Biden jokes about being disappointed his ancestor wasn't part of group that killed oppressive mine foremen
Fox News
President Biden joked at a Pittsburgh rally on Monday that his family was disappointed to learn his great-grandfather was not in a violent Catholic group.
"I remember when my great-grandfather was only the second Catholic elected statewide in the state Senate here in Pennsylvania," Biden told the audience. "And I remember they talked about – when they’d run against him in 1906 – they said, ‘Guess what? He’s a Molly Maguire.’" Timothy Nerozzi is a writer for Fox News Digital.

"A lot of the English owned the coal mines and what they did was they really beat the hell out of the mostly Catholic population in the mines. Not a joke," Biden continued. "But there was a group they called the Molly Maguires. And Molly Maguires, if they found out the foreman was taking advantage of an individual, they would literally kill him. Not a joke. And they would bring his body up and put him on the doorstep of his family."
