Your support makes all the difference.Joe Biden has been no stranger to awkward photographs since he has been vice president, but this week he found a way into another strange photograph that was posted on Facebook.
Vice President Biden was holding Jasper Michael Brown Quintana, the young grandson of billionaire and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, when he evidently decided it would be funny if he put the child’s pacifier – known fittingly as a dummy to our British readers – in his mouth.
The child’s mother, Georgina Bloomberg, posted the photo on Facebook earlier this week with the caption “What’s a boy to do when the Vice President steals your pacifier?”
The boy clearly did not know what to do and in the photo wore a confused expression to the audacity Biden showed by stealing his dummy.
Biden and former Mayor Bloomberg were attending a ceremony at which Bloomberg was formally made an Honorary Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, the New York Post reported.
The latest strange photo likely will give people on the internet some entertainment, as his previous photos have already done.
