‘Disgusting’: Joe Biden blasted for ‘creepy’ comment to young girl

US President Joe Biden has been blasted online for “creepy” comments he made to a young girl on Thursday.

A video of the 81-year-old was posted to X as numerous social media users slammed Biden’s comment.

Every time he does this…it’s never any less creepy. Disgusting,” wrote one user.

Leading up to the comment, Biden sang Happy Birthday to the young girl, who is the daughter of freed hostage Alsu Kurmasheva.

The oldest-ever sitting president delivered a speech in the White House following the release of four US hostages.

The hostage release deal between America and Russia was one of the biggest and most complex in US history.

Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and Marine veteran Paul Whelan were among the freed hostages.
