ONE FOR HISTORY BUFFS THAT I BET YOU DID NOT KNOW - SM

Posted: Mar 3rd, 2021 - 9:40 am

In 1975, President Ford was left to manage the difficult ending of the Vietnam War. President Ford went to Congress for a relief package to allow American personnel and our allies to evacuate. However, there was ONE US SENATOR who opposed any such support. The result was the embarrassing and hurried evacuation from the roof of the American embassy in Saigon.

This senator reveled in the embarrassment and did everything he could to leverage it politically against Ford.  Despite the efforts of this U.S .Senator--President Ford managed to  rescue 1,500 South Vietnamese allies prior to the country's fall. Had President Ford not acted quickly, these people would have been  targeted and slaughtered for their support for America. When they arrived in America, President Ford asked Congress for a package to assist these refugees to integrate into American society. That SAME troublesome SENATOR TORPEDOED ANY SUPPORT for these shell shocked, anti-communist, Americans and our helpers, the refugees.

Instead, President Ford had to recruit Christian organizations to offer assistance on a voluntary basis.  As he did so, the Senator belittled those efforts.  What kind of person would oppose President Ford's tireless work to do the right and humanitarian thing?  Who would want to play politics with the well-being of innocent people who stood by America in the tragic Vietnam War?

THAT SENATOR WAS JOE BIDEN

 From the book - "When the Center Held." by Donald Rumsfeld  in 2018.(biography)
