This Image Does Not Show Biden Behaving Inappropriately With a Minor

A viral image recently circulated online, allegedly showing a 30-year-old Joe Biden in the company of a 12-year-old girl, alongside a statement attributed to him: “When she was 12, I was 30.”

The image was widely interpreted by some users as implying inappropriate behavior between an adult and a minor. Several social media posts featured the image with captions making serious accusations, including claims such as “He’s known [for] sexing children” and referring to Biden as a “criminal.”
