Speaker Schwartzkopf thanks the Counter-Protesters.

From the Biden Funeral Amazing Grace Protection Facebook page, Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf offered this message of thanks:

I want to thank all of you that showed up yesterday to stand up for the Biden family and all the Delawareans who came to pay their respects to Beau and his family. Your decision to peacefully stand up to protect the Biden family from the hateful words and signs that those nitwits from Westboro Church were displaying shows the class and respect that we feel should be shown when a family and state is mourning their loss. I know the Biden family is not in a position to comment on what you did yesterday but, I would like to say thank you for standing up for all of us. With the exception of the spilled coffee, you pulled off a victory over hate and ignorance. By the way, if that gentleman is found guilty I would like to pay his fine.

I immediately commented to clarify that the person who spilled the coffee on a Westboro protester as they were leaving was not part of any the groups who made up the counter protest, but rather an observer standing across the street by the Sunoco station. That did not change the Speaker’s tune at all.

I’ll still pay his fine! Thank you all.

So, Mr. Richard Pierce (who the News Journal says is the man who spilled the coffee), get in touch with the Speaker. LOL.
