Referencing his Catholicism, Biden then said: “No purgatory for this guy. Five daughters. Straight to heaven. And by the way, I say to every young man thinking of getting married, marry into a family of five or more daughters. I did. My wife is the oldest of five sisters. You know why? One of them will always love you.”
Over scattered laughter from the crowd he added: “Not the same one. One of them will always be on your side. That’s the biggest advantage of marrying into five daughters.”
