Biden pardons turkeys for final time as US President
While I did not vote for Biden in 2020, and I was glad Trump lost, I figured he could not do too much damage during one term and he would be too old to serve a second term. I also thought (I was wrong about this one) that the Republicans would finally be done with Trump and move on to much more worthy candidates.
“Biden acknowledged this was his last time being a part of the light-hearted event, saying he will allow the turkeys to keep calm and “gobble on”.
The 40 pound (18kg) birds he pardoned will now go back to the state of Minnesota to become “agricultural ambassadors”.
And Biden is off to New York to hold a “Friendsgiving” with Coast Guard members.
There were some 2,500 people gathered at the White House to see President Joe Biden pardon two turkeys: Blossom and Peach.
Biden joked the crowd were looking for a pardon themselves.
He offered some information on both turkeys, telling the crowd that Peach weighs 42 pounds and likes to cross country ski.
Meanwhile, Blossom weighs 40 pounds, loves cheese curds and watching boxing.
Biden also tells the crowd the turkeys were named after the Delaware state flower the Peach Blossom.”
Two turkeys, one of which has been pardoned and one who will be hoping for a pardon soon enough!
