President Joe Biden Recalls Having a Very Close Relationship With the Greek Church – Twitchy

April 6, 2024

As we all know, President Joe Biden will say anything to pander to his audience. As we reported earlier, he visited the site of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse and noted that the Biden family went way back in that bay, back in the mid-1800s. He also let the families of those who were killed in the bridge collapse that he, too, knows what it’s like to lose a child (though he didn’t specify if Beau had died in Iraq this time — these weren’t military families.

We know from his visit to Puerto Rico that Biden was “sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community” back in Scranton. He’s also a devout Catholic who attended a black church regularly and worked with his fellow congregants on civil rights.”I got raised in the black church,” Biden told the Rainbow PUSH coalition. (“Not a joke!”)

This week, the White House observed Greek Independence Day with Archbishop Elpidophoros of America. Not surprisingly, Biden shared with the audience how he’d had a very close relationship with the Greek Church.

One of the things that I — I learned early on was that I had a very close relationship with the Greek American community — for real — in the heart and — I mean, real — and the church there as well.

And I think, if there were — I forget the exact number of votes, but I think every Greek American in Delaware voted for me because they — (laughter) — no, no, no, no, no — (applause).

By the way, as some of the Delawareans would tell you, that’s where I acquired a nickname I’m very proud of: I am Joe “Biden-opoulos.” (Laughter and applause.) That’s the nickname I got.
