Vice President Joe Biden joked on Tuesday night during a reception at the Naval Observatory that he would understand if someone didn’t want to have a photo taken with him.
“I’m going to be in that room if anybody wants a photograph,” Biden at the Black History Month reception, a video of which was posted on Wednesday by Politico. “I would not blame you if you didn’t.”
The crowd laughed at Biden’s joke.
The vice president has found himself in a number of awkward photo ops during his time in office. Most recently, he was spotted rubbing the shoulders and whispering in the ear of Defense Secretary Ashton Carter’s wife during the secretary’s swearing-in ceremony.
