Joe Biden
Biden shared a few words as he presented McCain with the medal. He said “I want to say, John, how much your example of service and duty, courage and loyalty, inspired my Beau.”
Biden also made remarks to McCain’s battle with cancer and his own son who served. He said “John, when he received his cancer diagnosis, he also found strength in the courage you’ve demonstrated throughout your whole life.”
His son was Beau Biden who passed away in 2015.
Biden talked about how his son had admired McCain. This made John McCain very emotional. He shed a few tears as he listened to Biden.
Biden read an old speech from McCain which sums up where their loyalty lies. He read concerning America and what it represents.
He said it is an “International beacon of liberty and a defender of the dignity of all human beings, and the right to freedom and justice.”
This alone is reason enough for these men to come together. The President has attacked the First Amendment in recent days.
He had made a verbal attack on NBC News for what he considered fake news. He asked that their license be revoked.
Time will tell if these men will be a real threat to Trump’s policies.
