Joe Biden has been slammed for ‘creepy’ remarks he made about a young girl during a speech at a Virginia military base on Friday.
The Commander-in-chief, 78, went off-script to point out the ‘elementary school- aged’ girl as he delivered an address at Joint Base Langley-Eustis ahead of Memorial Day.
‘I love those barrettes in your hair, man,’ the President said to the girl, who was sitting at the side of the stage
‘I tell you what, look at her, she looks like she’s 19 years old, sitting there like a little lady with her legs crossed,’ Biden bizarrely continued.
The girl’s mother had reportedly introduced Biden to the stage prior to his speech. Her full name and aged have not been publicly released.
Footage of Biden’s odd remarks was shared to The Post Millennial’s Twitter page, with many users perturbed by what they heard.
‘Your president people… there is a reason they don’t let him talk in front of cameras often..’ one stated.
A second person chimed in: ‘This would be front page news on the New York Times and the lead story on CNN for two weeks if Trump did this. And no, this isn’t whataboutism,’ one person remarked.
Another defended Biden, but did concede that there was media bias.
‘He’s socially awkward. He says it like he’s trying to be sweet. Innocent in his head meanwhile everyone else is like ‘Uhhh what??” the person wrote on Twitter.
‘[But I] Gotta agree with some comments here. If Trump said it then it would have been front page news. That’s how biased our news outlets are.’
The President’s press team have not addressed the remark.
Biden has a history of making eyebrow-raising remarks about girls and women.
Last year, during an event in Florida, Biden told a group of underage female dancers: ‘I’m coming back and I want to see these beautiful young ladies, I want to see them dancing when they are four years older too!’
In 2019, he told a 10-year-old girl: ‘I’ll bet you’re as bright as you are good-looking.’
He has also been photographed over the years kissing and touching young girls and women during public events.
