Joe Biden just hired an aide who says that any candidate accused of sexual misconduct shouldn't run

The Biden campaign just hired Karine Jean-Pierre as a senior advisor.  In 2018 Ms Jean-Pierre said:

“I think we're at a point in time in this country where the '#MeToo' movement has really gotten some traction, we’re finally listening to victims, whether they’re women or men," Jean-Pierre told CNN's Jake Tapper in December 2017, when asked if #MeToo had gone too far. "And I think if you’re running for office, you can’t have been accused of sexual harassment or assault. And I think that we really have to take that next step here and make sure that doesn't happen with anyone in office or out of office."

Her comments were in the context of Andrea Ramsey who was a former Congressional candidate in Kansas who dropped out because she was accused of sexual harassment by a man.

To be fair Ramsey was a Democrat so Ms. Jean-Pierre can't be accused of having a double standard for Democrat candidates in general only for Joe Biden.

Because we all know that Biden has been accused not only of sexual misconduct, by 8 women, but of sexual assault.

True some of the Democrat women whose private space he violated are saying it's not sexual harassment but if a woman's boss came up put his hands on her shoulders and sniffed her hair no HR department in the world would classify that as anything other than sexual harassment.
