Sunday 27 November 2022 03:14 PM Joe Biden is branded 'creepy' for peering through window at Nantucket restaurant trends now
President Joe Biden has been once again roasted for his creepy behavior around kids - after he was seen lurking in the background of children's selfies as he peered through a shop window on Nantucket.
Over the holiday weekend, the president delivered a close up when he unexpectedly approached the store window of the Lemon Press Juice Shop on the Nantucket.
Several young girls had been watching as Biden strolled the streets of town.
Biden is on Nantucket with his family for Thanksgiving, which the First clan spent at the home of billionaire David Rubenstein.
As the president strolled the streets of town on Saturday, nursing what appears to be a milkshake, one of the children can be heard screaming, 'There's Joe! Oh my God, hi!'

Lowering himself to their level, Biden removed his sunglasses and smiled at the cohort of kids.
But some on social media were not so amused by the president's child-centric antics.

A fourth commenter said the shop owners should 'Keep him outside.'
And one astute online observer wrote, 'Things in life that never change. Death taxes and Biden with little girls.'
But others online felt the president's actions were sweet and emblematic of his role as a grandfather.
'They'll have that memory for a lifetime,' wrote one user on Twitter.
Others chimed in that the interaction demonstrated 'sensitivity' and 'warmth' from the president.
Biden has previously addressed his record of 'inappropriate touching,' which prior to his most recent presidential run, he claimed had been years of him attempting to forge 'human connection.'
'I want to talk about gestures of support and encouragement that I've made to some women and some men and I've made them uncomfortable,' he said in a 2019 video ahead of his White House run.
'I shake hands, I hug people. I grab men and women by the shoulders and say you can do this, whether they're women, men, young, old. It's the way I've always been and tried to show that I care about them and I'm listening,' he said.
Though he said in the video he would change his ways with the times, just last month, the touchy commander in chief raised eyebrows again when he grabbed a teenage girl by the shoulders and offered unsolicited dating advice.
