Joe Biden,State Of The Union,Liberalism
The Biden White House announced Tuesday morning that 25 "guests" will join Jill Biden and second gentleman Doug Emhoff in the first lady's box at tonight's State of the Union Address.
"Each of these individuals were invited by the White House because they personify issues or themes to be addressed by the President in his speech, or they embody the Biden-Harris Administration’s policies at work for the American people," the White House said in its announcement.
If that is the case, this is shaping up to be another divisive speech from the "unity" president.
Here are just a few of the people on the guest list and the issues they represent, including "insurrection," homosexual marriage, abortion, guns, AIDS, DREAMers, and police brutality.
The descriptions of the guests, in quotations, come straight from White House website.
