WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden pardoned Peanut Butter & Jelly, the two Indiana-based giant white turkeys, Friday in the White House Rose Garden, continuing a decades-old Thanksgiving tradition.
“Instead of getting basted these two turkeys are getting boosted,” said Biden, referencing the vaccine booster shots that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized https://www.reuters.com/world/us/covid-19-boosters-for-all-discussion-moves-cdc-2021-11-19 broader use of earlier in the day.
“It’s vital to continue traditions such as these, reminding us how from dark there is light and hopes and progress and that this year’s Thanksgiving represents for me,” he stated.
The smell of apple cider and hot turkeys lingered on the grass before he could speak. To entertain White House employees and their families, a band performed avian-related songs such as “Free Bird” from Lynyrd Skynyrd and “Birdland” from Weather Report.
