Handsy Biden Swats Away Bug From Meteorologist Stephanie Abrams' Chest During Weather Channel Interview
President Joe Biden sprung into action to brush off an insect from meteorologist Stephanie Abrams' jacket mid-interview during his appearance on the Weather Channel.
The commander-in-chief noticed the bug while being quizzed on his actions to combat climate change, RadarOnline.com has learned, questioning why he had not yet declared it a national emergency.
"Oh, you've got a bug on you," he said, flicking the pest away from Abrams' chest. "Thanks, appreciate it," she responded before segueing back to her original topic.
Biden, who has been blasted by critics for being too touchy, got the critter off while addressing what some Democrats in Congress want him to do during Wednesday's America's Morning Headquarters.
"Already done that," he told her. "Nationally, we've conserved more land, we've moved in to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord. We've passed the $360 billion climate control facility. We're moving. It is the existential threat."
"So, you've already declared that a national emergency?" Abrams asked again. "Well, practically speaking. Yes," Biden replied.
The interview had further significance as Biden designated an area around the Grand Canyon as a national monument. On Tuesday, he was seen viewing the South Rim.
Biden remarked at the magnificence and mistakenly referred to the Grand Canyon as one of the "nine" wonders of the world before correcting himself this week.
