A video of swearing in of Senators. One who are these people taking pictures with Biden? Are they friends and family? Are they strangers? My guess would be no. So if they're friends and family then one would expect affection to exist ya think? I watched our friends precious 5 year old on my husbands lap yesterday and it made me smile. I guess you could twist that into an agenda if you want to take it out of context and make it something it's not.
I agree.
Especially if this was a Video of Senators being sworn in. (& being the VP, Biden would have been the president of the Senate) Plus he was a freaking Senator for like 30 years. He probably knows most of these people & some of their kids already. (I might be proven wrong, but I believe that Joe is a gentleman to woman & kids. Yes he's too touchy....but I bet he's OK).
That being said, Uncle Joe needs to dial it back.
Having a son and a daughter, I was a coach for 9-10 teams over the past two Decades. When recent & old Teammates greet me these days, I don't do hugs anymore. Now I do nothing but Fist Bumps with a smile (for guys and girls). It actually works just as well as hugs.
I have to rescind my message in stating it's creepy. In doing some research on the photo I learned that's his niece - his sister's daughter - so there's nothing creepy about it.
In that case, you have NOTHING. So he likes kids? So what? The more I think about what I saw in the video, the more of a nothingburger I consider it. It's part of the War on Men to make something like being a touching person, something women do all the time, into PEDOPHILIA. Or SEXUAL PREDATION. Give me a break. If a woman was being touchy like that with the kids nobody would think a thing of it.
You honestly sound like how a pedephile would defend his/her behavior. Like Mike Jackson and jerry Sandusky. That's the type of stuff they would say.
I think he was probably trying to appear overly affectionate and warm around children so he looks warm and friendly, like a skinny Santa, for the cameras.
I suppose, as unlikely assumptions go, your belief that he's a pedophile isn't the worst I've seen. It's better than the people who believe George Bush is a lizard person anyway. It might even be correct. Do you have a good reason to believe he's a pedophile though, based on the video? No you definitely do not. If you ever serve on a jury, please consider things more carefully than you have here, in order to avoid unfortunate events such as innocent pedestrians being convicted of murder, and things of that sort.

Not only that but engaging the children means he doesn't converse with the adults, which means his feet stay planted on the floor instead of one of them being put in his mouth.
Outrage over what? Touching young girls hair and faces? He said he has granddaughters. I think he's comfortable around little girls and probably engages the kids so he doesn't get caught up in long-winded conversations with adults during these photo op meet 'n greets.
How many millions of times have pictures of Trump and Ivanka been re tweeted? I don't recall anybody cutting him slack.

That's true, but I'm out of grade school so the *neener neener neener* thing doesn't interest me. Truth does. Facts do. Behaving as badly as the next guy? Not so much at my age.

Good point there too.
