Okay, so it isn't exactly breaking news. In fact, it might be a well known fact -- Vice President Joe Biden just can't keep his hands to himself, as his latest gaffe once again proves.
During a swearing-in ceremony for new Defense Secretary Ashton Carter on Tuesday, Biden got all touchy-feely with Carter's wife, Stephanie. As Ashton took to the podium to speak, Biden beckoned Mrs. Carter over before he placed his hands on her shoulders, leaned in close and began to whisper in her ear. You can check out the video of it below. The whole encounter lasts about 30 seconds. 30 long, awkward seconds.
It's more than a little cringeworthy, but this isn't the first time the VP of the United States has made his presence unbearable for the women who are forced to interact with him. This collection of images from Imgur highlights some of Biden's other infamous moments.
This one in particular is extra gross. During a swearing-in ceremony for new senators back in January, Biden went in to deliver a whisper and then a kiss on the cheek to the young daughter of U.S. senator Christopher Coons. This was the result.
Eww. Her father later told Fox News that his daughter doesn't think Joe Biden is "creepy," and that the VP was simply whispering words of encouragement to the young girl. Whispering is one thing, but kissing? Don't even go there, Joe. Don't ever go there again.
