The US President was seen playfully biting a baby's leg as he greeted trick-or-treaters at a White House Halloween event on Wednesday, making faces and placing kisses on children's foreheads
Joe Biden appears to bite a baby's leg while the tot is dressed like a chicken and being held by its mum who carried the kid to the President, in this bizarre photo.
One Twitter user wrote: "President Trump is mingling with garbage men at his rally in Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is literally BITING BABIES at the White House Halloween Party. WTF IS THIS TIMELINE?" Another said: "I can't stop laughing at this clip of Biden greeting a baby dressed as a chicken at the WH Halloween event while the most OMINOUS music plays."
The blunder occurred when Biden, 81, addressed a Latino advocacy group days after the comment was made. "Just the other day, a speaker at rally called Puerto Rico a 'floating island of garbage,'" the president told the group referring to a poorly-received joke by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City this past weekend.
The White House has been in scramble mode to dial back President Biden's assault on Trump enthusiasts, insisting that an apostrophe at the end of "supporter's" in Biden's barb means he was targeting Hinchcliffe specifically, not the broader swathe of Trump supporters. Despite the clarification, the remark rapidly stirred havoc among the MAGA crowd.
