Rep. Quigley on His Trip to Ireland with Biden: He Reminded Me of My Father Who Was Suffering from Parkinson’s
‘You could hardly hear him speak’
EXCERPT:
QUIGLEY: “Yeah. I mean, we just had this moment where he met the president of Ireland and the whole tour was going extremely well. And the president was in great, great spirits. And it reminded me of, this is my father, who was suffering from Parkinson’s later in life, you know, we’d have a family reunion and he’d be all charged up. And, you know, he had that energy and you could hear his voice. And then when it was over, air came out of the balloon. Right after all these events, when you saw the president of the United States, it was, unfortunately, the air going out of the balloon. It was a whole different person. You could hardly hear him speak. He was, you know, breathy and movement of his eyes, and very frail.”
