I’m not sure if Biden was trying to flirt. Well, at least not consciously. I think he thought he was being witty and charming. That’s how far gone he is. No sense of social or situational awareness at all.
It’s mostly still considered complimentary to allude to a woman looking youthful, in casual conversation, but not in a meeting, and not by calling her a freshman.
Oh, and the flirting angle... If Trump had done this, the ladies on the View would be calling him a predator. I’ll bet anything they apologize for Biden though
Recall how the media got their shorts twisted when Pres. Trump told Macron’s wife she still looked good? LOL!
He could have pinched her behind and the “ladies” on the View would still be making excuses for him.
In an age where the government has warped society to the point where if you tell a woman in the office that "you look nice today" will get you a strike by HR; no, I'm not giving any quarter to the perditions of the senile idiot Biden.
