US President Joe Biden, on Monday, admitted that his aides often told him he” can’t” do what he wants, but he insists he will “do it anyway”. According to New York Post, his reply came during an event honouring the 2023 National Women’s Soccer League leaders, Gotham FC, in the East Room of the White House.
Biden expressed his wonder at the limits of his political position after shaking hands with the legendary actor Ali Krieger. ” You know, I thought when I got to be president, I’d get to do things that I want to do. But my staff tells me what I ca n’t do”, he said. Then, he asked the audience’s young women to join him on stage and said,” All the young women, young children out that, come on up and do this another.” Biden added,” And the men”.
Biden’s proposal seemed light-hearted, but it raised issues, as his previous interactions with children and women have drawn condemnation for appearing to require’ sniffing’ or’ touching’ them at public events, leading some Republicans to attribute him” Creepy Joe”.
In a blog on the social media platform X, Biden had earlier pledged to be “more wary about respecting private space in the future” in response to various allegations of inappropriate stroking.
