This Tuesday, moments before Joe Biden’s State of the Union address First Lady and the vice president’s wife, Kamala Harris, shared a kiss that set the Internet ablaze.
Did Jill Biden really kiss Kamala Harris’ husband Douglas Emhoff on the mouth? That’s the topic of fascination across the Atlantic this Wednesday, February 8. The kiss in question is believed to have taken place shortly before Joe Biden’s speech on Tuesday and left many onlookers stunned. In a video that has been circulating on social media for several hours, we see the first lady approaching the vice president’s husband, shaking his hand before kissing the corner of his lips (and this without any apparent discomfort). What is the concern of more than one?
Was that kiss on the mouth…or right next to it? Netizens, incredibly, carry out their investigation with screenshots and footage taken from other angles.
“The Smooch of Union” mocked the conservative tabloid New York Post, for whom there is no doubt that the two kissed “on the lips”, and who notes that “no one around was moved by the kiss”. Same story on Fox News. The American media, known for their conservative and pro-Trump positions, published the video with the following caption: “Jill Biden and Douglas Emhoff kiss on the lips.” The White House has not yet responded to the “unfortunate gesture”.
“She forgot she has a husband”
Kellyanne Conway, a former adviser to Donald Trump, took the opportunity to rail against the anti-pandemic camp. “Wow Covid, it’s really over,” she tweeted, sharing a photo of the kiss.
“Trumpist” Arthur Schwartz, for his part, wonders about the circumstances of this failure. “[Jill Biden] forgot she has a husband lol”, responds one of the Twitter users. When the other answers with humor. “It’s not surprising. In The Sims 4, such things happen all the time. Free love, man.” Some, again, are anticipating Kamala Harris’ reaction to the news with plenty of memes. Either way, the internet is rejoicing over this stolen (and already controversial) kiss.
