Former Vice President Joe Biden continues to make a punchline out of allegations that he has a history of inappropriately touching women and invading their personal space.

I want the press to know, she pulled me close, the 2020 presidential candidate said Tuesday at a town hall event in Berlin, New Hampshire, referring to a woman at the event who whispered something in his ear after he handed her a chair.

The crowd laughed and applauded in response.

Earlier this year, multiple women alleged that Biden had inappropriately touched or kissed them and invaded their personal space during public events.

Biden defended his behavior as part of his style of campaigning. While pledging to learn from his conduct, he stopped short of issuing a formal apology on several occasions .

One of those times was at a union event on the eve of his campaign launch in April, when he twice joked about the accusations .
