Alyssa Milano on Monday stood up for her “friend” Vice President Joe Biden, saying she believes he never meant to make anyone feel uneasy and that his “leadership is what our country needs” right now.
The actress’s remarks come as Biden has been accused by two women of acting inappropriately toward them.
Milano posted a string of tweets about the former world leader and possible 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, saying that “he has been a leader and a champion on fighting violence against women for many years.”
“That's who Joe Biden is - a warm, generous individual who believes its on all of us to pay attention to women's stories and experiences,” she wrote.
I am proud to call Joe Biden a friend. He has been a leader and a champion on fighting violence against women for many years, and I have been fortunate to accompany him to events with survivors where he has listened to their stories, empathized with them, and comforted them. pic.twitter.com/cI0jsKlu3P
