If anything, you’d want to watch the guy trying (and failing) to keep his peculiar proclivities a secret.
He’s all over them like a rash, look. It’s obscene.
This is the thing, until 10 or 15 years ago this was entirely socially acceptable behaviour for old people, be they men or women. That wasn't great, but it's how it was. Kids were expected to submit to pats, hugs and kisses from pretty much any old person and not make a fuss about it. The idea that kids should have agency in choosing who touches them is pretty recent. I imagine to the great disappointment of handsy grandparents everywhere.
The only thing it's a sign of is that Biden is a very old man who is a product of his times. It's part of the argument as to why he's not an appropriate leader for a major country in 2024, his mindset is decades out of date. But that's all. He's kind of a creep by modern standards, but there's a massive gulf between "kind of a creep" and "rapes children". These are not the same thing, and one does not automatically imply the other.
And if "he's kind of a creep" is an argument that someone shouldn't be a politician, we wouldn't have politicians. On the scale of scandalous things that politicians do, this doesn't even register. You've got to be trafficking minors or at least get caught with your dick in one to even start to compete these days.
Trump's noted creepiness around children (and women) isn't a reason why he shouldn't be elected, it's just a reason why he's a creep. The reasons why Trump shouldn't be elected are because he's a traitor and a criminal.
