First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, husband of the most popular president in U.S. history, has penned an op-ed piece for CNN that seeks to end the bloodshed in Ukraine by making a personal appeal to Russian president Vladimir Putin.
“The thing about grief is that it veils one’s face. It’s like a haze has descended,” Jill Biden wrote in the piece. “The tears of the mothers stay permanently on the edges of their eyes, as if they can barely contain their sadness. They grasp their children’s hands or touch their hair as if they can’t bear to lose the physical connection. They wear brave faces, but their emotion is portrayed in the slope of their shoulders, the nervousness in their bodies.”
The esteemed Dr. Biden goes on to relate some of her experiences from her recent trip to Ukraine.
Dr. Biden quotes one Ukrainian woman as saying there are “no borders for our hearts,”
Jill also described herself as “carrying the hearts of the American people with me.”
“Olena Zelenska, the wife of Ukraine’s President, came out of hiding, leaving her own children, to visit with me and ask for help for the people of her country,” Biden wrote. “She didn’t ask me for food or clothing or weapons. She asked me to help her get mental health care for all those suffering from the effects of Vladimir Putin’s senseless and brutal war.”
“Mr. Putin, please end this senseless and brutal war,” Jill Biden concluded.
Jill’s husband Joe Biden appeared to claim on Tuesday that the Democrat Party controls all three branches of U.S. government.
“First thing is, we’re in power,” Biden said. “That’s the first thing. And you’re justifiably right, we control all three branches of government.”
