WASHINGTON, DC: President Joe Biden was roasted on the Internet over a throwback photograph that features him seemingly sniffing his wife Jill Biden's hair.

The throwback photo was shared on the social media handles of the 81-year-old incumbent and shows the President embracing his spouse after announcing his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988.

In November 2014, Biden was photographed embracing actress Eva Longoria and placing his nose up against her hair, The Sun reports.

Other incidents have also come to light, including photos from 2015 that show Biden getting close to Maggie Coons, daughter of Senator Chris Coons, (D-Del), and holding his hands on the shoulders of Stephanie Carter, wife of former Defense Secretary Ash Carter, while putting his mouth close to her ear. In another image from the same year, Biden was captured kissing the niece of incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on her head.

These incidents have led to allegations of inappropriate behavior, with former Nevada lieutenant governor candidate Lucy Flores accusing Biden of sniffing and kissing the back of her head and putting his hands on her shoulders at a campaign event, reports The Cut. 

Amy Lappos, a former Congressman's aide, also claimed that he rubbed noses with her and touched her face at a fundraising event, The Times reports. 

Despite these allegations, President Joe Biden has denied any wrongdoing, and the issue remains a topic of debate and discussion.
