Jill Biden tweets rebuke to Wall Street Journal columnist Joseph Epstein, who mocked her career achievements
Incoming first lady Jill Biden has responded to a Wall Street Journal Op-Ed mocking her academic career by tweeting that she wants to build a world where female accomplishments are celebrated rather than diminished.
For those who missed it, the WSJ published the piece by Joseph Epstein about Dr Biden on the weekend.
