U.S. first lady Jill Biden praised Namibia's vibrant democracy Thursday at a pomp-filled, wine-laden, dignitary-heavy state luncheon with Namibia's first lady Monica Geingos and her husband, President Hage Geingob. "I'm proud to be standing here standing with a strong democracy," Biden said. "And as Monica said yesterday, a young democracy working together. "For me, as a young African child growing up, I just consumed American media to the point where I even knew about it more than my own," he continued. "We wanted to come because you know this is a young democracy, and we want to support democracies around the world," Biden said.
