SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA: President Joe Biden shared a surprising observation at a Pennsylvania campaign event, which has since gone viral. 

He said he often sees young kids, around seven to eight years old, showing him the middle finger as he drives through neighborhoods and rural towns.

Joe Biden’s surprising revelation

Biden was speaking at a campaign event in his hometown when he expressed his shock at seeing yard signs that read “F Biden.”

"I’ve never thought I’d see a time when I’m going through a neighborhood or a rural town that’s in the west and see big signs that have a Trump sign in the middle that says 'F Biden,'" he remarked in a short clip from the speech shared on X.



 

He added he sees little kids of seven or eight years old, standing with his middle finger.

“Well, I promise, it happens all the time. It’s not who we are,” Biden said, reports The Daily Wire.

Joe Biden’s reason for presidential run in 2020

Biden’s comments about children flipping him off were followed by his explanation of why he decided to run for president in 2020.

He cited the Charlottesville, Virginia, car attack in August 2017 as his motivation.

In this incident, a young woman was killed by a man who drove his car through a crowd protesting a white supremacist rally.

Biden criticized Trump’s response to the incident, saying, “And my future opponent, my present opponent — they asked him what he thought of it. He said there were ‘very good people on both sides.'”

“And I’m going to say something that may sound outrageous to you, but I thought … he’s the antithesis of everything I believe, and I thought I could beat him. And that’s why I ran," Biden stated.
