Former US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos says President Joe Biden sexually harassed her by pressing his forehead against hers during a conversation before he became president.
He added that it could technically be considered “sexual harassment” under the administration’s proposed rule changes in Title IX, according toNew York Post newspaper.
The Biden government’s Department of Education began reviewing Title IX in March 2021 and is still seeking public comment on the proposed changes.
DeVos continued, “I only had one meeting with Joe Biden, and that was before he decided to run for president again. I was in a wheelchair. I was backstage after talking to him. on my shoulder, his forehead on my forehead. He spoke to me for a few seconds.”
“Had Biden done so as a student on a college campus, in accordance with his proposed ruling, I would have filed a Title IX sexual harassment lawsuit for his conduct,” she said.
She stated that “Biden pressed his forehead against her forehead” for a few seconds while I was confined to a wheelchair.
DeVos did not specify when the incident occurred, but they were guest speakers at the 87th Annual Winter Meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in January 2019.
