President Biden was pressed on why he was not attending Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI’s funeral<\/a> on Wednesday during an awkward exchange with a reporter ahead of his trip to Kentucky.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“You’re not attending his funeral tomorrow though, why?” EWTN’s Owen Jensen asked the president.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Well, why do you think?” Biden responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Well, you tell me,” Jensen said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Biden insisted “you know why,” as the reporter followed up again with, “you can tell me.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The reason I’m not attending the funeral tomorrow is it would take an entourage of a thousand people to show up,” Biden said. “We would move everything in the wrong direction.”<\/p>\n

The president also said “we would just get in the way” and added that Pope Benedict XVI was a “fine man.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday that U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See, Joe Donnelly, would be representing the U.S. at the funeral.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See, Joe Donnelly, will represent the United States at the funeral of the Pope, in line with the wishes of the late Pope and the Vatican. This is what \u2014 this is what their requests were. This is what their wishes were. And so, that\u2019s what you\u2019re seeing from the U.S.,” she told reporters on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Pope Francis is set to preside over Pope Benedict XVI’s funeral, which will take place on Thursday in St. Peter’s Square<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Biden is set to appear in Kentucky<\/a> on Wednesday with Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-KY., to tout the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
