Biden says his great-grandfather was accused of being in a group of killer coal miners in long-winded anecdote

President Biden claimed in a long-winded anecdote on Monday that his great-grandfather was rumored to have been part of a group of coal miners that would kill anti-Catholic mine foremen and lay the dead bodies “on the doorstep” of their families’ homes.

Vice President Kamala Harris nodded along as the 81-year-old president spun the strange yarn during his remarks to union workers in Pittsburgh, Pa., joking that he was “disappointed” to learn that his great-grandfather Edward Francis Blewitt was not a member of the “Molly Maguires.”

“I remember when my great-grandfather was only the second Catholic elected statewide in the state Senate here in Pennsylvania,” Biden began. “And I remember they talked about — when they’d run against him in 1906 — they said, ‘Guess what? He’s a Molly Maguire.’

His presidency should have cured America of Republicrats and RINOs for ever.

He also probably accuses the White House staff of stealing his favorite World’s Fair spoon.

Don’t laugh; this senile, corrupt, lying fool is still President of the US for the next five months. The leader of the free world and yet he couldn’t get or keep a job as a WalMart greeter.

Kamala kept the fact that POTUS is out of his mind, hidden from the American people!

It is dereliction of duty by those in government who won’t do anything to remove this dementia-ridden criminal. Since so many of them are themselves compromised one way or another, I wouldn’t expect anything different from these pol losers.

So is this the father or grandfather of Uncle Bosie, so tragically eaten by cannibalism? I get confused by his numerous colorful forebears

Surprised that Biden didn't express disappointment that his grandaddy was not a confirmed member of the KKK.

It’s amazing the lengths that the left msm go to in order to protect someone so compromised mentally. But let president Trump slur a word or 2 due to dental work, and the media go mental demanding he be removed for unfitness

I didn’t see or read anything about what this. Was he trying to describe how far corruption ran back in his family?

His great grandmother was Helen of Troy and he climbed el Capitan carrying a kid in an iron lung, and beat the crap out of corn pop and they made him Prom King.

Probably because he WAS a confirmed member of the KKK.

>Molly Maguires

Back when unions were needed, at some level, to improve coal mine safety, they were a bunch of pro-union terrorists. Industry moguls hired the Pinkertons who put them down. A. Conan Doyle wrote a book with Sherlock Holmes taking them on instead so it was newsworthy back in the day.

Rather than Biden at least seeming to joke about what he said was a lamented non-connection (unlike the Kennedys raising funds for IRA back in the day,) what I found interesting was that 3 generations back his clan was already in politics.

Jo Jo. Stop your lying, biatch. Dad’s entire side of the family were coalminers from Czechoslovakia who lived and worked in Scranton, Carbondale and Simpson, Pennsylvania after they came to America legally back in 1896. This is just another one of your wet dreams you’re spewing. You’re FOS.
