Joe Biden has again raised eyebrows by telling a six-year-old girl ‘I love your ears’ at a Thanksgiving event.
The President, who turns 81 on Monday, approached the child, named Catherine, and said her ears were ‘really cool’ at the meet at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia.
He bent down and almost touched the youngster during the ‘Friendsgiving’ at the naval base ahead of the holiday later this week.
Social media viewers brand Biden ‘creepy’ and said his demeanor was ‘disturbing’ during the impromptu exchange.
It is not the first time the president has been questioned for interactions with youngsters, with him most recently pretending to eat a child’s ear in the summer.
‘I love your ears!’, Biden said reaching down to a girl who was wearing a headband with leopard ears, almost touching them.
‘I love ’em. They’re really cool! What’s your name?’ the president asked. ‘Catherine’, the little girl responded.
‘What a beautiful name,’ Biden said. ‘That’s my mommy’s name. How old are you? 17?’ he joked. ‘Six!’ the youngster replied shyly.
The reaction on social media found Biden’s reaction ‘disturbing’, ‘creepy’ and ‘cringe’.
