At a campaign rally in Arizona, President Joe Biden confused attendees by leaving the stage to interact with a baby in the crowd and make faces with his little admirer.
The New York Post claims that the elderly man watched the child as his campaign manager presented him at a Phoenix Mexican restaurant. Then the president paid his unexpected visit.
“Well, people, I must be honest with you. He gladly greeted the small group of people in the crowd and said, “I enjoy you all, but I couldn’t resist that baby.”
According to the outlet’s story, Biden’s campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, had been in front of the audience for about a minute when the youngster caught his attention and caused him to turn away.
He reportedly made a grimace at the infant and said in a whisper, “How old?” which made others chuckle while Rodriguez went on with her statement.
The president tried to make the infant laugh and pulled faces at the audience as he spoke with the mother and youngster.
The purpose of the gathering in the battleground state was to boost Biden’s standing among Latino voters, who backed him prior to his 2020 election victory.
Despite seldom acknowledging the existence of his eldest son Hunter Biden’s out-of-wedlock child with former stripper Lunden Roberts, Biden has seven grandkids. He has also said in the past that “I enjoy kids better than people.”
Just the previous year, when he was leaving Helsinki, the president seemed to nip at the shoulder of a shocked small girl.
When Biden, who turned 81 last November, attempted to give the little child a peck on the head, the terrified little girl later moved her head away.
Social media users swiftly shared footage of the encounter, criticizing the president for his strange behavior.
Donald Trump Jr. tweeted in response to the video, saying, “Biden should be in a geriatric home, not ruling the free world.”
