Biden Tells Such a Whopper, Even the WaPo Showers Him With Pinocchios – Opinion

Joe Biden lies. Many.

One of his more common types of lies is what I would call the “pandering lie” — a lie to convince whatever audience he’s talking to that he’s just like them.

We’ve seen that from him often. He lies to people about his trucking career and the 18-wheeler he drives. When he meets with people over fires, he lies about his house burning down with his wife in it (but she got out and his house didn’t burn down).

However, he told a huge whopper when he was in Atlanta the other day, pushing ‘voting rights.’ Now, to be fair, his whole speech was one big lie in claiming that Republicans were trying to deny people the right to vote and comparing them to people like George Wallace, Bull Connor, and Jefferson Davis, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) later said.

It was Biden, who boasted about Wallace and Biden who both voted for Jefferson Davis’ restoration of American citizenship, that did this. Biden just raised the flag for all the racist remarks he’s made and did in his history by raising this unjustified attack.

He added another insulting lie to all of that. When he was talking about civil rights, he tried to suggest that he’d been arrested on behalf of the movement.

Daily Wire

“I did not live the struggles of Douglass, Tubman, King, Lewis, Goodman, Chaney, Schwerner, countless others known and unknown. I was not the student who walked those same paths. But I walked other grounds, because I’m so damn old I was there as well. They think I’m kidding, man. It seems like yesterday, the first time I got arrested— anyway,” he said to laughter. “But their struggles, here, they’re the ones that opened my eyes as a high school student in the late 50’s and early 60’s. They got me more engaged in the work of my life.”

Even the Washington Post, which is generally in Biden’s corner, couldn’t forgive that one. He was given four Pinocchios (the worst possible rating). They note that even Biden himself didn’t say anything in his book about being arrested during the Civil Rights movement. Continue reading the Daily Wire article:

“It’s possible that police might have taken the young Biden home from a dangerous situation — as he said twice — but that’s not an arrest,” the Post said. “Moreover, one would think such a memorable incident would have made it into one of Biden’s memoirs. Instead, it’s not mentioned in the book that specifically references the conversation with his mother about joining the ticket. Ordinarily, one would think such a memorable moment in a young man’s life would have merited an earlier recounting.”

“The primary source for this story is Biden — and we’ve learned over the years that he is not always a reliable source. He appears to be citing his mother to enhance his civil rights credentials — which we have noted he has exaggerated before — but too many elements do not add up to give this ‘arrest’ more credibility than his previous claims of getting in trouble with the law,” the paper said.

Now that’s something when even the WaPo has to admit that Joe Biden himself is not a reliable source and has a history of having “exaggerated” before on civil rights. We reported that he lied to us about his arrest in South Africa while attempting to meet Nelson Mandela. Later, his campaign claimed that this had not happened and that he was separated from black coworkers at the airport. Oh. It is almost exactly the same.

Biden himself has clarified that he wasn’t out marching anywhere.

Hardly the “work of his life,” as he now tries to suggest.

This shows his shamelessness when he lies.
