Joe Biden’s book tour stop in Delaware was interrupted by a heckler who accused the former vice president of child molestation.
Biden, who was promoting his new memoir in Delaware on Sunday, was discussing his late son Beau’s reactions over the conviction of pediatrician Earl Bradley for the rape and molestation of young children.
A man in the crowd stood up and shouted, “What about the girls you molested on C-Span at the Senate swearing in?”

“This is not Trump world,” Biden replied, eliciting cheers from the audience.
RT reports: The man seemed to be referring to an incident in 2015 when Biden tried to kiss the awkward-looking teenage daughter of a US Senator on the head during a Congressional swearing in ceremony. The former vice president has been criticized before for letting his hands wander when around women, often touching them or rubbing their shoulders without permission.

The audience was unamused by the heckler’s interruption and began booing and shouting at him. Security then escorted the man out of the room.
Video of the incident later emerged on Twitter and was attributed to a user named PG Howie, who has been a frequent critic of Biden on the social media platform and refers to himself in his profile as someone who “confronts the deep state.”
Wow!@PGHowie2 confronts Joe Biden!
“What about the girls, you molested, on cspan, at the Senate swearing in?”

Biden has been an outspoken supporter of the #MeToo movement and the “It’s On Us” campaign, which was launched by the Obama administration to raise awareness about sexual harassment on college campuses. In March, he famously said he would have “beat the hell” out of Donald Trump in high school if he had bragged in front of him about groping women — and later apologized for the inappropriate wording.
