Jill said she remained cordial to Trump despite their past conflict because she respects &ldquo;our institutions&rdquo; and doesn&rsquo;t understand the point of &ldquo;nastiness.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Joe and I respect our institutions, our traditions,&rdquo; she said, &ldquo;and it&rsquo;s very important to me that they continue and we &hellip; What would be the point of nastiness?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/3227657\/trump-national-security-picks-loyalty-america-first-pro-israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>TRUMP NATIONAL SECURITY PICKS: LOYALTY, AMERICA FIRST, AND PRO-ISRAEL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Other Democrats, such as Sen.

Circumstances changed, and it became quite apparent and obvious that the Republicans weren&rsquo;t going to stop.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Jill was with Hunter in the Delaware courtroom when he was convicted of all three charges levied against him in his federal gun trial. Joe Biden, said then, in part: &ldquo;As I also said last week, I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal. Jill and I will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support.
