No photos of Biden kissing Lucy Flores

"CBS This Morning" said today that the 'official photographer' for the event (where Lucy Flores claims Biden kissed the back of her head) reviewed over 1,400 photos he took that night of everyone on stage at the time and there is no photo of Biden kissing Lucy Flores.

5. Good question. I noticed when "MeToo" really took hold we got bombarded with comparatibly minor

annoyance tales online-- when directly compared to the accounts of full-blown sexual assault, sexual harassment, and abuse. I've even seen men complaining about women merely invading their space, touching their hair or their beards, which while unacceptable, seems contrived to minimize the far more serious nature of "me too". I find this unconscionable, myself, when I have yet to meet too many men who are not fully capable of stating they'd prefer that they refrained from such contact and more to the point, few women who would not immediately recoil and not press further in contrast to power-based sexual assault/harrassment--the true subject of the "me-too" movement.

So, now we have the tool for supporters of one or another campaign to weaponize even innocent contact when merely asking the individual in question to not invade their personal space might have immediately solved the problem. But, of course, doing so would not have given any such person the opportunity to take down another candidate and to get 24/7 coverage on cable news.

I know absolutely nothing about her, but what made her bring this up now?

What is the point?

4. To discredit the other females who've been kissed/touched by him?

6. ...and, really, how would you know it was a kiss and not just a brief touch?

She can't see the back of her head. Is she over interpreting something?

7. And WAS it the back of her head? Or the top of her head?

From what I’ve seen, heard, and read, she’s claimed both.

This just smells fishy.
