Biden Quotes Angelou to Lynch: ‘If Someone Shows You Who They Are, Believe Them’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
JOE BIDEN: "I imagine being the daughter of an English teacher and librarian, daughter of north Carolina, Maya Angelou's words have never been too far away from Loretta and her thinking, Maya Angelou once said, in her straight forward manner, she said, "If someone shows you who they are, believe them. If someone shows you who they are, believe them." A very simplistic phrase, but better profound. She has shown us her entire life who she is. So believe her. I believe her, the president believes her, and all the people in this department will believe her. Loretta, you've shown who you are in everything you've done, and you've upheld the very values of the oath you're about to take. And we believe you. To the staff of the united States department of justice, you're the best of the best, and Loretta, you again have the best of the best as your leader. All of the qualities she brings to the job of attorney general are because of what she's learned as a federal prosecutor. She's one of you. She is one of you. To the American people, we're blessed with another remarkable public servant to lead this department, and with that, Loretta, I'm now going to swear you in as the attorney general of the United States of America. With your husband, who will come forward, dad, the whole family come on up here."
