those who know we just had the most secure presidential in history and the lies about a “rigged election” must now stop.

the Bidens, who already know their way around the White House and don’t need a tour by the classless outgoing couple.

VP Mike Pence for staying with his last-minute duties with Congress during the invasion last week and then thanking people with appreciation visits.
