He's the uncle you don't leave your kids alone with.

[arresttedrosadhanom]

I can only imagine how everyone would go bizarre if Trump did this.

[kayladeclue]

Every single person he touches looks uncomfortable asf.

[davidmcgrew]

body language says it all, these women don't wanna be that close to him.

[mackcummy]

They didn't even show the creepiest ones with the younger girls, like the kids.

[JetMan]

He’s the guy in the family you never leave your kids with

[Jemmyjo]

The kisses on the cheek are fine. That goes on constantly in South Florida, but the arm ALL the way around the waist, the hair and face touching and the hair arranging, make me want to 🤮

[jonjohnson]

You got one job. Keep creepy uncle Joe away from your sister.

[tommyshaw]

Notice that NBC left all the little kids out of it, which is the weirdest part of the whole thing

[AlexanderSimic]

Hey I stand behind Uncle Joe! Because i am too scared to stand in front of him...

[clairebourassa]

My dad used to say: stay away from old creepy touchy men, especially if they are the president of the USA

[badassmoralfukka]

He's like an NPC that has a few lines that he keeps on repeating.

"You have one job, to keep the boys away from your sister."

"You come over here to this side."

"You have good taste."

[NedWasHere]

I find it interesting that they didn’t include him repeatedly kissing the teenage girl’s ear as she tried to pull away from him

[tmckmusic]

Young people's intuitive reaction to his touch says everything.

[brycehardy]

You can see the discomfort in each and every one of their faces. It’s truly disgusting.

[adrianesr]

The discomfort can be seen in every individual especially the kids turning their heads in the opposite direction.

[tylercox]

I think his dad actually use to say that to him "keep joe away from your sister"

[newrealitygaming]

Biden - "What are you a senior?"
Girl - "Junior"
Biden - "Perfect"

[inigolafuente]

Well done americans. Now "this" is your president.

[reggierodriguez]

The touching of children is not normal.
