An image which shows former Vice President Joe Biden groping Stephanie Carter, wife of former Defense Secretary Ash Carter, during a government ceremony went viral on social media. It is confirmed that this picture has been manipulated. The anonymous user uses a photograph that former White House reporter Nedra Pickler took in February 2015 during the swearing-in of Defense Secretary Ash Carter. Following is the original picture:

Even, many media houses had criticized Biden for getting a little too close to Carter during the ceremony. NBC reported: As Carter began speaking in the Roosevelt Room, Biden beckoned Stephanie Carter from across the room, then put both hands on her shoulders as her husband thanked Biden for presiding over the ceremony. Biden’s hands lingered for roughly 20 seconds until he leaned in and whispered in her ear.
Ash Carter’s Reaction
Ash Carter responded as, “Oh, I laughed. I laughed. I laughed. They know each other extremely well, and we’re great friends with the Bidens.”
