Conservatives and The New York Post claimed there was no evidence to support Biden’s claim
Conservatives on Twitter blasted President Joe Biden for telling another “ridiculous tall tale” about himself in a speech, claiming that his uncle won a Purple Heart for his actions during World War II.
Critics slammed the claim, asserting there is no evidence it is true.
Biden made the remarks during a town hall for U.S. veterans in Delaware on Friday. At one point during his speech, the president stated, “My dad, when I got elected vice president [in 2008], he said, ‘Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge.’ He was not feeling very well now — not because of the Battle of the Bulge, but he said, ‘and he won the Purple Heart and he never received it. He never got it. Do you think you could help him get it? We will surprise him.’”
He continued, claiming, “So I got him the Purple Heart. He had won it in the Battle of the Bulge. And I remember he came over the house and I came out and [my father] said, ‘Present it to him, OK?’ We had the family there.”
Biden concluded the story, claiming he gave the medal to his uncle despite his Frank’s humble protests.
Though the New York Post shot holes through the story in a Friday report, stating, “The known facts indicate it’s not true. Biden’s father, Joseph R. Biden Sr., died in September 2002 — more than six years before his son was elected vice president. Frank Biden, Joe Sr.’s brother, died in 1999.”
The piece also noted, “Frank Biden’s tombstone does not identify him as a Purple Heart honoree, nor does his obituary. A partial registry of known Purple Heart recipients also doesn’t note anyone by that name receiving the award, though that database is not comprehensive.”
Seems like all the bidens are nothing but chronic liars and crooks living off tax payers money. They should be in prison for treason, conspiracy, money laundering, tax fraud, embezzling, etc, the list goes on and on.
The press keeps calling them “gaffes”, in their ubiquitous efforts to prop up their hero, despite his obvious mental incapacity. Our wonderfully unbiased free press.
They are LIES.
And biden is NEVER called out on them.
81 million votes, my ace.
Achieved by a campaign done mostly from the basement of one of his mansions (on a public servant’s income, but THAT is another story).
