Twitter users were in mockery mode when a creepy photo of President Joe Biden was shared showing him peering in a restaurant window at young girls.
The girls were enthusiastic when they noticed that the president was nearby during his vacation in Nantucket and started shouting his name.
The president responded by going to the window to greet the young girls, which is a totally normal thing to do.
But the photo has a certain look to it and it was not unnoticed by Twitter users.
Some kids inside the Lemon Press restaurant on Main Street started yelling to President Biden as he walked past them… @POTUS #nantucket pic.twitter.com/75iQwz8Bt1

The comments were more brutal on Instagram, The Daily Mail reported.
‘This is not normal. Stop trying to normalize this. If this was any other old man, you would all be freaking out, too,’ wrote one user on Instagram, responding to a post from the Nantucket Current.
‘Thankfully there was glass to protect them from getting sniffed,’ wrote one user.
‘Given his history with children the creep factor is high,’ wrote another.
A fourth commenter said the shop owners should ‘Keep him outside.’
And one online observer wrote: ‘Things in life that never change. Death taxes and Biden with little girls.’
In June, Biden gave a rare live press conference to reporters and managed to make some very eyebrow raising comments when speaking to an Associated Press reporter.
It happened on Thursday when he was complimenting the reporter about his objective reporting in the president’s first interview with a reporter in 126 days, The Associated Press reported.
The president was talking about the impact COVID had on Americans, a kids missing school when he began talking about the reporter’s daughter.
BIDEN: If you had, and instead of your child being, how old, five?
AP: Five.
BIDEN: Five years old. If your child had been 17 years old two years ago.
AP: I’m not ready for that.
BIDEN: Well get ready, man. Boy or girl?
AP: Girl.
BIDEN: Well I’ll tell you what, she’s gonna, she’s going to be crazy about you until about age 13. And then hang on. But all kidding aside, here’s the deal. Think about what it’s like for the graduating classes of the last three years. No proms. No graduation. No, no, none of the things that celebrate who we are. Think about it across the board. How isolated we’ve become. How separated we’ve become. Even practical questions like, you know, can you go out on a date? I mean (inaudible) the normal socialization, how does that take place? There’s overwhelming evidence it’s had a profound impact on the psyche of parents, children, across the board.

In another part of the interview he thanked the reporter for his objective reporting as they spoke about his economic agenda.
“So let me ask you because you brought it up, your domestic agenda. In speeches you’ve said your domestic agenda is key for helping the middle class and beating inflation,” the reporter said. “Do you have the votes as of today, because …”
“Yes. I think it’s changing. Well, first of all, I had the votes. If I had told you (garble) … You’re not doing (inaudible). I’m impressed by your objectivity, how you write. I’m not being, I shouldn’t say that on the record because then you’ll get in trouble,” the president said.
“I’m in trouble anyway. So it’s OK,” the reporter said.
“But all kidding aside. Usually (inaudible) the question I get asked in the beginning with the Recovery Act: Can you get this passed? How can you possibly do that?
