At Twitchy reported this morning, a sizable percentage of the social media world was more creeped out than usual by footage of Vice President Joe Biden and his creeping hands. This time he rested his hands on the shoulders of Defense Secretary Ashton Carter’s wife (while Carter was being sworn in) and apparently whispered something into her ear.
As many have observed, it’s exactly the kind of behavior that would have a person in the private sector sent to sensitivity training for a refresher on sexual harassment. Aren’t we beyond time for that national conversation on what to do with Uncle Joe?
Should there be a national conversation on Joe Biden's touching issues? http://t.co/sWEu1VraMo

@judecostanc9 @byronyork Recall how the Clinton camp attacked Rick Lazio in 2000 for personal space? Biden and Hillary on debate stage. Nah.

Let's not forget that Joe's creeping isn't targeted only to women… pic.twitter.com/ioWb63qxz5

@ByronYork I'd be fired from my job if I did what he has done

@ByronYork @Maxinerunner Did he have their "enthusiastic consent?" Did he ask? If not, expel him from campus.

Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume notes that any change in Biden’s behavior is going to have to come from outside.
People mocking Joe Biden for his creepy nuzzling should understand that Joe Biden cannot be embarrassed.

@brithume but everyone excuses his behavior."joe being joe".Why?

@brithume Just because Joe is thick headed does not mean we should give him a pass on his inappropriate behavior & comments.
