Flores said in an essay published Friday in New York Magazine's The Cut that Biden touched her shoulders and kissed the back of her head before a Nevada campaign event in 2014.

"As I was taking deep breaths and preparing myself to make my case to the crowd, I felt two hands on my shoulders. I froze. 'Why is the vice-president of the United States touching me?'" she wrote.

"I felt him get closer to me from behind. He leaned further in and inhaled my hair. I was mortified. I thought to myself, 'I didn’t wash my hair today and the vice-president of the United States is smelling it. And also, what in the actual fuck? Why is the vice-president of the United States smelling my hair?' He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head," she added.

Biden said in a statement Sunday that he has "offered countless handshakes, hugs, expressions of affection, support and comfort" while on the campaign trail and in public life.

"And not once - never - did I believe I acted inappropriately," Biden added. "If it is suggested I did so, I will listen respectfully. But it was never my intention."
