President Trump jokes that Bread and Butter have already received subpoenas.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, who pardoned two turkeys named “Bread” and “Butter” as part of the White House Thanksgiving tradition Tuesday, used the annual event to joke about the House"Thankfully, Bread and Butter have been specially raised by the Jacksons to remain calm under any condition, which will be very important because they've already received subpoenas to appear in Adam Schiff's basement on Thursday," Trump said.
"It seems the Democrats are accusing me of being too soft on turkey, but Bread and Butter — I should note that, unlike previous witnesses, you and I have actually met. It's very unusual," Trump continued. Trump added that the pardon would be"very popular" with the news media, joking that"turkeys are closely related to vultures."
Every fall, the chair of the National Turkey Federation is tasked with providing the National Thanksgiving Turkey to the White House. This year, farmer Wellie Jackson and his son drove Bread and Butter from North Carolina to Washington. In keeping with recent tradition, the turkeys stayed at the luxurious Willard Hotel down the street from the White House.Sign Up
