Well as long as Joe has a number of aides and staffers to take responsibility for the lies so we can say its not Joe's fault. The buck stops with them. And shortly following Joe's complete and total denial that a complaint existed and
nothing ever happened, his campaign started distributing talking points directly lying about the NYT investigation and claiming they disproved the allegation. Another lie. Was that also done without Joe's knowledge, on his behalf by a rogue aide? It took like 2 days between Joe acknowledging this scandal and the friendly NYT publicly calling him out for lying in his response.
We're swiftly returning to the blind idiot god routine of Hillary Clinton's campaign, where her surrogates denied any of her involvement in the scandals and dirty tricks and tried to have her act clueless about things she clearly knew about. "Like with a cloth?" Except the difference is that Hillary Clinton could go in front on a camera for 10 minutes and stick to a soulless politispeak script, whereas Joe will self destruct in a sputtering mess that rambles incoherently, threatens to beat someone up for no damn reason and then forgets he pledged to stop groping women on camera.
Joe's response was an unreasonably long silence followed by one lie about the facts and one lie about the spin, followed by a bad faith and hypocritical demand for documents he knew can't be released while refusing to release his own. What niceities and focus group approved PC sophistry they used to fluff up his press release scripts are belied by Joe's meltdown whenever he's asked about it live.
