Video footage of the incident quickly circulated on Twitter and other social media, triggering a wave of criticism towards the president, as this is not the first time Biden has acted inappropriately around young girls.
Twitter users expressed their discomfort and disapproval of Biden’s peculiar conduct, with some labeling it as his “creepiest moment yet with a child.”
Conservative operative Caleb Hull questioned why Biden would engage in such behavior, while Republican operative Greg Price sarcastically remarked that Biden now confuses babies with ice cream cones.
Donald Trump Jr., in response to the footage, suggested that Biden should be in a nursing home rather than leading the free world. Political comedian Tim Young described Biden’s actions as “peak, disgusting pedo behavior,” cautioning people to keep their children away from the president.
