Biden’s Irish great-great-great-grandfather was named Edward Blewitt

Edward Blewitt alright.

BelfastTelegraph-

Mr Biden walked the streets of Ballina, Co Mayo to see where his great-great-great grandfather lived during Ireland’s famine before emigrating to the US.

The visit, part of a six day trip for him to trace his roots before leaving office, ran several hours behind schedule as he spent time shaking hands and kissing some of the thousands of well-wishers on the streets.

After lunch with Taoiseach Enda Kenny and relatives from the Biden and Blewitt families, Mr Biden gave a glowing report of the reconnection with his ancestry.

 

Mr Biden’s great-great-great-grandfather Edward Blewitt and great-great-grandfather Owen Finnegan both left Ireland in the famine.

One of the distant cousins, Clodagh Butler, of the Blewitt connections in Ballina, described meeting the vice president.

“He seemed like such a lovely man and he had such a good focus on the children as well,” she said.

!more!
You know, I think he has a little TOO much focus on the kids.

  1. “he spent time shaking hands and kissing some of the thousands of well-wishers on the streets.”

    Stupid micks.

    It’s okay. I’m part Irish. I can say that. 😊

  2. We are actually in Ireland right now and Biden dropped into Westport where we are staying last night with his 21 car motorcade and HUGE protection detail. And guess what? He has a body double!! We have pics of the guy who comes out first! The Prime minster on the other hand had no secrurity and spoke with and took pictures with my husband and daughter… in fact they couldn’t get him to stop talking (maybe he was happy to get away from Biden). Anywho…the locals we have talked to are grumbling because the they are footing the $5 million bill for additional security he requires…clearly they are not fans of the huge carbon and cost foot print Biden is leaving.🙄😒
