Westboro Baptist Church to protest Beau Biden’s funeral

The ill-famed Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas – a “family-based cult” known for its flagrant hate speech and offensive protests – plans to picket at Beau Biden’s funeral mass, held Saturday in Wilmington, Delaware at St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church.

Beau Biden, former Delaware Attorney General and the eldest son of Vice President Joe Biden, died last week after a two-year battle with brain cancer. He was 46 years old and had his sights set on the governor’s race.

Widely described as a hate group, the church has no qualms when it comes to loudly touting its severe belief system – one notoriously characterized by its homophobic, anti-Semitic and anti-American views. They infamously sought to protest the funerals for children killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012.

“WBC’s message to yet-living Joe Biden and others present includes that both Biden men have been given many reminders of God’s sovereignty yet have refused to obey His standards,” states the group on its website. “Man cannot continue in disobedience and defiance of God’s standards without consequence. Biden has a life time of rebellion to seek repentance for before his soul is required of him. The time is short. Repent or likewise perish.”
