Joe Biden says great-grandfather left Ireland 'because of what the Brits had been doing'
https://www.express.co.uk/news/world...conference-ont
JOE BIDEN told attendees at his first press conference his great-grandfather left Ireland "because of what the Brits had been doing".
The President was responding to a question on why a there has been a surge of immigrants crossing the southern border, and referred to his Irish ancestry. US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials apprehended more than 100,000 migrants in February, 28 percent more than January.
Mr Biden compared his ancestor's journey to the US to those crossing the southern border when trying to explain the difficulties migrants face.
He told reporters: “When my great grandfather got on a coffin ship in the Irish sea, the expectation was he going to live long enough to get to the United States of America.

Grace, you're one of my fave people on the Apricity Forum and Ethnic Celebrities. I greatly enjoy your comments. They're very informative. I learn a lot from them.
I must part company with you here in a respectful way. Slow Joe is damaging and destroying the USA as fast and as much as he can. He presents an existential threat to all of us. He brings nothing good.
I understand why Democrats would celebrate JFK's ancestral ties to Ireland. I appreciate why Republicans would honor Ronald Reagan's Irish roots. I get why Donald Trump (mother is a true Gael) fans might be proud of Mike Pence's large amounts of "green blood". I wouldn't claim Joe Biden, even though we both have forebears from County Laois.
Slow Joe has a long record of dishonesty and hypocrisy. He's not an honorable son of Eire. My guess is that the good Irish people are brainwashed by leftist propaganda news outlets. If Joe Biden visits them, they're more than welcome to keep him!

No problems at all. This thread was not meant to be political as there are other threads on here where Joe Biden's politics can be discussed. It is only about his Irish ancestry and connections in Ireland. There's a lot of things on which I don't agree with him also.

I have heard from albanians that the Irish are very good people ... and I believe it is true because albanians do not easily praise other peoples
"Shqiptar i vërtetë e i mirë është ay që vë gjithënjë e kurëdo kombërinë përpara fesë, nuk ka vëllezër ata që ka në besën e tij, por ata që ka në kombëri të tij.” – Sami Frashëri"
"A true and good Albanian is the one who always and everywhere puts the nation before the religion, there are no brothers who are in his faith, but those who are in his nation." - Sami Frashëri "

It's all good. I just hate it when politicians are condescending and patronizing to people in order to get on their good sides. Joe Biden repeatedly does this with Black Americans as if they're children with special needs. He's not above pulling the same kind of blarney on Irish people.

What is there to like about Joe Biden? He literally epitomizes everything wrong with American politicians. The dude would sell his own mother for votes and power.
