Vice President Joe Biden took a swipe at Donald Trump on Thursday with a snarky remark as he arrived at a Hillary Clinton campaign office in the Las Vegas valley.

“She asked for the hug,” Biden quipped as he embraced a supporter sitting in the front row while he was being introduced, according to a pool report.


The remark was clearly taking aim at Trump, who was accused by multiple women on Wednesday of touching them without their consent. Trump is denying the allegations.

“These vicious claims about me of inappropriate conduct with women are totally and absolutely false,” the Republican nominee said on Thursday at a rally in West Palm Beach, Florida. “And the Clintons know it, and they know it very well. These claims are all fabricated. They’re pure fiction, and they’re outright lies. These events never, ever happened and the people that said them meekly, fully understand.”

In Las Vegas, Biden also repeated his charge that Trump's recent comments in a leaked 2005 video — where he boasted about grabbing women's genitals and kissing women without invitation — meet "the textbook definition of sexual assault."
