Vice President Joe Biden conceded Tuesday that he made an unpresidential remark while unveiling the results of a White House task force which investigated sexual assault on campuses.
Biden reportedly said that when he was growing up, "If a man raised his hand to a woman, you had the job to kick the living crap out of him if he did it."

Biden was unveiling a report issued by a White House task force on sexual assaults, which recommended schools conduct campus climate surveys to better understand how prevalent sexual assault is on their campus. The report also provided a wide range of other suggestions, including recommending schools provide victims with someone to talk to following sexual assault.
