But perhaps it is unwise to compare the victims of Biden fundraising schemes to the Royal Air Force pilots defeating Hitler’s Luftwaffe. Much of Westchester County was locked down Thursday thanks to President Biden and his vast entourage descending on Irvington for a fundraiser reception in Michael Douglas’ mansion.
