I’m still seeing quite a few posts asking why Joe Biden has “a Chinese bodyguard”.
He doesn’t. That is David Cho, he is Korean-American, one of the most respected and experienced members of the Secret Service who has worked for administrations both Republican and Democrat.
Well, this has aged badly.
