President Joe Biden spent the day in Greensboro on Thursday, April 14, and that gave the president an opportunity to converse with another very powerful Democrat: Chairman of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners Skip Alston.
Alston was one of a select group of people who got to talk with the president when he came to town last week to visit NC A&T State University and make a speech.
Alston was part of the welcoming crew when Air Force One landed at Piedmont Triad International Airport.
“I met him on the tarmac and was able to speak with him briefly,” Alston said.
How did Alston use his time with the most powerful man in the country?
Answer: The same way he did when Alston got a chance to speak with Vice President Kamala Harris in Greensboro in April of 2021. Alston invited Biden – as he did Harris a year ago – to visit the International Civil Rights Center and Museum in downtown Greensboro.
In 2021, Harris indeed changed her plans on the fly and visited the museum in the old Woolworth’s building where the civil rights Sit-in movement began in 1960.
Alston said that Biden told him he would see if a visit to the museum could be arranged and mentioned it to a member of his staff. Alston said he later got the news that the president’s schedule – and security and logistical considerations – meant a visit to the museum wasn’t feasible on this trip to Greensboro.
Alston, one of the museum’s founders, has been trying to draw attention to the museum – especially in recent months – as the museum embarks on a major expansion and an attempt to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Alston said that, during the conversation, Biden told Alston that he, Biden, had been a county commissioner at the beginning of his political career.
Alston also said that Biden was very sharp and alert – that is, he’s nothing like he’s constantly portrayed on Fox News.
“The man is in good shape – he’s very spry,” Alston said.
Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughan and Alston got to ride in the president’s motorcade from the airport to downtown Greensboro. Alston said that was a real treat.
According to Alston, the two men had met once before – when Biden was running as the vice-presidential candidate on the ticket with former President Barack Obama.
Aw what a special moment for king skip a visit with slo joe at taxpayers expense. Never doubt that skip won’t use taxpayer money for his pleasure. Slo joe does a democrat vote stumbling trip at taxpayer expense and skip and queen nancy get a limo ride What a great country we live in.
Lol….” very sharp and alert”. 2 of a kind.
My thoughts exactly–two opportunists having a love fest on the taxpayer’s dime. And did you notice the ‘Squatter-in-Chief’ doing his usual ‘I was ___’fill in the blanks–whether it’s a truck driver or a lifeguard, ole Joey ‘has done it’!
If skip thinks slo joe is “sharp and alert” just makes me wonder how “sharp and alert “ skip is. Maybe he’s pre -dementia
Aw…2 jokers just passing the day away with NO MASKS. Overpaid trash in motion
too bad Skip wasn’t available to shake the presidents hand after his speech.He could’ve been a hero.
As long as he knew who side to stand on.
One crooked thug, thief to another.
“Alston said that, during the conversation, Biden told Alston that he, Biden, had been a county commissioner at the beginning of his political career.”
This is laughable–tell me, is there anything this ‘Squatter-in-Chief’ HASN’T done? Seems no matter the subject, Joey has done it. Is there anything genuine in his history besides being a taxpayer supported parasite?
“very sharp and alert” “The man is in good shape – he’s very spry.” Alston said. Go to YOUTUBE and you can see numerous videos of Biden wandering around like a lost dog. At A&T, he finished speaking and then turned to his right and extended his hand to shake with someone who wasn’t there. During the speech, he said that last year was 2020. Local media has reported that there were large crowds, there were not. Most of the folks who showed up were local politicians and a captive audience of A&T students. Normally, the motorcade route is known, so that citizens can line the streets and wave. This was not disclosed because it would be embarrassing that very few would show up. The excuse was “for security purposes.” Doubtful that Biden is in any danger, since the alternative is even worse. Even liberals are beginning to realize that Biden and minions are destroying our economy.
It’s not only Guilford County Commissioner “Skip” Alston who says that the President is very “spry” – it’s also the President’s invisible friend, Harvey the six feet tall invisible rabbit, with whom he clearly shook hands on the podium.
You didn’t see Harvey? I bet you didn’t see the Emperor’s finely crafted exquisite clothing, either.
Let’s see, 0+0=0
Lunatic Democrats of a feather flock together.
Hero’s
So Joe had to come to NC to get any recognition after Obumer and Comila ignored him at the White House gathering in March. Good for yippy Skippy and queen Nancy for giving him the attention he craves!!!!
Normal citizens ignore the occupant of the White House.
I haven’t seen this much hate for a president since…..well…..since Trump. lmao
Mr. Alston shouldn’t get too excited. Joe, like all good pirates, has a girl in every port. Prez’s favorite is still the esteemed Rep. Clyburn from SC who unlocked his presidential run.
Someone should do a cost analysis to show us how much it cost the taxpayers for this little meet and greet. Nevermind the cost to fly in to Greensboro, look at how many resources were tied up from other State & Local agencies taking them away from where they were needed for the day & the extra overtime costs involved.
Skip is a predator living off the taxpayers money just like Joe has always done. Two of a kind. Skip wants more money to come into the museum so it can be diverted into his direction.
