Former VP Joe Biden Is Heckled Outside Church
On Sunday, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden attended St. Joseph on the Brandywine, the church he belongs to in Greenville, Delaware. Though the visit wasn’t a campaign stop, several protesters held signs addressing Biden’s support for abortion rights. “No Catholic can vote for Joe Biden,” one sign read. A reporter tweeted that chants from hecklers included, “Repent for your soul” and “Joe! You’re a disgrace to the Catholic faith!”
