Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and Vice President Mike Pence exchanged pleasantries on Friday in a rare face-to-face meeting when both men attended a ceremony to honor the lives lost in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The two arrived in Manhattan at the World Trade Center memorial site and greeted one another with an elbow bump. The two briefly spoke ahead of the service.
Biden and Pence stood alongside their wives. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who ran an unsuccessful campaign for the Democratic nomination, stood between the two couples. Sens. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), as well as Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) were also in attendance and looked on as Biden and Pence exchanged hellos.

Pence went on to speak at a Tunnel to Towers Foundation event. He recognized those who lost their lives on 9/11 and their loved ones and read a Bible verse. When Pence finished speaking, a few in the crowd shouted "four more years" and applauded.

Waiting for the tirade from the tangerine Twitter twit.

(1,159 posts)Good grief. At a 9/11 memorial service they thought it appropriate to yell "four more years" and applaud.

(15,235 posts)Are they trying to imply that Schumer is mad at Biden for greeting Pence? BTW, is that Bloomberg on the far left?

(12,264 posts)the entire country. All the hatred, it started getting really bad during the tea party nonsense and it has just continued. I am a weirdo, I still have faith that someday both sides can be civil again. I know I know not going to happen but don't burst my bubble ok?
