Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden faced backlash after posting a Wednesday tweet that mentioned “little girls”, following his selection of Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) as his newly named running mate.
“This morning, little girls woke up across this nation — especially Black and Brown girls who so often may feel overlooked and undervalued in our society — potentially seeing themselves in a new way: As the stuff of Presidents and Vice Presidents,” Biden tweeted.

Last March, counselor to the president, Kellyanne Conway told Chris Wallace in a Fox News interview, “If anybody just types in ‘Creepy Uncle Joe Videos,’ you come up with a treasure trove.”
“[There is] far more evidentiary information and videos than we saw when Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination was trying to be derailed and him, as an individual and family, being destroyed by folks who had no evidence of what allegedly happened 34 years earlier,” she said.
Conway added, “I think Joe Biden has a big problem here because he calls it affectionate hand shakes. His party calls it completely inappropriate.” Continued Below

You jailed many of the fathers, grandfathers and mothers of the little black and brown girls you mentioned in your pandering expose for weed, while your little grand children had their fathers at home with them, though one of their fathers is a cocaine user.

Women feeling undervalued? Like when you told your junior staffer Tara Read she “meant nothing” after you sexually assaulted her and asked her to serve drinks at your fundraisers because you liked her legs?

The only interest you have in little girls is in groping them. pic.twitter.com/rWqXYelL09

Creepy Joe shouldn’t be talking about little girls waking up in the morning considering the fact that he has been seen touching them inappropriately over the years. So much so that he was told he no longer could do it.
