Obama and Joe stood for VAWA and had to fight tooth and nail to get it passed. You see, the GOP was against it. They are for violence against women. They cheered it, praised it and sanctioned it with their silence and reversal of laws protecting women.
They never made their position more clear. When they voted in a self professed p***y grabber in chief. He bragged about the beauty pageants and his right to walk in to view models...young teens nude. He said on Howard Stein that it was okay for him to call his own daughter a great piece of ass and he would have dated her if she were not his daughter. At the NRC on the national stage he patted her ass. This is not how a normal man acts.
