None for you. Youre not a practical joker. We start with former Vice President joe biden responded for the first time to allegations he made a nevada politician uncomfortable when he kissed the back of her head. Biden saying it was not his intention acting inappropriately. Lucy flores said the kiss left her feeling uneasy, gross and confused.
