Lucy Flores, the Bad Neighbor

If your dog is barking at night, a good neighbor will come over to complain before calling the police. Not Lucy Flores, she would have the riot squad breaking down your door, and a sniper taking out your dog.

In 2014 Ms. Flores was running for Lieutenant Governor of Nevada.  At her request, Joe Biden went to Nevada to endorse her candidacy.  As she was about to go on stage she alleges, that he grabbed her shoulders, and kissed the top or back of her head.  She admits it was not sexual, but says intentions don't matter.  It made her uncomfortable.

As a strong empowered woman running for constitution office, she could have told Biden to stop.  If not, as a fellow member of the party, she could have written or called Biden to express her feelings.  She could have been the good neighbor.  But instead she has waited nearly 5 years, until he was about to announce his candidacy.  Nor did she have the courtesy to complain privately, but instead sought the public spotlight in an attempt to bring the wrath of the "Me Too" movement down upon Joe.

For the Me Too Movement to maintain its moral authority it must separated the serious from the spurious.
