President Joe Biden bizarrely bit three babies as he greeted children at his final Halloween party at the White House.
Biden - infamous for his playful interaction with children at public events - also feigned fright at the creepy costumes of his young visitors alongside his wife Jill who was dressed in a full-body panda suit.
The 81-year-old president was pictured biting the leg of a baby dressed as a turkey, chomping the toe of a child in an ice cream cone costume and nibbling at a third baby wearing a blue dress.
The toothy display received a divided response on social media where some pointed to the grandfather of seven’s lighthearted nature while others found the interactions too close for comfort.
The theme of the event was 'Hallo-read' in a nod to the first lady's 40 years of teaching. Jill Biden handed out copies of the kids' book '10 Spooky Pumpkins' while the president handed out candy with the White House seal and his signature.
In addition to the local students and military-connected children who got their treats from the first couple, several administration staff brought their kids to have one last fright fest at the White House.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken brought his kids for the fun. OMB director Sholanda Young, who got a big hug from the president, brought her daughter.
The president also took time to nuzzle the baby of his aide Ashley Williams. The baby was being held by his long time staffer and current deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini.
The president happily chatted with the kids as he handed out the sweet treats, sometimes taking so long a line of kids piled up waiting for him.
