It's easy to see why they are defending Biden, given the party's less-rigid approach to the #MeToo movement. But something else could be at play, too.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson discusses populism during the National Review Institute's Ideas Summit last week. By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow April 4 at 1:47 PM Fox News host Tucker Carlson had such a guilty conscience Wednesday night that he just had to apologize. No, not for his controversial past comments about women, Iraqis and child rape that were recently unearthed. Instead, he had to apologize to Joe Biden.
Carlson is hardly alone in defending Biden on the right. In recent days, Biden has gotten votes of confidence from other Fox News personalities, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham and even Rep. Steve King . Many of them seem to believe that Biden is being railroaded and that this represents the #MeToo movement run amok.
— Steve King April 4, 2019 To be clear, not everyone is on board. Carlson’s fellow prime-time Fox host Sean Hannity has gleefully joined in bashing Biden, calling him “creepy” no fewer than 11 times in one segment Monday night. Others on the right have spread images of Biden allegedly engaging in such “creepy” behavior with women in public.
Trump’s own history of being accused of sexual assault also has to play here. How can you attack Biden for a handful of instances that even the women involved don’t label “sexual assault,” when Trump has more than a dozen accusers alleging actual assault? There is also video of Trump talking about doing things in his interactions with women that are far, far worse than what Biden is accused of doing.
