News about Jesse Helms

Despite refusing to hold a press conference on the second day of the 80-year-old's journey to his ancestral homeland, the president told families of US Embassy workers that they could tell him "anything." And though he didn't schedule a press conference during his four-day trip, he shared a rambling tale about late Senator Jesse Helms and said the children could ask him anything. At one point when trying to figure out if Helms was from North or South Carolina, Hunter corrected him and led him to 'walk the rope line' as the celebration came to an end. While following his family roots on the Emerald Isle, the president's son, who is under federal tax scrutiny and vulnerable from Republicans, was alongside his father. The teetotaller arrived at Carlingford Castle in County Louth and then received a rockstar's welcome at a bar with historical links to his family, even though he didn't pour the traditional pint of Guinness.
