It is so nice having a First Lady who cares about people and who is not a sex worker

Four Ukrainian children were transported to the United States for cancer treatment with the help of the US State Department and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said Tuesday, and they will meet with first lady Jill Biden on Friday.
According to Price, the State Department helped to airlift the children and "some of their immediate family members from Poland to Memphis International Airport, where they were met and transported to St. Jude."
"There, the patients will be able to safely resume critical cancer therapy disrupted by the Kremlin's aggression. They will receive the specialized care they desperately need, and their family members will be afforded sustenance, security, and support from St. Jude," he said in a statement.
In a tweet, Secretary of State Antony Blinken noted that "Children are among the most vulnerable in a crisis," saying the State Department was "humbled" to help airlift them.

OP
If Jill Biden were a sex worker I think she would still care about people. It's who she is.
