Joe Biden trolled for 'creepy' behavior with kids in video while surveying Kentucky tornado damage

Joe Biden was visiting the site of the storm's devastation in Mayfield where he was jeered

Joe Biden was greeted with 'Let's Go Brandon' when he arrived in Kentucky to visit the site of the devastation caused by the quad-state storms over the past weekend. He described the destruction as a "God-awful mess" as people in Mayfield, Kentucky, were trying to recover from the shock of it all. He acknowledged that the damages sustained in these areas aren't going to be fixed quickly and might be done in "a month, in two months, in three months".

He promised federal help for the first 30 days not just in Kentucky but the other states as well. Biden was also heckled and called 'pedophile' by a woman as he spoke to the press, and the emotion was mirrored by people on the Internet shortly after. Biden said the country had sustained damage worth $99 billion this year alone due to foul weather and climate change. "And I’ve — I’ve been impressed how everybody is working together. I really mean it. It’s just amazing. The stories I’ve heard are all personal stories, not stories about “I lost…”, “I did this.” They’re talking about other people and helping other people. It’s just been amazing, and — but not surprising," he said about the people of Mayfield, following the survey. Three hours later, Biden arrived to address the communities in Dawson Springs where he was greeted by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear.
