Joe Biden had a range of predictably hilarious and creepy moments during his swearing-in of new and reelected senators this week.
However, one exchange during freshman senator Ben Sasse’s swearing-in takes the cake — and provides a juicy 2016 preview moment.
Biden was meeting a 95-year old decorated veteran who’s related to Sasse.
Biden and the war hero exchange pleasantries . . .
He said, “You are looking good!”
. . . and then the vet pulled Biden in close . . .
. . . and said:

Biden’s reaction:
That is one happy Biden.
The senator’s wife, Melissa, attempted to smooth the situation over.
“He’s crude sometimes.”
Biden’s response:
Ahhh . . . 2016.
