Joe Biden made plenty of news throughout his time in the White House, as folks slowly began to uncover that there’s a shady side to President Biden. The 46th POTUS has been accused of exaggerating claims of his work as a civil rights activist, of having a terrible temper, and of praising segregationists. Similarly, numerous other Biden family members have been embroiled in headline-making drama. Most notably, Hunter Biden caused a stir with everything from his drug confessions to his romantic relationship with his brother’s widow, Hallie Biden.
The first lady also hasn’t been spared from appearing in the news for all the wrong reasons. Dr. Jill Biden (who received a Doctor of Education degree in 2007) has had many controversial moments of her own. Things like her awkward behavior after Joe’s dicey debate performance in June 2024 have gotten critics talking and turned people against her. What’s more, it seems that, just like her husband, she too has a shady side.
Was her love story with Joe Biden actually an affair?
Jill and Joe Biden say they met on a blind date set up by one of Joe Biden’s brothers. As Joe told Meet Cutes NYC, it was 1975 when he received a call from Frank Biden telling him, “I go to school with this woman — you’ll love her. She is beautiful, and she doesn’t like politics.” The then-33-year-old senator was instantly smitten with the 24-year-old college student, and the rest is history. It’s a sweet story, but Jill’s ex-husband, Bill Stevenson, claims it isn’t true. Speaking with Inside Edition, Stevenson said that Jill and Joe Biden met through him in 1972 — three years earlier than they claimed.
Catholics are required to get an annulment after a divorce in order to remarry in the church. If they are marrying a divorced person from another faith, or no professed faith, that person needs to have their prior marriage annulled also. This sometimes grinds the gears of the non-Catholic. but that was the process. The annulment process takes time and isn’t free. If successful, it finds that one or more of the requirements for a life long marriage in Catholic eyes wasn’t met when the marriage was contracted.
Joe was a widower so he was free to remarry in the Church as long as his bride was in the clear; she wouldn’t have been as a divorcee from outside the faith. She would have needed an annulment. The process is not a drive-by window. Her ex-spouse would have been contacted to comment, although divorce being what it is many decline to participate for a host of reasons.
IIRC the love birds got married fairly quickly after their supposed meeting, in NY by a chaplain at the UN. As a priest he would have been obligated to inquire about past marriages and should have asked for documentation about the annulment. Wouldn’t surprise me if there was none or strings were pulled.
Joe & Jill being Joe & Jill. Fie on them both,
This is true. I was contacted by my ex-spouse about 25 years after we had divorced. We were married in the Catholic church. She was on her 3rd marriage (I think #2 had passed since their divorce) and contacted me to fill out papers from her local diocese, so she could take communion. I was happy to do it and happy to see that she had possibly found Jesus!
Jill is as shady and corrupt as crooked Hillary and Moooooschelle!
