Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) says she believes that former Vice President Joe Biden did not sexually assault a staffer in 1993.
During an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Whitmer was asked, “Why do you believe Biden and not ?”
“As a survivor and as a feminist I’ll say this, we need to give people an opportunity to tell their story and then we have a duty to vet it,” she said, adding, “And just because you’re a survivor doesn’t mean that every claim is equal.”
“I have read a lot about this current allegation, I know Joe Biden and I’ve watched his defense, and there’s not a pattern that goes into this. And I think that for these reasons, I’m very comfortable that Joe Biden is who he says he is,” Whitmer added.
Finally, she said about the allegation, “I don’t believe that it’s consistent with the Joe Biden I know, and I do believe Joe, and I support Joe Biden.”
