During a White House Halloween event on October 30, President Joe Biden sparked a flurry of online reactions after he was photographed playfully pretending to bite the legs of babies dressed in costumes. 

The images quickly circulated across social media, with one viral shot capturing Biden playfully nibbling the leg of a baby dressed as a chicken. 

The internet's response was divided. Some users found the moment endearing, with comments like, “Somebody give him an ice cream,” humorously noting his well-known fondness for the treat. 

However, others found the moment unsettling. One user commented, “That’s the creepiest photo I’ve seen in a while,” while another added, “He’s a creepy toucher and a pedo IMO.” 

Another reaction read, “He’s such a freak! How many times do we have to say ‘KEEP YOUR GRUBBY HANDS, TEETH, AND NOSE AWAY FROM CHILDREN.’”

While many social media users joined in on lighthearted commentary, others expressed concern over Biden’s interactions with children. 

“This is not normal behavior, this is very pervy pedo behavior,” one person wrote, with others echoing similar sentiments, calling it “gross,” and another person writing, “Yikes, lock him up.” 

One particularly direct reaction read, “Keep him away from my kids,” while another added, “Can’t wait to hear the defense of this behavior.”

The Halloween moment arrives amid Biden’s recent controversies over comments he made about his political opponent’s supporters. 

During a recent call, Biden reportedly remarked, “The only garbage I see floating out there are his supporters,” which led to further debate across social media.

The president has not directly addressed the photos or the responses they’ve generated, nor has the White House issued a comment regarding the images. 

Biden’s press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, did clarify the “garbage” comment earlier, noting that Biden did not “view Trump supporters or anybody who supports Trump as garbage.”
