Church and bagels to go: Biden's first White House Sunday

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Joe Biden attended a church service in Washington's Georgetown neighborhood and stopped for bagels at a hot pink shop named "Call Your Mother" on his first Sunday in office.

Biden waved at a crowd of cheering supporters near the shop, while his son Hunter waited at the takeout window before returning with a bag of bagels and some beverages.

Andrew Dana, 35, one of the shop's owners, said the Bidens' visit came as a surprise.

"To have the president out and about visiting local business is really encouraging," Dana told Reuters. "We love the positive vibes."

Former President Donald Trump rarely frequented local businesses in Washington, often spending his Sundays at the golf club he owns in a Virginia suburb.

Biden was joined at the service at Holy Trinity Church by Hunter and two of Hunter's three daughters - Maisy and Finnegan.

Dana said the Bidens ordered four different bagels with cream cheese or butter.

"Starting with the staples is good," said Dana, who co-owns four bagel shops in Washington with his fiance, Daniela Moreira. Each weekend, they produce over 10,000 bagels a day.

Wait what??!! The man literally hid in his basement scared and not supporting nada, while Trump was out in every state and city showing strength during a time of crisis. Now Hunter, a known fraud of a businessman and commie sympathizer is out getting bagels and chillin with dad at the white house. Didn't the left just go to war on churches??? Thought they were unsafe spreader events?! You couldn't make this type of crud up.
Hard hitting journalism...
If Hunter Biden came to my takeout window I’d tell him he’s not welcome, we don’t serve incestuous pedophiles.
Great political commentary from someone who works a takeout window...
 Snobby comment from someone who doesn't work.
I guess America is living the dream.
Will Hunter be able to order bagels for breakfast in prison?
He could catch the virus on one of these outings.
We all know this is a publicity stunt.  Better off golfing like Trump, the security cost paid by the taxpayer would have been less.  Does this make up for the rioters who destroyed business' bailed out by Democrats like Kamala, or the thousands of small business' destroyed by Democrat lock downs?
How many kids did he sniff today
Another propaganda piece from Reuters. It can be noted here that, besides political propaganda, Reuters posts many market-related articles that can be valuable for investors. However, this site re-posts propaganda only. Talk about priorities.
How is that considered "propaganda" to mention that the president bought a few bagels with his family, at a local business? lol
 Presenting a political leader as “father of nation” is a propagandist cliche quite common in socialist countries and media.
Was he wearing a mask during church service?
