'STRONGEST ADVOCATE'
Cynthia Hogan, a former staffer for Biden in the Senate and as vice-president, said in a statement that Biden looked out for women and"treated us with respect and insisted that others do the same." "All of us should take such allegations seriously and with respect. I took Joe Biden's statement to say just that exactly," Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois said on NBC's"Meet the Press.""Certainly one allegation is not disqualifying, but it should be taken seriously."
And Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, another 2020 contender, also said he has"no reason not to believe Lucy" in an interview on CBS's"Face the Nation". Asked if the allegation was"disqualifying" to Mr Biden, Mr Sanders said"I think that's a decision for the vice-president to make" and"I'm not sure that one incident alone disqualifies anybody".
