President Joe Biden raised eyebrows — and a few alarms — Friday when he lavishly complimented a little girl on her appearance during remarks at a Virginia military base.
“I love those barrettes in your hair, man,” Biden said. “I tell you what, look at her, she looks like she’s 19 years old, sitting there like a little lady with her legs crossed.”
The girl in question, who appeared to be elementary school age, had joined her parents and two older brothers on the podium while her mother introduced the president at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Hampton, Virginia.
Biden’s bizarre aside was noted and tweeted by The Post Millennial, causing a commotion on Twitter.
“That’s pretty *&^%$!ed up,” tweeted longtime Republican consultant Nathan Wurtzel, who joked in a subsequent tweet : “I guess this explains the Lincoln Project support.”
Other reactions were even more succinct.
“Um, wut,” tweeted RealClearPolitics co-founder Tom Bevan, while Ricochet editor-in-chief Jon Gabriel chimed in, “dude has issues.”
“Creeeeeeep!” reacted Fox News contributor Johnny “Joey” Jones, while Townhall.com senior editor Matt Vespa tweeted : “To Catch a Predator”.
“This is going to be his last straw,” conservative podcast host and Spectator USA contributor Stephen Miller captioned an image of Kathy Bates taking a sledgehammer to James Caan’s legs in the movie “Misery.” “We’re not going to see him [Biden] for the next two weeks.”
Biden has a long history of awkward encounters with girls and young women. In February, he told an Arizona nurse during a video conference that she looked “like a freshman” in college.
During his time as vice president, Biden became notorious for getting too close to women for comfort. During Ash Carter’s swearing-in ceremony as defense secretary in 2015, Biden stood behind Carter’s wife Stephanie , held her by her shoulders and occasionally whispered in her ear. Earlier that year, Biden whispered to the then-13-year-old daughter of Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) and gave her a kiss on the head after swearing in his fellow First Stater.
Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign was nearly ended before it began when in March 2019, former Nevada lawmaker Lucy Flores claimed the then-vice president grabbed her by the shoulders and kissed her hair during a Las Vegas campaign event in 2014.
Days later, after three more women accused him of inappropriate contact, Biden released a video in which he promised to “be more mindful and respectful of people’s personal space.”

One year ago this weekend, hundreds of thousands of women marched down the streets of D.C. to the White House. Since then, these women have been trying to effect change from the inside.

The American people are on a first-name basis with many of the leading ladies of the White House: Ivanka. Melania. Omarosa (until she was fired, kicking and screaming (opens in new tab) , that is).
But further down the list of well-known women working in the White House Office—past Kellyanne Conway, Hope Hicks, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders (thank you, Aidy Bryant (opens in new tab) , for making her as recognizable as she is now)—are a number of women who, while they don’t dominate the headlines, wield plenty of power. They're the cogs in the wheels of the domestic policy council, office of communication, office of legislative affairs, and more, writing executive orders, press bulletins, and deciding who gets face time with the leader of the free world.
We suggest getting to know them, since female staffers are far outpacing the men in their tenures (opens in new tab) .
Schlapp, a longtime GOP strategist and conservative commentator, secured a top role in the White House, despite all the talk in 2016 of "draining the swamp." She’s also half of a D.C. power couple: She co-founded a political consulting firm with her husband, Matt Schlapp, who serves as chairman of the American Conservative Union and the yearly Conservative Political Action Conference. Another interesting factoid (opens in new tab) : Schlapp is a first generation Cuban-American, raised in Florida, whose father was jailed for six years by the Castro regime.
Walters knows the chaos of the White House well: As part of her current role, she also served as an advisor to Press Secretary Sean Spicer until his abrupt resignation. Now, Walters often leads “press gaggles” on Air Force One. Corralling the press likely comes naturally to her, having spent one year as a spokesperson for the National Republican Committee
Not only is she a journalist—formerly of the Miami Herald and Univision—a profession Trump loves to loathe, but Ferré was also an outspoken critic (opens in new tab) of his during the campaign, calling Trump “anti-feminine” and saying that he “is trying so hard to win the nomination from conservative voters that he’s trying to say what he thinks the conservative voter wants to hear. And that’s why he ends up messing up, constantly.” She has since purged (opens in new tab) her Twitter account of such rants. Ferré might seem an unlikely fit for the Trump White House, but she was appointed before the inauguration and is still there, so she’s clearly found a way to make it work.
Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
Rao is the woman overseeing Trump’s plan to dramatically overhaul the current government rules and regulations. She's no political lightwight: Rao has served in all three branches of the federal government, including as a clerk for SCOTUS justice Clarence Thomas and a member of the George W. Bush White House. She's currently on leave from her job as a law professor at George Mason University, where she lobbied (opens in new tab) successfully to rename the law school to honor the late, ultra-conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia with a multi-million dollar gift bestowed by the Koch Brothers.
White House Domestic Policy Councilmember
She worked on the presidential campaign of Trump's rival Senator Ted Cruz, but that seems to be water under the bridge. Now, the Harvard Law School and Wharton Business School grad focuses on regulatory reform for legal and immigration policy. Bash has thus far made headlines for things unrelated to her work, like her spot on the The Hill ’s 50 Most Beautiful (opens in new tab) list and for her high net-worth (opens in new tab) (in the millions). Soon after taking the White House job, she gave birth to her first child (opens in new tab) , a daughter, Mabel.
White House Health Care Policy Advisor
Talento's resume makes her an apt choice for her role. She served as legislative director for Republican Senator Thom Tillis and is an infectious disease epidemiologist by training with a degree from the Harvard School of Public Health. But she was a controversial pick: Talento has long expressed deep-seated fears that birth control pills cause abortions. “Is chemical birth control causing miscarriages of already-conceived children?” she wrote in a January 2015 column (opens in new tab) , in which she continued, “the longer you stay on the Pill, the more likely you are to ruin your uterus for baby-hosting altogether.”
This former third-grade teacher who's also been an event planner is on her second stint in the White House. During the George W. Bush administration, she worked in the White House Visitors Office. And Reynolds has strong ties to a prominent Republican family with deep pockets: Her father-in-law was the national finance chair for Bush's 2004 reelection campaign.
Wolkoff was Melania Trump’s first East Wing hire. Rather than rising in the ranks in D.C. political circles, Wolkoff came up through the fashion industry. She's formerly a special events planner for Vogue and fashion director for Lincoln Center. Wolkoff is a longtime friend of the first lady, reportedly helped plan Trump's inauguration, and was hired before FLOTUS considered a chief of staff or communications director. It helps to be well-connected.
Director of Communications for FLOTUS
Grisham is a testament to loyalty. She worked for the Trump campaign as a traveling press secretary and was part of the transition team before taking the role of Communications Director for the First Lady. The hardest part of the job for her while on the campaign trail? Going five-and-a-half months (opens in new tab) without seeing her kids.
