Joe Biden makes a shocking revelation and says his staff does not allow him to call young girls on stage, but …

President Joe Biden asked little girls to accompany him on stage at an event honoring Gotham FC on Monday. In a bombshell revelation, he said his White House staff told him there were things “I want to do that I can't do.” But the POTUS added that he would “do it anyway.”

Following his surprise admission during a celebration honoring the 2023 National Women's Soccer League champions, Biden, 81, was seen shaking hands with a number of elementary and middle school students on stage in the East Room.

“You know, I thought if I became president, I would be able to do the things I wanted to do. But my staff tells me what I can't do,” Biden remarked after arriving at the event with 40-year-old standout player Ali Krieger.

“But I'm going to do it anyway,” the POTUS added. “All the young women, young children out there – that are out there, come on over here and do this. Get behind me, that would be fine too. Just come on over here.”

Biden could be heard asking some of the children their names over the microphone, but some of his comments were inaudible.

Republicans previously circulated a video in which Biden appears to confuse both adult and young women by touching or sniffing them at public events. His critics have dubbed him “Creepy Joe.” During his speech, Biden did not explain why his aides banned such contact.

Biden and his strange equation with young girls

In April 2019, Biden promised to be “more respectful of privacy in the future” after several women spoke out about the negative impact his unwanted contacts had on their lives.

Compared to his time as Vice President under Barack Obama, he has produced far fewer embarrassing video recordings in his role as President.

After being forced to abandon the Democratic presidential nomination due to concerns about his mental health, Biden has begun to express his views more freely as he nears retirement. On Monday afternoon, he will travel to New York for the annual session of the United Nations General Assembly.

First Lady Jill Biden spoke more during the public portion of a Cabinet meeting on Friday than her husband Biden, who spent much of his time on vacation.
