“I think he said something about, ‘I would have reached out sooner but I wasn’t sure how you would feel,’” Heather Heyer's mother Susan Bro said of Biden's call.
The mother of Heather Heyer, who died after being run over by car while protesting the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, said former Vice President Joe Biden did not contact her prior to launching a 2020 presidential campaign video Thursday that references her daughter’s death.
“I got a call from him yesterday at 4:30 in the afternoon,” said Bro. “That was the first time I had ever spoken to Joe Biden or anybody related to his office or anything.”“I remember we talked a lot about bereavement because you know he’s lost a son and a wife and daughter and we talked about how forming a foundation helps you survive,” Bro said. “But that’s really all the kind of things we talked about.
Bro said she recalled Biden explaining why he had not called her before releasing the campaign video.
