More and more women have been coming forward over the past few weeks and accusing former Vice President Joe Biden of inappropriate touching, kissing, and hair-sniffing (of all things).

Frankly, this isn’t really the most disturbing bit of information about the former VP.

The problem comes after a tragic incident. When Joe Biden was 29 years old, his wife and daughter were killed in a car accident.

Mrs. Biden has pulled out into a busy intersection and was t-boned by an oncoming truck driven by Curtis Dunn.

After a careful investigation, Dunn was not found to be blamed for the tragic accident. But here’s where things get disturbing.

In an article published by the National Review,

But embellished they became. When exactly, we don’t know. Why? That’s a question the answer to which is unfathomable — or if for political purposes, utterly deplorable. For some reason, the evidence shows, in the early 2000s, Joe Biden began to remark in public that his wife had died at the hands of someone who “allegedly . . . drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch.” That Curtis Dunn “was an errant driver who stopped to drink.” That drunk-driver story spread into news accounts. The Dunn family, who had strong sympathy for Biden, was shocked by the sullying of their now-dead father. They wrote the senator and asked him to stop and reminded him of the exonerating investigation. When that didn’t happen, they went public. Per a 2010 Biden profile in The Atlantic:

For many years, he described the driver of the truck that struck and killed his first wife and their daughter in December 1972 as drunk, which he apparently was not. The tale could hardly be more tragic; why add in a baseless charge? The family of the truck driver has labored to correct the record, but Biden made the reference to drunkenness as recently as 2007, needlessly resurrecting a false and painful accusation.

What’s really disturbing to me is that Joe Biden is actually the Democrat who doesn’t seem the craziest right now. How crazy is that?
