A teacher in Iowa is upset that former Vice President Joe Biden grabbed her hands after she asked a question during a campaign event.

The video below shows Biden getting too close and touching the teacher who had asked a question.

It’s what Biden usually does with women and has been doing for decades.

He must think it’s a way to literally connect with voters but the teacher isn’t happy with Biden.

When interviewed by The Washington Examiner, the pre-school teacher said, “You need to ask first.”

The Washington Examiner interviewed the woman and videotaped the interaction from two different angles:

“I think that he means well but, you know, he grabbed my hands right away and that was really uncomfortable. He was very close and, in my mind, I’m like, this is part of our problem: Not recognizing that you need to ask first, or can I shake your hand? Not just grab your hands and hang onto them. That bothers me.

Watch Biden grab and hold her hands:

Here’s a different angle:

Hawkeye Area Labor Council’s Labor Day picnic in Cedar Rapids, Iowa was the event where the interaction happened. The preschool teacher asked Biden about Iowa’s collective bargaining laws when he reached for her hands. He delivered what she called a “canned” answer:

Biden is unaware of the fact that this isn’t ok in today’s pc world.

Is the Iowa teacher correct to say Biden should ask before touching?
