WATCH: Biden Ripped For Creepy Exchange With Little Girl: ‘How Old Are You?’

President Joe Biden tried out his “creepy whisper” and attempted small talk with an 11-year-old girl on the campaign trail Monday during multiple stops around Pennsylvania to recognize Martin Luther King, Jr. Day while touting various accomplishments he claims have improved the lives of Americans.

During a tour of the Fire Training Academy in Allentown, the president took questions from firefighting trainees about what elements of “Bidenomics” have actually helped Americans survive the crushing pressure of inflation, causing him to whisper ominously about the fees charged by banks.

“One of the things that’s going to have an impact is – and I know it doesn’t matter to you guys; I’m being facetious, I shouldn’t kid like that. But when you want to call and check the balance on your account, they charge 30 bucks,” he said.

If the president is bragging that the biggest accomplishment of his first term might save most Americans the equivalent of half a tank of gasoline, then it could spell problems for his reelection campaign.

During a swing through a local grocery store, Biden, holding a full bag of apples, attempted to cajole an 11-year-old girl into making small talk with him at the deli counter.

“How old are you?” Biden shouts over store music. “11? Wow!”

WATCH:

During his 2020 campaign, Biden was endlessly ridiculed by President Donald Trump for his troubling behavior around children, casting him as the creepy uncle who smelled children’s hair or otherwise got too close to them during photos. The White House hasn’t done much to dispel the nation, allowing the president to sniff a baby in Finland and try to ride a child’s bike during a Toys for Tots event. The never-ending struggles of Biden around children earned him a rebuke from Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO).

Advisors close to Biden believe the president’s best message for reelection is to draw attention to policy changes, mostly within the 2021 Inflation Reduction Act, that they say will demonstrate tangible benefits for American families in contrast to the chaotic rhetoric they claim comes from President Trump and the Republican field. However, the president isn’t getting a free pass from those in his own party. Congressman Dean Phillips (D-MN) and self-help guru Marianne Williamson are competing for the Democratic Party’s nod in New Hampshire next week while the president’s surrogates are encouraging voters to write his name in, as he will not appear on the ballot.
