Rocker Meredith Brooks has lashed out at Joe Biden for his touchy-feely behavior around children, declaring that people inappropriately touching children "curdles my blood."
The American singer-songwriter and guitarist, best known for her 1997 hit song "Bitch," slammed former Vice President Biden's supporters on Twitter while highlighting his past conduct.
Brooks called out Alyssa Milano’s endorsement of Biden’s presidential campaign, blasting the #MeToo movement co-founder for hypocrisy over her claims to support all victims of sexual misconduct.
The singer, who wrote her huge hit called “Bitch” about female empowerment, targeted Milano specifically.
Milano led an unsuccessful crusade against President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh based unsubstantiated claims of past sexual misconduct.
Brooks said that, as a victim of child molestation herself, seeing photos of Biden touching children made her “blood curl.”

“[Alyssa Milano] as a child victim of molestation this curdles my blood I’ve never spoken about this before but I have no choice now,” Brooks said.
She added the comments alongside a collage of Biden touching and kissing various children.
“You need to wake up,” Brooks added.
Brooks’ collage of Biden is accompanied by the caption: “Stop pretending this is normal.”

“Where are all the #MeToo supporters?” Brooks wrote in a separate tweet, in response to a New York Times report, in which the paper said they found “no pattern of sexual misconduct by Biden beyond hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.”

Milano responded to growing questions about Biden’s behavior earlier this month, where she accused his critics of weaponizing the #MeToo movement for political gain, according to Breitbart.
“There is something to the idea that people are going to weaponize #metoo for political gain,” Milano said.
“Just look at the replies here and look to see who those accounts are supporting in the primary.
"There always needs to be a thorough vetting of accusations.”

“Not good enough come on girl you have to start trusting your instincts,” Brooks responded on Thursday, calling out Milano.
“Everyone but you can see the history, pictures, videos???
"Maybe he’s not guilty but for you to endorse him without investigation Remember #BelieveWomen?”

As well as his penchant for inappropriately touching children, Biden has also faced an allegation of sexual assault.
Last month, former congressional staffer Tara Reade accused Biden of forcing her against a wall and putting his hands under her shirt and skirt and penetrating her.

Brooks is not the only critic of those defending Biden’s behavior.
Last week, actress and #MeToo activist Rose McGowan accused the mainstream media of being “hard at work covering up for Creepy Joe Biden.”
“I don’t have Covid-19, but the media in USA is making me ill,” McGowan said in response to a tweet from The Intercept’s Glenn Greenwald.
I don’t have Covid-19, but the media in USA is making me ill. The complicity machine is hard at work covering up for Creepy @joebiden. Has @nbcnews asked any hard questions? Everyone knows he’ll lose, why not go hard? Why not TELL THE TRUTH https://t.co/N1ToDtBbDn
