I don't think this is Biden's fault so I want to get that out of the way. After the People magazine story it looked like Politico was doing a minor conflict of interest story. His girlfriend informed Axios when the relationship begun & moved to other campaigns. At some point I can trust people to keep their personal views independent from their ability to do their job so I have no issues with that.

I do think his remarks were wrong especially the "jealous" part but his job as a deputy press secretary is to avoid getting the administration involved in controversies like this so he failed at that part of his job. He should have done a no comment.
