We have all seen a whole lot of photos and videos of Joe Biden appearing to inappropriately touch the spouses and daughters of senators and other officials who are being sworn in. There are also scenes of husbands appearing to step in, but nobody actually talks about what’s really going on there so we’re left to draw our own conclusions. Now former Sen. Scott Brown provided some insights into the scenes.

In a new podcast interview, former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown said that then-Vice President Joe Biden got handsy with Gail Huff Brown when the newly-elected Republican was being sworn in, and he had to let Biden know to cut it out.

“Yeah, I told him I would kick the sh… uh… I told him to stop,” Brown said. “So, yes.”

Brown made the comments on Tom Shattuck’s Burn Barrel podcast, a Massachusetts-based show hosted by the former Boston Herald Radio personality and his wife, Alice.

The former senator then suggested that Biden suffers from dementia.

“Also, I think people are irked out about all the hair sniffing and things when he went overseas. I think women are skeeved out by that stuff. He’s not a good guy. You know him…” Shattuck said before Brown interrupted.

“I did know him. I spent quite a bit of time with him. I enjoyed his company. But that’s not Joe Biden,” Brown said.

“We all know people who have dementia and have the beginning of Alzheimer’s, and he’s got it. I mean, it’s the walk. It’s the way he’s mumbling, his angry outbursts. And it’s a shame that we can’t do better in this great country.”

I may be wrong but I think these are the first remarks from someone at that high level addressing Biden’s behavior and his state. There are some parallels with former president George H.W. Bush’s behavior later in life. If so, it’s really bizarre that we’re just sitting and watching it play out while no one is allowed to discuss it.
