During the swearing in of the newly appointed Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter on Tuesday, Feb. 17, cameras captured Biden getting close with Carter's wife, Stephanie, as he seemingly whispered into her ear during the ceremony.
Immediately, critics from all over began attacking this behavior as inappropriate etiquette of his office, accusing Biden of sexual harassment. Here are some of the responses:

@Jezebel I adore VP Joe Biden. He seems like a genuinely nice, caring, older man whose heart is in the right place. #UncleJoe

Not sure why a creep like @VP is not shunned by civil society. https://t.co/jYEOs6MEFd
