Joe Biden's words are once again sparking controversy. The president came under fire after telling a young woman in California not to have a boyfriend until she turns 30.

"Now, a very important thing I told my daughters and granddaughters — no serious guys until you’re 30!," Biden told her at an event in Irvine (California). "Ok, I'll keep that in mind," the teenager replied.

"Creepy Joe is at it again"

The video went viral (with almost three million views), although minutes later it was removed from social media. Joe Biden's comment to the young woman generated criticism and backlash from the president's critics. "Creepy Joe is at it again," tweeted political analyst Benny Johnson.

Ian Haworth posted: "Can you imagine the media's response if Trump grabbed a teenage girl and whispered 'no serious guys until you're 30?????' Biden does it again... and again... and again, and the media laugh and says 'that's our Joe!"

Biden's troubling lapses

This is not the first time Joe Biden has starred in a similar episode. This week, the president incorrectly claimed that his late son Beau "lost his life in Iraq." However, although Joe Biden's son served in Iraq, he did not die there, but passed away from brain cancer in 2015.

In September, during a White House conference, the president sought out Congresswoman Jackie Walorski from the audience. Jackie, are you here? Biden asked... The congresswoman died a month earlier in a traffic accident.

Shortly before, in July, Biden suggested that he himself had cancer during a speech criticizing oil refineries. The White House had to take back the president's words.
