Joe Biden Releases PSA About Sexual Assault, Reimagines Conversation After Attempted Rape

The correct word for sex without consent is rape. Period. #ItsOnUs to know the signs and to stop it. https://t.co/yGBRIKiHod

— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) March 28, 2017

Joe Biden is no longer VP, but he’s still heavily involved in his It’s On Us campaign.

The campaign, which he launched in 2014, was created to raise awareness about the ways bystanders and possible perpetrators can prevent rape and sexual assault. Biden has worked with Lady Gaga, Jon Hamm, Adam Devine, and the United States Olympic team, among others, on the initiative. The issue is so important to him, in fact, that when now-President Donald Trump was exposed as having encouraged another man to grab women “by the pussy” in 2005, Biden called it out as clear sexual assault.

That is the theme of his latest video, too: Calling out what seems like ambiguous language and labeling it as clear sexual assault. He tweeted it out two days ago and it’s already amassed hundreds of thousands of views.

Watch above to see a texting conversation get autocorrected to show the reality of what almost happened to the intoxicated woman two men are texting about.
