Biden misrepresented the facts of his own biography four times during one speech
US President Joe Biden, during a speech in Milwaukee at an electrical engineering enterprise, distorted the facts of his biography.
“My grandfather Biden died very young. He died in the hospital where I was born, six days before my birth,” Biden said.
In fact, Biden’s grandfather, whom he had in mind, passed away more than a year before the birth of his grandson. A relative died on September 26, 1941 in Baltimore, Maryland, and the future president was born on November 20, 1942 in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Biden also said that his father had a high school education, was well-read, worked hard and didn’t have the opportunity to go to college. However, according to the publication, he studied at the prestigious Johns Hopkins University for a year. This is evidenced by both census data and a 1941 wedding announcement in the Scranton Tribune, which states that he “attended Johns Hopkins University.”
In addition, during the speech, the president added that he had reduced the national debt by $1.7 trillion. The White House website clarified that the president was referring to the budget deficit, not the national debt.
Finally, Biden also stated that he was “included in the list of the poorest people in Congress for 36 years.” However, the New York Post questioned this statement, because, as the newspaper notes, a year after Biden was elected as a senator, he moved into a mansion with an area of almost 930 square meters and “it is not clear whether he was really called the poorest man in Congress “.
Biden repeatedly allowed reservations and got confused during public statements. For example, he once referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “our president.”
Biden also mixed up the names of his granddaughters and his deceased son during a speech in Philadelphia.
