Remember way back when the Democratic primaries for 2020 were just getting fired up? Joe Biden announced that he was running, but he was dogged by all of those photos and videos of him getting handsy with women of all ages. Biden actually filmed a video where he talked about how he's a "hands-on" guy but he was learning to respect personal space, it being 2019 and all, and #MeToo was still carrying some clout.
It's not a big deal, but Biden forgot about his promise to respect women's personal space during his scathing Weather Channel interview, reaching over to flick a bug off of Stephanie Abrams’ chest.

"Are you prepared to declare a national emergency with respect to climate change?"

BIDEN: "We've already done that"
"So you've already declared that national emergency?

Was that an act of chivalry? Will the mainstream media praise his quick action?
Snejana Farberov reports for the New York Post:
President Biden was bugging out during a rare interview that aired early Wednesday.
The handsy 80-year-old commander-in-chief reached out and brushed an insect off meteorologist Stephanie Abrams’ chest in an awkward moment during his chat with The Weather Channel.
Biden — who has long been accused of being overly touchy — was dodging a question about why he has not declared the climate a national emergency when he spotted the errant insect crawling on Abrams’ suit jacket.
“Oh, you’ve got a bug on you,” he muttered, quickly reaching out and flicking the critter off Abrams’ upper chest.
Was he close enough to get a quick sniff of her hair?
He REALLY needs to stop touching other people. Like really just never again.😳🤦♀️

Biden trying to cop a feel, as always.

Hey now. He's a beloved grandfatherly figure.
Jesus, dude just cannot respect people's private space.

Eva Longoria must have had a bug on her too. pic.twitter.com/gK0VIk72Sd

Why he gotta be all touchy-feely????

Literally can’t keep his hands off…

As we said above, it wasn't that big of a deal … certainly not as bad as when Eva Longoria had to grab his hands and move them off her waist.
If the Installed Joe Biden tried to touch me, he would not have a hand. Just to think about having him touch me makes my skin crawl.

The real question:
So, just what is a "$368B Climate Control Facility?"
— RankChoiceVotingisaScam (@alaska_rusty) August 9, 2023
A climate control facility? Is that where they control the weather from? And why does it cost $368 billion?
