President Joe Biden accused of disgusting comments about a girl
President Joe Biden came under fire Friday after comments he directed at a young girl circulated online and caused backlash.
While speaking at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Hampton, Virginia, the video shows Biden making direct, off-color comments toward a person who was reportedly “a little girl.”
“I love those barrettes in my hair, man. I’ll tell you what, look at her.
She looks like she’s 19 years old sitting there like a little lady with her legs crossed.”
“Brittany, you’re doing triple duty as a veteran, military spouse and teacher. And kids, thank you for being there for your mother.” Biden said
The girl “appeared to be of school age” and “had reportedly joined her parents and two older brothers at the podium as her mother introduced the president.”
Biden quickly came under fire on social media for the comments, trending on Twitter.
Friday’s incident was not the first time Biden has been accused of such behavior.
Before Biden launched his presidential campaign, former Nevada lawmaker Lucy Flores accused Biden of unwanted contact during a campaign event when Biden was vice president.
Then, three other women came forward with accusations of unwanted touching, including kissing and fondling.
Biden responded to those allegations where he promised to “be more conscientious and respectful.”
During his campaign, Biden was also accused of sexual assault by Tara Reade, who worked as an assistant in Biden’s office.
Biden has strongly denied Reade’s allegations.
