This photo of Joe Biden talking to a homeless man is going viral

By DAILY MAIL ONLINE REPORTER

PUBLISHED: 19:54 EDT, 10 March 2018 | UPDATED: 05:08 EDT, 11 March 2018
A candid photo of former Vice President Joe Biden speaking with a homeless man has gone viral on Facebook.

“Character is about what you do when no one is watching,” the caption reads.

'I'm not exactly sure what he gave the homeless man, but he appeared to write something down on a piece of paper inside the movie theater, which he then proceeded to give the homeless man outside,' Caleb Baca, the man who took the picture, told the news station.


Joe Biden took his granddaughter to the movies in Georgetown last night.....on his way out he stopped to speak w/ a homeless man. A bystander took this candid shot. Character is about what you do when no one is watching.

There's a video of Ivanka from years ago about homeless, I'll try to find it.

his honesty. When he says "I care about you," he's not spewing political speak, he means it, cameras or not.

The 'author' claimed the area was too well to do, to have homeless.

If the photo was of Trump talking to a homeless man I might think it was a set up but Biden comes across like a genuinely nice man. He reminds me of some of the old school Catholic liberals I knew growing up and still know today.

and doubt a former VP is looking to gain anything from a set up
