PUSHBACK: Ex-Defense secretary’s wife says photo of her with Biden misleading. “The scene is not dissimilar from the one Lucy Flores alleges took place at a Las Vegas rally five years ago, when she says Biden leaned in to smell her hair and plant an ‘awkward kiss’ on the back of her head. Flores was then Nevada’s Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor. . . . But in a blog post published Sunday on Medium, Carter wrote that Biden’s display of affection toward her in 2015 was appreciated, as she was ‘uncharacteristically nervous’ after slipping on some ice upon her arrival at the Pentagon earlier in the day.”
