CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Joe Biden left an Iowa teacher unimpressed with his canned response to her question about collective bargaining, but what she resented more was how he abruptly seized her hands and clung onto them.
Jessica Roman, 41, had stopped Biden, 76, as he greeted voters on Monday during the Hawkeye Area Labor Council's Labor Day picnic in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The North Liberty preschool teacher, who works with special needs children, was pressing the former vice president on his plans to help unionized members of her profession under recent changes to Iowa's collective bargaining laws when he reached for her hands.
"I think that he means well but, you know, he grabbed my hands right away and that was really uncomfortable," she told the Washington Examiner. "He was very close and, in my mind, I'm like, this is part of our problem: Not recognizing that you need to ask first, or can I shake your hand? Not just grab your hands and hang onto them. That bothers me."
The interaction was witnessed by the Washington Examiner and captured on video from two different angles.

Yeah, she looks upset....not!
Despicables in government ALERT!
“Old etiquette for men: never offer your hand to a lady. A lady who wants to shake hands will offer hers, palm facing downward.”
True. And that is the way it was in the good old days.
He did hold her hands way too long, but it also seems she could have smilingly pulled them away in a natural gesture that would not cause such fuss. But then she would not have had her 15 minutes of fame.
Who is selling the Joe Biden oven mitts?
His staff need to give him a pair for when he is around people.
Joe was certainly part of “the old days.” He should know better.
She also said that Demsuckers should just "swallow Joe." I guess "Iowa teacher" doesn't swallow.
Here's mud blood in yer eye!
Somehow, I am detectijng a misremeberin of the sammicher and the sammichee
Imagine if Trump did this.
And the Hannibal Lecter mask.
I have always thought the Biker on the right has much the same expression as that LEO whose leg Joe once put his hand on.
Or she could have slapped him in the chops.
Of course she would be proned out in an instant & the SS would be kicking in her door and seizing her hard drives.
Biden isn’t that stupid; he knows what’s unwelcome but also knows he has the raw power to get away with it.
Can’t wait for PDJT to rip him a new one in the debates.
That’s not true. In business situations, you are expected to offer your hand in a handshake.
I just had to do so a couple of days ago to a woman I had never met before in a business meeting.
Grabby McGrabby hands is at it again I see.
This inveterate old pervert needs what any decent gentleman would do to such a creep- punch him square in the mouth.
She could have smilingly pulled them away...and then delivered a left cross to the dirty old man.
To be fair and accurate, Biden is a mental case.
As a direct result of two brain surgeries, he has quite literally lost his sense of judgment and his self restraint.
Can you imagine anyone more qualified to have his finger on the nuclear launch button?
The DNC apparently can’t.
Additional old etiquette for men: Only offer your hand to a woman if to assist her in alighting from a car or perhaps navigating around an obstacle like a blockage on a side walk or a similar situation and of course holding open a door. And when walking down a street with a woman the gentleman walks to the outside.
The biker on the right is an ordained minister, like the patch on his vest says. Biden is disgusting.
