Disturbing Biden Video Resurfaces: What’s He Doing Holding Hands with These 2 Children?

Given that President Joe Biden has an awkward history of preternatural closeness with children, one of the things you’d think he’d be conscious about was never being recorded walking into the Oval Office with a kid holding each of his hands.

But this is Joe Biden and he’s barely conscious, much less conscious of how that looks. Thus, you may have seen yet another clip of the president with two kids making the rounds on social media over the past few days:

• The video begins with a girl asking Biden about his last trip to Poland. Biden, who doesn’t seem to understand what she’s saying, says, “Why don’t you come over to the Oval Office and ask me?”
• Then someone behind the camera seems to ask if another boy can join him. They do, and the troika can be seen walking into the Oval Office.

“All of the idiots that ignore and/or downplay these things are enabling this behavior. Parents, for the love of God… please keep your young children away from the Big Guy,” a user named “Gain of Fauci” said in a Friday tweet. Another user called it “serious and disturbing.”

Is it? Well, let’s get a little bit of context here. A bit of digging found that this clip isn’t exactly new. In fact, it dates from April — specifically from a White House Take Your Child to Work Day event, a day where pretty much everyone at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. had a reason to be around children.

This is weird as shit, even for Joe Biden…

The clip was originally posted by Marek Wałkuski, a White House correspondent for state broadcaster Polish Radio. He seemed to impute no untoward implications to Biden’s encounter with the children:

“After a surprising invitation to the Oval Office by @‌POTUS Nina is delighted. Biden not only showed photos of his family and talked about his work, but even allowed him to sit at the president’s desk and offered cookies.”

While it’s unclear who was with the children in the Oval Office or who requested permission for the boy to go in, it’s worth noting that Wałkuski has a daughter named Nina as well as a son. As for who was filming the video and whether they were aware of the, ahem, subtext some people might attach to it, it’s entirely unclear.

However, the footage is emblematic of a wider pattern Biden has, which is why we’re even talking about the unpleasant subtext in the first place; one of the first scandals his 2020 presidential campaign had to tackle was an allegation from a Democratic official that he had seriously violated her personal space during an event in Nevada while he was vice president. In response to that allegation — as well as other uncomfortable pictures that had accumulated over the years — the then-candidate released a non-apology apology in which he promised to be more respectful of other people’s privacy and get with the times:

“You know, social norms have begun to change,” Biden said in the video. “They’ve shifted, and the boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset, and I get it. I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. That’s my responsibility and I will meet it.”

As former VP, Biden had a habit of smelling the hair of women and (particularly) little girls. In this clip, he fixes the hair of a little girl, conveniently placing his hands near her chest area. Her and the other young girl beside her clearly seem uncomfortable by it all. pic.twitter.com/fpER7WB604

Joe Biden’s Creepy Behavior Continues to Raise Concerns

Joe Biden’s inappropriate behavior towards women and children has been a topic of discussion for years, yet he still doesn’t seem to understand the gravity of his actions. From touching women’s shoulders and not letting go for 45 seconds to smelling their hair and whispering in their ears, Biden’s behavior is unsettling and creepy.

Examples of Biden’s Creepy Behavior:

• Touching a young woman and not letting go for 45 seconds
• Smelling a woman’s hair and whispering in her ear
• Asking to take a photo alone with a senator’s daughter
• Referring to a child as “baby” and inviting her to hang out with him

These incidents are not isolated, and they raise serious concerns about Biden’s ability to respect personal boundaries. It’s especially troubling that he continues to exhibit this behavior even after being called out for it.

It’s time for Biden to take responsibility for his actions and understand that his behavior is not acceptable. As a leader and a public figure, he should be setting an example for others to follow, not engaging in creepy and inappropriate behavior.
