Was that he was going to force a woman to kiss him, on a stage in New England with TV cameras, his wife, and a thousand audience members watching. This assumption was based on two things: her intuition and the fact that his lips were wet.

She knew that because he kissed her on the cheek.

So that’s the entire allegation: after her portion of the awards ceremony, after he thanked her, he kissed her cheek. That’s literally ALL there is to this allegation.

And yet we’re not supposed to ask questions? I’m not even doubting the accusation — because there was literally no accusation made, in this instance, of anything even remotely approaching inappropriate behavior.
