President Joe Biden ignited a firestorm this week after a bizarre video of him emerged this week where he nibbled on a small child who appeared to not like the interaction.
The video of Biden came from Helsinki, Finland, and showed what happened when he approached a woman carrying a small child.
Biden put his face in the girl’s shoulder and nibbled on her for several seconds, causing the girl to turn away from the 80-year-old.
Biden then attempted to kiss the girl on the head and she turned her head and again moved away from Biden.

The video generated widespread disgust online from many who noted that Biden has a long history of this type of behavior.
“This has got to be Biden’s creepiest moment yet with a child,” said digital media strategist Caleb Hull. “All Biden has to do is not do this and he can’t.”
Radio host Jesse Kelly tweeted, “Dude can’t help himself when he sees a little girl. Like a kid on Christmas morning.”
Australian political commentator Rita Panahi tweeted, “Creepy AF & Biden has a long history of inappropriate touching, kissing, sniffing & whatever the hell this is …”
“What the F**K is wrong with this man?” tweeted Red State editor Ben Kew.
“I’m sorry,” said media analyst Joe Concha. “Normal people don’t do this with children …”
Mediaite noted that the clip sparked lots of commentary on cable news channels, including on Fox News, where host Jesse Watters said, “Here’s the president nibbling at a terrified baby in Finland. It’s not presidential. It’s weird.”
“The only time men do that is with their own children at home, maybe – not with strange babies in the middle of Europe with cameras rolling,” Watters added. “He’s nuzzling and sniffing random kids. Joe showed more affection to this young Finnish girl than to his own granddaughter in Arkansas.”
