House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told reporters she didn't believe the inappropriate touching allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden disqualified him from being president. “No. No, I do not,” Pelosi told reporters when asked whether the allegations would disqualify Biden if he ran in 2020. “I don’t think that this disqualifies him from being president... Not at all.” She reportedly declined to say whether the two accusers who have come forward would damage his potential run. Earlier Monday, a former congressional aide claimed Biden attempted to rub noses with her at a 2009 political fundraiser, and former Nevada legislator Lucy Flores claimed the former VP kissed the back of her head at an event. Biden has since denied intentionally touching anyone in an inappropriate manner.
