New Delhi: During the swearing in ceremony of US Defence secretary Ashton Carter on Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden was captured whispering into the ears of Carter's wife.
The picture went viral on the social media and twitteratis immediately started calling him names for his 'poor etiquette'.
As reported by Washington Post, this wasn't the first time Biden was seen being over-familiar. Earlier, he had been photographed in similar fashion with a biker. And recently, he was caught on camera whispering into Maggie Coons' ears during her father US Senator Chris Coon's swearing in, till she pulled away.
Hours after the uproar over the latest photograph, Biden's discussion on the Somali community in his hometown Delaware offended some people again. Biden said he had great relations with them, "because an awful lot of them are driving cabs". Critics accused him of making insensitive comments that played to a racial stereotype.
