Joe Biden, Nibbler-in-Chief
Each year, the White House hosts a horde of screaming kids and their parents for a little patriotic trick-or-treating. The kids get candy, and their parents get to meet the sitting president. Win-win! With less than a week until the presidential election, things are scary enough as it is. But during Wednesday night’s annual celebration in the capital, things took a turn for the weird when President Biden was pictured biting a baby.
I can't stop laughing at this clip of Biden greeting a baby dressed as a chicken at the WH Halloween event while the most OMINOUS music plays pic.twitter.com/RNkfh91E4k

Biden, who appeared to be dressed as himself, greeted a line of spirited families alongside a giant panda (his wife, First Lady Jill Biden). Things started out innocently enough. In footage posted to social media, the 81-year-old can be seen cooing at toddlers and chit-chatting with their parents, kissing a baby toe here and there. But in one video, Biden says hello to a baby dressed as a chicken and then starts chomping on its little chicken legs. Thus one of the last viral photos of his presidency — and perhaps my favorite yet — was born. President Biden: nibbler-in-chief.
President Biden and ... guess who ?! ????

For the Fox News viewers, I feel obligated to clarify that, obviously, President Biden has not actually injured any babies. In fact, the babies seemed absolutely tickled by the whole affair, and their parents laughed, too. Thank you, President Biden, for this image that will live in my mind rent-free until I die, probably.
