Is Joe Biden seen biting a young girl's cheek in a photo? No, that's not true: The man in the photo used in a meme claiming Biden is a "senile old pervert" is actually Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the president of Mexico. The image is a screenshot from a video of López Obrador campaigning and it was shared on his official Twitter account.
The claim appeared as a meme in a post (archived here) shared on Instagram on September 17, 2020, with the introductory message "Democrats, do you REALLY want this senile old pervert in the White House?😁🕶🇺🇸". It featured the image of López Obrador biting the girl's cheek with the text:
