The kiss on the mouth of Jill Biden and the husband of Kamala Harris: the video that disturbs America

Did Jill Biden really kiss Kamala Harris' husband Douglas Emhoff on the mouth?

This is the subject that fascinates across the Atlantic, this Wednesday, February 8.

Said kiss allegedly happened just before Joe Biden's State of the Union address on Tuesday and left many onlookers dumbfounded.

In a video that has been around social networks for a few hours, we see the First Lady approaching the vice-president's husband, shaking his hand before greeting him with a kiss on the corner of the lips (and this, without apparent discomfort).

What disconcert more than one.

Was that kiss on the mouth... or right next to it?

Internet users, incredulous, conduct their investigation with screenshots and shots taken from other angles.

“The Union smooch,” quipped the conservative tabloid

, for which there is no doubt that the two kissed “on the lips” and who notes that “nobody next to them seemed baffled by the kiss”.

Same story at Fox News.

The American media, conservative and known for its pro-Trump positions, published the video with the following caption: “Jill Biden and Douglas Emhoff kissing on the lips”.

For the time being, the White House has not reacted to what would seem to be an “unfortunate gesture”.

“She forgot she had a husband”

Kellyanne Conway, former adviser to Donald Trump, took the opportunity to tackle the opposing camp on the pandemic.

"Wow, the Covid, it's really over," she tweeted, sharing a photo of the kiss.

For his part, the “Trumpist” Arthur Schwartz wonders about the circumstances of this failure.

“[Jill Biden] forgot she had a husband lol,” one Twitter user replies.

When another retorts with humor: “Not surprised.

This kind of thing happens all the time in The Sims 4. Free love, man.”

Some, again, anticipate in advance the reaction of Kamala Harris on learning the news, with a lot of memes.

In any case, the Web revels in this stolen (and already controversial) kiss.
