women feel they can and should relate their experiences, and men should pay attention. And I will."

But Bernie? To quote a fan...”cue the crickets...chirp, chirp!”

[delisen]

57. Hope she is tougher in representing her constituents

and she he may well be, which is why I was puzzled about Flores-who has apparently overcome much in her life-seeming so sensitive this issue.

What does she do when campaigning if the crowd moves too close ?

But whatever, people are going to hug and touch for the endorphins. Of course if we have a major plague, we will all start wearing face masks and avoid touching.........until the plague subsides.

[oasis]

5. Flores doesn't believe Joe should run. Surprise, surprise.

[peggysue2]

12. As soon as Flores said that . . .

I thought: there we go. This is really what it's about.

Joe Biden responded graciously and to the point. Joe Biden is running. Deal with it!

Surprise, surprise, indeed.

[oasis]

25. Joe should definitely run now. He can't let this be the issue

on which he ends his political career.

[peggysue2]

42. I agree, oasis

Sooner rather than later because these attacks are going to ramp up. When Biden officially announces that closes down the 'we'll discourage and taint Biden's entrance to the race.'

That being said, the attacks will be incoming because Joe Biden is an enormous threat to the Left & Right. Once he's in, his campaign staff will be able to coordinate an instant response process, plant the flag and basically say:

We're ready. Take your best shot.

[Cha]

53. Ikr.. Biden "invaded her

personal space" allegedly... so he shouldn't run for POTUS.

What?!!

[Cha]

13. Her opinion on

whether Biden should run or not counts less than zero.

Thanks for the report from tv, oasis.

[oasis]

18. No worries, Joe will survive this. It doesn't take a genius to

figure out the agenda involved in this.

You're welcome Cha.

[Cha]

22. I totally agree.. it just pisses me off.. to

see the RF in action.

You'll see this on your thread but I snagged it from Kingofalldems 'cause Rick Wilson speaks for a lot of us. I'm thinking

[Tipperary]

54. Thanks for posting this.

She did seem prepped in that interview. She seems to be backing up as fast as she can now.

[Cha]

55. Walking back? HOw so, please? I read she

said that Joe Biden shouldn't run for POTUS.

Evidently because he "invaded her personal space" allegedly.

[Tipperary]

56. Yes, I saw her say that too. But she was on the defensive, complaining she was being attacked.

I think she realizes that she has stepped in it, big time.

When she said Biden should not run, it was crystal clear what this whole “personal space invasion” was all about.

[Cha]

58. Unreal!

She's "being attacked".. where? On twitter? Like she attacked Hillary in 2017.. after the GE?

Thanks, Tipperary.. I appreciate your synopsis from tv land.

Here's a sweet tweet from Fred Guttenberg on Joe Biden..

[Tipperary]

64. She has screwed up in a major way imo.

Sanders won’t stand behind her, I would bet dollars to donuts (no pun intended.)

[emulatorloo]

16. Thanks for the report

[Cha]

23. ..

[emulatorloo]

28. "Prepped AF for that interview"

Interesting insight

[Me.]

49. LOve The Wilson Tweet

He nails her

[Cha]

52. Yeah, RW really calls her out! Here's a sweet one

from Fred Guttenberg..

Link to tweet

[cornball 24]

24. For me, that was the tipping point. If she was so distressed, why didn't she speak out five

years ago! Run Joe, run!!

[samnsara]

8. well they screwed Hillary so I guess msnbc doesnt mind trump another 4 years...

[oasis]

11. Hallie Jackson opened her hour with this "stuff". nt

[BeyondGeography]

10. IOW she overreached

Hooray, Lucy.

Her personal political space was being invaded by Biden’s front runner status and looming candidacy. The End.

[oasis]

14. She could have saved him by mentioning it to him in 2014.

Now she thinks he shouldn't run.

[Kingofalldems]

15. ....

[Cha]

19. Thanks, Kingofalldems!

That's the way a lot of us are looking at this mess.

Hope it BACKFIRES!

[Cetacea]

30. And this...

[Cha]

36. And, another..

[BannonsLiver]

65. Makes you wonder what THEY have in store for other Dem candidates

By them I mean Russia, the extreme far left and whoever is in charge of oppo research for the junior senator from vermont’s campaign.

[oasis]

33. Apparently, friendly "Space Invaders" are given a pass. nt

[Kentonio]

41. So if you hug a friend, that must mean anyone can hug you right?

[ahoysrcsm]

70. She is friendly here

Or is this an inconvenient fact for you.

[katmondoo]

21. At this point in time---who cares

[oasis]

26. We have to identify those who are with us, and those who are not.

[oasis]

34. EXPOSED!

Thank you for the info, and welcome to DU.

[defacto7]

29. It's all tabloid BS

[oasis]

40. Interesting label.

[Guilded Lilly]

31. Her time is up. She's done a disservice to genuine victims of #MeToo and...

with every new “explanatory” interview, magnified her political hypocrisy.

[oasis]

38. Flores took the opportunity to slam Biden over his Anita Hill "history".

As if that had anything to do with her particular situation.

[awesomerwb1]

32. You guys seem surprised.

There are some factions on "our" side who will do almost anything to try to help their candidate because time's running out.

I'm with Joe on this one.

[Cha]

35. I'm not.. just really

pissed.

[oasis]

37. If this was meant to torpedo Joe's chances, it failed. nt

[awesomerwb1]

39. I agree.

[peggysue2]

44. No, not surprised

Just weary of the same old, same old.

I'm with Cha: pissed at the nature of the accusation. But I also realize that this underscores the threat that Biden poses to others in the race to 2020.

I, too, stand with Joe on this one.

[Cha]

50. Fred Guttenberg does, too..

[Trenzalore]

45. Bernie supporter trying to do a hit job on the Vice President

[oasis]

47. And doing a clumsy job off it in spectacular fashion.

[Cha]

48. How sweet.. Fred Guttenberg speaks about Joe Biden..

Link to tweet

[oasis]

59. Joe is a decent guy. We all know it and respect him.

Hit jobs ain't taking hold.

[Cha]

60. Karma, Lucy.. it's

a thing.

[Satch59]

61. Loved Rick Wilson's tweet...

Looking like this is starting to fizzle out and if Bernie's group is behind this, then THAT needs it be yelled out..

Just wish that Al Franken had not succumbed to the pressure...could he run again some day?

[Cha]

63. What's this, Lucy?

[MFM008]

66. MALARKEY!!!

Thats what this crap is.

[oasis]

67. That's exactly the word Joe Biden would use in this situation.

[MFM008]

69. Yup

Thats why i did it.
