During the event, Biden was seen making the Sign of the Cross as a woman mentioned Florida’s abortion laws. This gesture was met with strong disapproval from Catholic Vote, a group that condemned Biden’s actions as “vile” and incompatible with the Catholic faith. The organization’s president, Brian Burch, expressed deep disappointment in Biden’s public support for abortion, describing it as a mockery of the Christian belief in the sanctity of life.
This. Is. VILE!

In addition to criticizing Biden’s actions, Burch also called attention to the former president, Donald Trump, who has been a vocal supporter of the anti-abortion movement. Biden took the opportunity to target Trump during the event, blaming him for the implementation of strict abortion laws in Florida and attributing the situation to the former president. Democrats are hopeful that addressing the abortion issue will help them secure victories in the upcoming elections.
Overall, Biden’s actions at the event have reignited tensions between the Catholic community and the political sphere, with many expressing their dismay at his public stance on abortion. The controversy surrounding Biden’s support for abortion continues to fuel the ongoing discussions and debates surrounding the topic.
