AA Meetings in the White House? Fat Chance!!

WILL HUNTER BIDEN BE INVITED TO SPEAK? –

June 20, 2024 – Is America ready to elect a recovering addict as president? How about one who wants to hold 12-step recovery meetings in the White House? RFK Jr. hopes to be that president, the onetime heroin user saying he long ago left behind his dependency on “drugs, sex, alcohol or extreme behavior” to balm a wounded psyche.

Thanks in large part to more than 40 years of 12-step meetings, Kennedy says, “I don’t have a big empty hole that I’m trying to fill with things outside of me.”

The independent presidential candidate in recent days has said he wants to use his own 14-year addiction to heroin and more than four decades of recovery to help bring a new level of attention to the nation’s addiction crisis.
