The women of The View have largely spoken out vouching for former Vice President Joe Biden, amid allegations of inappropriate contact lodged by multiple women during his time in office.

Whoopi Goldberg, Meghan McCain and Joy Behar defended Biden on Monday's airing of the daytime talk show, while Abby Huntsman questioned the motives of women speaking out across the #MeToo movement, in general.

Sunny Hostin was the only woman to bring up the power dynamic at play with a political figure such as Biden, but called his responses to allegations 'appropriate,' adding, 'I don’t know if we’ll see any more smelling of hair and kisses.'

That bothered Goldberg, who then said, 'That p****s me off. I’m telling you… I don’t want Joe to stop doing that.'

From Biden's perspective, he spoke of 'countless handshakes, hugs, expressions of affection, support and comfort' that he's provided as a friend and public servant over the years, in a statement on Sunday.

'Not once - never - did I believe I acted inappropriately,' he said. 'If it is suggested I did so, I will listen respectfully. But it was never my intention.'

A former Nevada politician first raised the issue of Biden's intimate gestures toward women when he was in the White House.

Lucy Flores said he made her feel uncomfortable when he kissed her on the head and put his hands on her shoulder before she went on stage at a campaign event.

'I felt two hands on my shoulders. I froze. Why is the vice-president of the United States touching me?' Flores 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 f**k?"

She said, 'He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head. My brain couldn't process what was happening. I was embarrassed. I was shocked. I was confused.'

Biden is now also accused of touching another woman, in 2009, without her consent in a way that made her feel uncomfortable.

A Greenwich, Connecticut woman said the alleged incident occurred at a fundraiser for Democratic Congressman Jim Himes.

'It wasn't sexual, but he did grab me by the head,' Amy Lappos, 43, told The Hartford Courant. 'He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth.'

On The View, McCain agreed with Goldberg that she didn't want Biden to stop his 'smelling of hair and kisses.'

McCain likened what Behar called Biden's 'affectionate' way of being to that of her father, the late Senator John McCain.

'There’s a certain kind of retail politician that loves people,' the lawmaker's daughter said.

'I would put Bill Clinton in that category and my father in that category, and certainly, I would put Joe Biden in that category. He’s the only politician other my father to go into the crowd and shake everyone’s hands. That means something when you are in Iowa.'

McCain went on to differentiate what Flores alleged occurred with the kind of sexual misconduct Roger Ailes has been accused of.

'I agree women should be heard,' McCain said. 'I worked at Fox News during the Roger Ailes time. There is a very big difference between things like that and things like this.'

Joy Behar (left) echoed those sentiments, saying, 'It’s a long way from smelling your hair to grabbing your hoo-ha. Let’s tell the truth. But she felt annoyed or uncomfortable, and we have to accept that. I don’t think it rises to the point we’ve been listening to like Harvey Weinstein and the rest of these people. It just doesn’t look like that'

Behar echoed those sentiments, saying, 'It’s a long way from smelling your hair to grabbing your hoo-ha. Let’s tell the truth. But she felt annoyed or uncomfortable, and we have to accept that. I don’t think it rises to the point we’ve been listening to like Harvey Weinstein and the rest of these people. It just doesn’t look like that.'

Behar then described her own interactions with Biden.

'We all know Joe Biden. He’s been here. When I met him in Florida before he was vice president, he’s so friendly. He’s a close talker. He comes right up into your face, and you’re thinking, "I hope my breath is good." Or more important, "I hope his is,"' she said.

'He talks close, he touches. That’s what he’s like. I feel it would be unfortunate if we got rid of everybody who’s an affectionate kind of person. Those are nice people too.'

Goldberg said that she'd like to see women speaking up in the moment when something is amiss.

'Listen, in the old days we would call Joe—some folks of a certain age would say he’s overly familiar,' Goldberg said.

'Most politicians when they’re doing this with you, they are—Joe is a hands-on kind of guy. I’ve never heard anyone—she [Flores] says she felt violated. I have to take her at her word. But it would have been nice if she turned to him and say, "You know what, I don’t really like this. Please don’t do this, Mr. Vice President. I’m not comfortable with this." Something, because he’s standing right there.'

Goldberg drove that point home again a moment later, saying, 'I want women to get to the place where they can say, "Hey, you just made me uncomfortable,"'

She added: 'This idea that you have to tiptoe away from this, or you have to carry it. You do not have to carry it. If someone makes you uncomfortable, tell them.'

In reference to Flores' allegations against Biden, Goldberg directed her comments at the former Nevada Lt. Governor candidate, saying, 'He came down to do you a favor. He was at your fundraiser. You had every right to say "Don’t do that Joe."'

Flores does not allege that Biden sexually assaulted her. She told CNN that she merely wants to bring attention to what she sees as a whitewashing of Biden's contact with women.

She said: 'Part of the reason why I finally decided to say something was those behaviors were not being taken very seriously. They were not being considered from the perspective of the woman on the other side of that power dynamic, on the receiving end.'

Hostin made this point on The View on Monday, saying: 'I’m sort of in the middle on this in the sense, I do believe with this particular situation there was a power dynamic. You’re talking about the vice president of the United States. She [Flores] was running for lieutenant governor. She may not have wanted to offend him.

'A lot of women get put in that kind of situation where they’re offended, and they’re uncomfortable, but they may not say anything. That’s one thing.'

In response to Flores' allegations, Biden said he may not 'recall these moments the same way' that the women do.

'But we have arrived at an important time when women feel they can and should relate their experiences, and men should pay attention. And I will. I will also remain the strongest advocate I can be for the rights of women,' he said. 'I will fight to build on the work I've done in my career to end violence against women and ensure women are treated with the equality they deserve.'

On the View, Hostin gave Biden credit for the way he reacted to the claim, after spokespeople first denied any inkling that Flores may have been bothered by Biden's actions.

'I think that is the appropriate response,' Hostin said. 'Perhaps he didn’t intend to make her uncomfortable, but she’s saying, "You did make me uncomfortable."'

Flores says she had no prior relationship with Biden, who campaigned for her in 2014, that would make it appropriate for him to kiss her head and touch her shoulders the way he did.

'You don't expect that kind of intimate behavior from someone so powerful and someone who you just have no relationship whatsoever to, to touch you and feel you and be so close to you in that way,' she said.

Biden said he offered 'countless handshakes, hugs, expressions of affection, support and comfort' that may have been photographed — all of them innocent in nature.

On Monday's airing of The View, Abby Huntsman (right) said, 'I always wonder when these things come out, what is the motive for this person? Is it simply to let people know, I was uncomfortable, which you could have done in private? Or is it because you want someone else to win and you want him to have doubts about announcing or the presidency?' Huntsman didn't confined her comments to Biden and his potential bid for the 2020 president

Or is it because you want someone else to win and you want him to have doubts about announcing or the presidency?'

Huntsman didn't confined her comments to Biden and his potential bid for the 2020 president.

'I’ve had concerns about the #MeToo movement from the beginning about getting to this place where you can’t have normal interactions with each other,' she added, before turning her comments back to allegations brought by Flores against Biden.

'This was uncomfortable, and that’s her place. Are we going to get to a place where we can’t shake hands or hug each other? I worry about that.'

Before the conversation was over, Goldberg, McCain and Behar had vouched for Biden.

'Joe Biden is a good and decent man,' McCain said. 'I vouch for his character and in my personal experience.'

Goldberg agreed, saying, 'I’m doing the same.'

'Me too,' Behar added.
