Context in reference to image 'A' above - Stephanie Carter explains: "By the time then-Vice President Biden had arrived, he could sense I was uncharacteristically nervous - and quickly gave me a hug. After the swearing in, as Ash was giving remarks, he [Joe Biden] leaned in to tell me 'thank you for letting him [Ash Carter] do this' and kept his hands on my shoulders as a means of offering his support. But a still shot taken from a video -- misleadingly extracted from what was a longer moment between close friends -- sent out in a snarky tweet -- came to be the lasting image of that day."
