Disgusting comment section, this is why we're failing as a country. Back in the day we'd recognise and have empathy for someone's personal tragedy even when we disagree politically. I hope everyone celebrating this gets a revelation in some form or another.

Damn. My mom pass away 9 years ago today

The reports of the accident were "lost". Jill's first husband claims he was a friend of Joe's and Joe was already running around with his wife. He seems very believable. More so than Snopes.

I am sorry for his loss. His young wife was so pretty. I wonder if he would have been a different guy had they lived.

This is a good public relations story. This does not change the fact he is failure at everything.

This is the man, who just the other day, lied AGAIN about his uncle being a recipient of the purple heart and never actually received it. He claimed his father petitioned him to get the award for his uncle and to present it to him in 2008. The problem with his "story" is that both his uncle and father died before 2008 and there is no record to support his claim about his uncle. This is what we call stolen valor.

Shame on the ugly comments about Joe! How tragic to lose a young wife and baby daughter! Why are there so many cruel people?

I'm not a fan of Biden, but people should grow a heart.

Need to investigate further to his first wife death as let make common sense how she die .. Jill was their baby sitter later become his wife ? Let that seek in as he about to take a senate seat n there might be an affair going on and sudden she got in a car accident ? N the other driver was not at fault ???!!!! Seriously ? Have anyone ever heard what a man with money, law, powers can do to a regular person ? This is not at all whether you are blue or red but really justice have not been Serve . I have never cares to read or watch Biden personal life until honestly today n I just felt there something fishy how she died

This is what happens when you sell your soul to the Devil .

This car accident was not an "accident"

[DustyVid]

This has no importance to the US he's not a national treasure

[exvdtdk]

Did tractor-trailers move faster back then?

[TheMondizzl]

Why wasn't biden in the car we wouldn't have this much inflation

[rosenzweigpatrick]

Too bad dad wasn’t in that car we have better lives today. FJB

[marytolch]

Such a beautiful picture. Sad to know he was cheating on her😢. Thankful she and her daughter went on to a better place, before Joe had the chance to take A shower with this sweet baby! Rest in peace.

[biloz]

He should have been there with them and for them, we could have been saved his and his hunter their savagery

[ConcreteBombDeep]

What type of care was she in? Can't find it on WIKI.

[KaliKali-hvbt]

I only feel sad that his baby girl and wife died that day..other than that I don’t feel anything for Biden.
