Before departing the White House, the Bidens were merely attempting to enjoy one more Merry Christmas. That is obviously not going well, especially in light of the social media outcry. The First Lady, Jill Biden, revealed earlier this week that a North Carolina Christmas tree farm provided this year’s White House Christmas tree. In particular, Hurricane Helene caused extensive flooding and devastation in the Blue Ridge Mountain region as it proceeded up the US east coast. Jill Biden tried to clarify in a statement to the public that the purpose of taking the fir out of North Carolina was to commemorate and reflect the state’s resilience and everything it had lately experienced:The Cartner family has been cultivating trees at the Cartner Christmas Tree Farm for over 60 years, and this lovely Frasier fir was cultivated there. Their farm is located in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, an area severely devastated by Hurricane Helene.
The storm destroyed hundreds of trees for the Cartner family. However, this one stood, and because of the incredible optimism it symbolizes, it was given the name Treemendous. This tree honors the extraordinary bravery and service of the North Carolina National Guard.ABC/status/1861146998792913343 on Twitter The Bidens have experienced considerable backlash after removing one of the last remaining trees from the North Carolina tree farm, as you might expect. To defend themselves, the Tar Heel state exports a lot of Christmas trees every year. At this time of year, North Carolina, Oregon, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania are known for growing trees that are delivered all across the nation. Therefore, by choosing one of North Carolina’s trees, the White House might have been only trying to pay tribute to the state. However, the internet had a different perspective.
