They're SO mad! Joe Biden under fire (AGAIN!) from libs/media over a 'dad joke' he told in Iowa

Joe Biden is getting criticized for this “dad joke” that he just told while meeting with voters in an Iowa diner:

Joe Biden meets a voter’s granddaughter in an Iowa coffee shop and asks her age. She says she’s 13. He addresses her brothers. “You’ve got one job here, keep the guys away from your sister.”

Oh, no . . . they’re offended, for real:

I just don't believe that anyone is actually offended by this. They're faking https://t.co/DGkg5uIvub

And here’s some of that outrage:

This is a perfect example of the worldview that it’s the job of men to protect women. Biden’s comment of taking Trump out back and beating him up was also part of this. John Kelly saying he longed for the days when women were on a pedestal is another. https://t.co/LhtL6u30hO

“I find myself rage sobbing over Joe Biden daily” is not a plot line I predicted for 2019. https://t.co/kQRzoehUKH

I literally have a whole chapter in the book I'm writing about this sort of paternalism – thx for more fodder, Joe! https://t.co/QC18ksRlon

At this point, it's hard to imagine that these are just gaffes. More likely that it is an intentional strategy to appeal to older Democrats who are uncomfortable with #MeToo. https://t.co/LCqjUv1ReQ

Psst. . .

Voters don’t really find this offensive at all:

People are going to try to take offense at this for whatever reason, I assume, but lemme tell ya, it appeals to the Dad Voter. https://t.co/s0mbNgLYZY
