See President Biden’s unsettling behavior as he gets too close for comfort with a young girl during a campaign event. President Joe Biden’s recent campaign stop in Pittsburgh took a controversial turn as a video surfaced showing him in a questionable interaction with a young girl. In the clip, Biden is seen rubbing the girl’s cheek while she awkwardly smiles, drawing attention away from his message about higher tariffs on Chinese steel manufacturers. Despite his efforts to pitch economic policies, his actions have ignited a storm of criticism online.

“The bottom line is I want fair competition with China, not conflict,” Biden said in prepared remarks. “And we’re in a stronger position to win the economic competition in the 21st century against China, or anywhere else, because we’re investing in America and American workers again.”

The president’s visit comes as part of a three-day swing through Pennsylvania, a state critical to his reelection campaign. However, his recent misstep may prove damaging to his trademark grandfatherly brand. Republicans have seized upon the opportunity to criticize Biden’s behavior, with Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and others calling him out for similar incidents in the past. “What decent parent allows this to happen?” asked one concerned individual.

Some have even likened Biden’s behavior to open sexual harassment allegations made by Tara Reade, a former staffer, who criticized the media for not taking her claims seriously. Despite Biden’s denial of such allegations, the controversy surrounding his interactions, especially with children, continues to raise eyebrows and fuel debate.

During a trade visit to Europe last year, President Biden got a little too close to a baby in Finland. As the president made his way to Air Force One, he stopped for a moment to greet a mother and her blond-haired babe, creepily blowing raspberries into the child’s back as she covered her head and drew herself away from the 80-year-old.

Others have pointed out similar instances where Biden’s behavior has raised concerns, indicating a pattern that is difficult to ignore. With the scrutiny intensifying, Biden’s ability to maintain his image as a compassionate leader faces increasing challenges. As the presidential race heats up, his interactions with the public, especially children, will likely remain under close observation.
