Why is Joe Biden being labeled a pedophile, and why are some folks making jokes about him being one?

The evidence that Joe likes to sniff, stroke, and kiss the hair and faces of girls regardless of their reaction is on the video, ....

Unless you can show evidence that that video was not work on the video proof nothing once more no matter how must you would wish it to to do so.

If I were a parent, I wouldn't let a politician, or anybody, touch MY kids inappropriately in front of me.

You really wonder why anyone would be spending so much effort to get other people to look at a video of girls recoiling from the touch of an avuncular, but rather clueless, old man!

And that does not look normal. I don't understand WHY the parents of those girls didn't call Biden out about his behavior towards those girls.

This political tradition goes back a long way. It should have been abandoned years ago. However, it has little to do with pedophilia.

I've wondered the same about people who try to defend what Joe is seen doing in the video. Do you still believe that comparing those girls to purring cats is an apt analogy?

As long as people like you defend ole Joe's behavior, don't be surprised if someone decides to stick that video in your face.

Bringing up Trump's defects does not take away from Joe's behavior toward girls as seen in the video at the bottom of page one.

I think you're confused. No one is saying that either one of these guys is better than the other. This thread concerns why Joe Biden is being labeled a pedophile, and why some folks are making jokes about him being one.

That had absolutely nothing to do with the question posed by the OP. Nor does it have anything to do with what is seen in the video at the bottom of page one.

But you knew that, didn't you?

And who has said anything about him pimping kids out?

"Countless discomforting photos of @JoeBiden have surfaced but nothing disturbs me more than this one," reads the text in what looks like a screenshot of a tweet that was published to Facebook on Feb. 17. "This is a man who thinks he is running for president in 2020? Pls retweet and spread the awareness for people to look into him. #QAnon #TheStorm #FollowTheWhiteRabbit."

The post shows a photo of Biden leaning down by a boy with his hand cupped on the child’s face. In the post’s comments, the Facebook account also posted a doctored image that appears to show Biden flashing his nude body. Among the more than 18,000 people who shared the post on Facebook, one said, "President pervert pedophile." Another wrote: "Handsie uncle Joe must go!"

The original post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)

Speculation that Biden has acted inappropriately with women and children isn’t new. In 2015, New York magazine posted nine photos showing "times Joe Biden creepily whispered in women’s ears."

But this Facebook post is extremely out of context. We found the original photo, among others, accompanying a June 6, 2015, Associated Press story about the funeral of Beau Biden, the former Delaware attorney general and son of Joe Biden who died of brain cancer.

The photo was taken by photographer Patrick Semansky. The caption says: "Vice President Joe Biden embraces his grandson Hunter before funeral services for Hunter’s father, former Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, Saturday, June 6, 2015, at St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church in Wilmington, Del."

We reached out to Semansky to ask more about the image.

"The extended Biden family walked in a procession behind a hearse carrying Beau Biden’s casket," he told PolitiFact in an email. "They stopped roughly 30 feet in front of me, at the church’s front door, as a military honor guard removed the casket from the hearse and carried it inside for a funeral service. At different moments, the VP leaned over to comfort his grandson and granddaughter as they watched the honor guard and then followed the casket inside."

Semansky shared other photos from that day, including one that shows him kissing the top of his granddaughter’s head as she stands holding her mother’s hand, one that shows him holding his granddaughter’s hand with his arm around Beau Biden’s widow, and one that shows Joe Biden, his wife, his son’s widow and his grandchildren holding hands in a line as they approached the hearse.

Our ruling
The Facebook post suggests that Biden is behaving inappropriately with a boy. And without context, it’s unclear what’s happening in the photo. Is he covering the child’s mouth? Is he whispering in his ear? The post exploits this ambiguity, leading to comments that take the image as confirmation that the former vice president is a "pedophile" or "handsie."

Rather, he is comforting his grieving grandchildren as they say goodbye to their dad.

We rate this post Pants on Fire!

Sorry it the same kind of **** that was used against Hillary being recycle now against Biden.

. . . but his behavior on camera with children (and women) lends strongly to a perception that he does get some sort of sex-related satisfaction touching them, kissing their heads and hair, sniffing them, and otherwise invading their space in a sexual-type manner.

I agree. That is pretty hard to miss.

Sorry, but none of that detracts from what Joe is seen doing in the video at the bottom of page one of this thread. I assume that you still hold on to the hope that none of what is seen in the video is real because videos can be altered.

However, the only reason you want to believe that the video is not real and must have been altered is because you understand damn well what it shows. Is your point that Joe must have been comforting those girls because they were grieving?

I viewed the clip, noticed the slo-mo on several parts....but dang, then I saw it was an INFOWARs production. Call me a skeptic, but I have serious concerns about anything manufactured by Alex Jones....Jones is the steadfast 'journalist' who invented the whole children being held for prostitution in the non-existent basement of a DC pizza restaurant (by Hillary Clinton). A lunatic from North Carolina was so distressed by this outrageous lie he drove up armed with a loaded shotgun and terrorized the restaurant demanding to be taken to the basement.

I susopect Alex Jones is the only one getting sexual pleasure from the stories he fabricates and the situations he embellishes.
