Creepy or just sharing a secret? During the swearing-in ceremony for US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter on Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden was seen whispering into the ears of the wife of the new defense secretary. Social media was far from impressed.
Twitter immediately started calling him names for his 'poor etiquette'.
As Washington Post noted, this wasn't the first time Biden was seen being over-familiar. Earlier, he had been photographed in similar fashion with a biker. And recently, he was caught on camera whispering into Maggie Coons' ears during her father US Senator Chris Coon's swearing in, till she pulled away.
Altogether, it didn't seem to be one of the best days for the Veep.
