Biden needs to stop this shit. It's not hard to do so.
In a somewhat odd moment at tonight's AFT town hall, Biden tells a 10-year-old girl, “I’ll bet you’re as bright as you are good-looking." He takes her over to the assembled reporters, then stands behind her and puts his hands on her shoulders while he's talking.

2. Yes, and he did that to laughter and applause from the audience, as the video shows.
The audience was eating it up.

8. It was a sweet compliment that the audience there had a normal, healthy, reasonable reaction to.
Not creepy at all. Not a smidgen of creepiness.

4. What shit does he have to stop being kind to a girl who's smart?
That's just his way of being kind. So what if he stands behind her with his hands on her shoulders and sniffs her hair?

7. It's Joe Biden, who has NEVER been accused of being anything other than Joe Biden....
....(except for that Lucy Flores woman). You get what you see, like it or not.
Can't we stop this crap, NOW?

27. As a former 10-year-old girl, I see nothing at all wrong with it. Neither did the audience.
The American Federation of Teachers audience.

22. Seriously?
This is what we're supposed to get outraged over?
There are children currently locked in cages, who are traumatized - and who don't even know if they'll ever be freed, or reunited with their parents. Some of them have died in custody.
I'm sure they'd love being told they're smart and good-looking, and receive a warm embrace from someone.
Jesus Hussein Christ.
Shut up, you're drunk.
