Joe Biden grieves Covid victims on eve of his inauguration: 'To heal, we must remember'
One of the great tragedies of the past year, as some 400,000 Americans lost their lives to Covid-19, was not only that many victims died alone -- their loved ones robbed of the chance to say goodbye -- but that the pain of that loss was whitewashed by a President who chose to minimize and deny it.
In a somber ceremony at the Lincoln Memorial on Tuesday night that was his first stop in Washington, President-elect Joe Biden signaled that honoring that grief and the terrible toll of the last year would be at the very heart of his administration. Elected because of his empathy and his compassion for Americans, who are suffering through a confluence of crises that have created a time of great uncertainty, Biden spoke just a few words as the sun set over the National Mall, casting a rosy glow in the twilight.
