BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – President Biden had an awkward, flirty moment during a video conference event with health care workers in Arizona, during which he stopped to compliment one nurse for her youthful appearance — even gushing that she looks “like a freshman.”
“Are you a freshman at the university?” Biden asked Brittney Hayes at the end of a conversation in which she had laid out the process for getting shots to people at the State Farm Stadium vaccination site in Glendale.
“Noo. No,” said Hayes, who had described herself as being from the Arizona State University at the start of the talk — but who made clear she was the “head charge nurse” at the vaccination site.
He later stated in a tweet. “I apologize to Ms. Hayes if I made her uncomfortable. Whether she’s a freshman or head charge nurse, I want her to know if given the opportunity, I’d sneak up behind her and respectfully smell her hair.”
