'You need to ask first': Iowa teacher blasts Biden for grabbing her hands when...
Washington Examiner ^ | 9/06/19 | Naomi Lim

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.

Thst’s funny! I can just see old Joe getting “suited up” before he’s allowed out where women are.

The first adult etiquette rule I learned was that when you greet a woman, you don’t touch her unless she offers her hand. That was at least 60 years ago.

Generally true.

But politicians presume anyone within reach wants to be with them, usually correctly.

Please, don’t make me defend Joe Biden, LOL.

Frankly, I don’t think a hand grab is that big a deal for a politician trying to show warmth. Even if Joe is a boob.

If you are serious about a politician showing warmth in that particular way, what is wrong with you?

That was my reaction. I was looking at that and thinking must be that some SS agent is drawing a bead on that guy who looks like he is about to pop the [expletive deleted] getting handsy with his biker babe.

"It's been too long since he's raised a family, too long since he's lived on a normal paycheck. I want somebody that actually gets it, that understands what it is to live on the paychecks that we live on, the housing crisis that we have, all of the ways that those things affect us."

Out of all the major Dem candidates who fits this description? They all grew up entitled and have never had to worry about money. One exception might be Bernie, but he's never held a real job, at least not for long. I guess Bernie is her guy and he doesn't seem to grope....

(DON’T) “Touch me babe”!

Touching a total STRANGER (especially a man touching a woman) in this way is absolutely INAPPROPRIATE! Never mind the current #metoo movement.

He isn’t “greeting her” (a handshake). He’s “molesting her” (a caress, to touch or stroke lightly in a loving or endearing manner)

If the photo showed just a little bit lower, you would see that Biden has a tent pole in his pants.

This guy is a CREEP! DISGUSTING! A serial molester.

What we need is a REAL man, a husband, boyfriend, or father to just DECK Biden.

All right, maybe not “DECK”, but IN YOUR FACE confront Biden.

Get right in his face and say “KEEP YOUR FRACKIN HANDS OFF MY WIFE!” (daughter, child, girlfriend, mother,)

A big F YOU would be good. Then, accept no apologies.

Cute! I see you switched faces between the man on the left and the woman in Biden’s lap.

***Get right in his face and say “KEEP YOUR FRACKIN HANDS OFF MY WIFE!” (daughter, child, girlfriend, mother,)***

There is a video showing Biden about to grab a little girl when her grandfather pushed his hand away.

The grandfather was Jeff Sessions.

You could tell by the look on Session’s face that he knew quite well what a child molesting pervert Biden is.

Good manners require that A woman’s hand be shaken only after she offers her hand to be shaken.

I really hope he is the Dem nominee.
Seriously the dude has some very real medical issues and boundary issues.
Like Hillary falling down and shaking in the last election.
