President Biden was 'extremely gracious' during bill signing, Walorski's brother says

[douglas9]

A brief White House press release issued Friday was the only indication President Joe Biden had signed a bill renaming a Mishawaka veterans affairs clinic in honor of the late U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski.

The intimate, as far as Oval Office meetings go, nature of the signing didn’t surprise Keith Walorski — Jackie Walorski’s older brother — given the President’s slip-up earlier that week when he mistakenly called out for the deceased congresswoman at a conference.


However, Keith said Biden was “extremely gracious” to his family during the signing and apologized for the gaffe.

“He brought the ‘Where’s Jackie?’ comment and basically said, ‘I’m sorry that that went out like it did,’ and that it was basically a slip. He was the one to bring it up, he apologized and we basically told him we were fine, we had no hard feelings about that,” Keith recalled.

When Biden first broached the topic, Martha Walorski, Keith and Jackie's mother, quickly interjected that the President didn't have to ask where Jackie was, because "she's with Jesus in Heaven."

The gaffe wasn’t intentional or malicious, Keith feels, and said he felt the President’s apology was genuine given Biden’s first wife, Neilia Biden, and daughter were killed in a car crash in 1972.

1. Integrity and courage .......

admitting mistakes and apologizes for them. Something the Republicans refuse to do.

2. It seems like they don't even understand the concept

3. Genuinely loving

Unlike TFG, Joe is real. What is fake concern?

Someone who is proud to be humble.

4. 'Biden apologizes to family of deceased Congresswoman after momentarily forgetting death'

That won't be a headline you'll see splashed across major newspapers or running across the 'crawler' at the bottom of newscasts. Because it is a very HUMAN thing to do.
But after 'the last guy' publicly insulted the memory of a deceased Congressman by insinuating that the Congressman was in hell, there was this headline:
"Trump's remark about congressman being in hell was 'just riffing'"

I have no patience for MAGA's having fun at Joe's innocent blunder.

5. That is how President Joe Biden operates

President Biden is a very nice man in person. The above post is consistent with the President Biden I got to meet

6. Biden brought up his gaffe first, apologized, and made amends

Compare and contrast with any Republican in the last 10 years after making an insensitive or downright rude comment, intentionally or unintentionally. Oh, but President Biden dropped an f-bomb while talking to a disaster victim.
