Joe Biden During Female Senator’s Swearing-In: ‘Spread Your Legs, You’re Going to Be Frisked’

Joe Biden to Female Senator Heidi Heitkamps Husband: Spread Your Legs, Youre Going to Be Frisked

WASHINGTON, DC – JANUARY 03: U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) (L) participates in a reenacted swearing-in with her husband Darwin Lange (C) and U.S. Vice President Joe Biden in the Old Senate Chamber at the U.S. Capitol January 3, 2013 in Washington, DC. Biden swore in the newly-elected and re-elected senators earlier in the day on the floor of the current Senate chamber. Credit: Getty Images

Almost immediately after taking her oath of office on Thursday, incoming Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) and her family became the latest victim of a Joe Biden gaffe.

While posing for a picture with the vice president, he told her husband: “Spread your legs, you’re going to be frisked.” Biden was responding to one of the photographers who asked everyone to drop their hands to the sides.

“Drop your hands to your sides,” Biden added. “You say that to somebody in North Dakota, they think it’s a frisk.”

“They think you’re in trouble, right?” the vice president asked Heitkamp’s husband, who just shrugged at him.

Watch the clip of Joe being Joe via C-SPAN 2/Washington Free Beacon:

​This story has been updated to clarify the remark seems to have been directed at Heikamp’s husband.

    Joe Biden – Obama’s ” Life Insurance Policy ” ! Joe should be given a sobriety test every day, just to leave his house. The Dem-Lib-Prog-Soc-Comm Media just will not condemn this boy in men’s clothing.

      Ha ha, Joe being Joe. As Democrats would say. Republicans would say he’s a national disgrace. But maybe both are accurate. Surely it is not lost on all of us the timely gaffe’s the Vice President delivered at key political moments during Obama’s first 4 years.

      I get the sense that some of it was theater and some was just his awkward, inappropriate car salesman demeanor. The quintessential politician. But a man that would play such a role no matter the degree, is a national disgrace.

      This man is so vile. Degrades the office he holds but that is by design -Joe Biden is fruit of the agenda: Protect any deviant, pornographer, any negative cultural force in their effort to destroy the patriarchal society in favor or a matriarchal society – destroy biblical Christianity – create chaos and then step in to stop the chaos and replace with communism. If you destroy the family, you destroy the nation and undermine the morals.

      Our enemies can see our morality is our greatest strength. Freedom – Free Enterprise is fruit on the Tree of Morality. Marx was at war with God, sought to dethrone god and deify man. Family falls apart, church looses influence and a free people’s government collapses. The Ideas that made America great and unique came straight out of the bible.
      Founders understood this principle and so do our enemies. Freedom without morality destroys.
      “Out Constitution was made for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other” John Adams

      the “f” word is used now as a noun, verb, adverb most now can’t put a sentence together without it – there is so much filth in this culture its just background noise.

      All part of the Agenda to create an America so corrupt it stinks; use public policy to subvert America from inside, infiltrate and influence our culture driving us in a direction designed to destroy us. . If you don’t know all this you need to find out!

      He really is like Lloyd Bridges. I am not throwing any personal attacks here, but Joe Biden is too dumb to have the position of vice-president. Granted, Obama isn’t that smart either (especially in basic economic theory) but at-least he has a silver tongue to make up for it. Biden probably isn’t dumb in an every-day sense but this guy is the VICE PRESIDENT! Seriously, this is a guy who flunked his bar-exam 13 times before he passed. Granted, the bar exam is tough and is an accomplishment just to pass it but I expect the vice-president to pass it MUCH sooner than that. Add the fact that he says things that would get you fired from a corporate job on the same day and he is not really vice-president material. I almost (ALMOST) feel sorry for the guy.
