YouTube host Dave Rubin also took it on Twitter and wrote, “The scandal is the non-scandal.”
Meanwhile, Columbia and Adelphi Professor Zenkus also wrote on Twitter. He stated that as an expert in sexual abuse, he’s given adults training on recognizing conduct from other adults that is unsafe and maintaining the safety of their kids.

Biden, notorious for this type of behavior
This is not the first time that Biden showed red flags in relation to remarks he made to young ladies. During a campaign stop in Miami, Biden also made remarks to a group of “beautiful young ladies.”
When he paid a visit to the Little Haiti Cultural Center, Biden spotted a group of young girls to the side. Biden then said that he wanted to see the “beautiful young ladies,” and he also wants to see them dancing when they are four years older.
Video footage showed that Biden’s remarks were addressed to two young girls who appear to be sitting off to the side. The video footage, which was published last year in October, went viral. It also sparked accusations of Joe Biden’s “creepy” behavior towards young girls.
Then in February, during a video conference, he told an Arizona nurse that she looked like a “freshman” in college.
During his term as vice president, Biden was also notorious for coming too close to women for comfort.
During the ceremony of Ash Carter being sworn in as defense secretary back in 2015, Biden stood behind Carter’s wife, held her shoulders very tightly, and whispered into her ear from time to time.
Earlier that same year, Biden was also seen whispering to the teenage daughter of Senator Chris Coons, and then kissed her on the head.
