It happened just before Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Tuesday and left many onlookers dumbfounded: First lady Jill Biden greeted the vice president’s husband with a kiss pressed to the corner lips, igniting social networks.
After entering to applause, Jill Biden walked up to Doug Emhoff, husband of Kamala Harris, and shook his hand.
Then came right after the controversial and now viral moment: They sure do exchange a kiss, but was it on the mouth…or just off?, incredulous netizens wondered.
“The smooch of the Union”, quipped the conservative tabloid “New York Post”, for which there is no doubt that the two kissed “on the lips”.
Same story at Fox News, which published the video with the following caption: “Jill Biden and Douglas Emhoff kiss on the lips”.
Kellyanne Conway, former adviser to Donald Trump, took the opportunity to tackle the opposing camp on the pandemic.
“Wow, COVID is really over,” she tweeted, sharing a photo of the kiss.
