Biden claims his uncle Frank won Purple Heart but story doesn’t add up

You have to admit that it doesn't look good. What was he thinking of? Does he have a false memory or was he lying? It's not good for Biden to wander into nonsense land. In fact, it could cost Democrats the 2024 election.

he was doing the same thing in 2020......why do you think it will be different in 2024?.......

President Biden claimed Friday that his uncle Frank Biden won the Purple Heart for his actions during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II — but there’s no evidence of the award and key details of the story are chronologically impossible.

The 80-year-old commander-in-chief has a habit of sharing false or embellished personal anecdotes to build a connection with his audiences and told his latest apparent tall tale during largely unscripted remarks to veterans in Delaware.

“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,'” the president recalled.

“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, okay?’ We had the family there,” Biden went on “I said, ‘Uncle Frank, you’ve won this and I wanted to —’ and he said, ‘I don’t want the damn thing.’ No, I’m serious, he said, ‘I don’t want it.’ I said, ‘What’s the matter, Uncle Frank? You earned it.’ He said, ‘Yeah, but the others died. The others died. I lived. I don’t want it.'”

Biden told the story apparently to make a point about the humility of veterans, but 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 tale involving Biden’s uncle is similar to another emotionally impactful but false story told by then-presidential candidate Joe Biden in 2019 — this one involving a Navy captain supposedly refusing to accept a Silver Star for his heroism in Afghanistan. A Washington Post fact check from the time said Biden “jumbled elements of at least three actual events into one story of bravery, compassion, and regret that never happened.”......


Biden made other dubious remarks Friday, including telling veterans that “twice as president” he had been “in and out of Afghanistan and Iraq and those areas” — despite never visiting Afghanistan and Iraq as president and getting no closer than the Palestinian city of Bethlehem, almost 300 miles from the Iraqi border.....


Biden also falsely claimed in 1987 that he “graduated with three degrees from college,” was named “the outstanding student in the political science department,” “went to law school on a full academic scholarship — the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship” and ”ended up in the top half” of his class. None of those claims were true. .......

My aunt died when she was 104. When she was still living alone ate around 90 years old she would tell fantastic stories about the neighbor killing rabbits. Otherwise she seemed OK. She later progressed to be very bad. So Biden is showing signs of dementia just like Reagan and that somehow is OK with you??? Plus I wasn't very political during Reagan because I was taking additional college classes to get in to med school so working and college and early fatherhood kept me pretty busy in the late 80s

Where have I stated that Biden showing signs of dementia is okay? If indeed he is failing cognitively, and becomes incapable of leading, we'll be enjoying the leadership of President Harris by and by.

Jeez man.

A Proud Lefty (APL) is a mega lefty and yet, started a thread that knowingly makes Biden look senile.
And all you do is reign down ad hominem's for it.

You should AT LEAST give APL credit for posting a story that makes Biden look bad.

Sheesh.

I don't know man. AProudLunatic even admitted to me he was defending Biden. Anyway this thread does show how stupid Biden is . He gave a story that he thought would benefit him but it is easily debunked and it hurts him a lot. My father fought in WWII and I resent Biden stealing valor for his political purposes.

My reply isn't "ad hominem." Learn what ad hominem is before making a claim something is.

You still support Biden yet compare what you think as Reagan's cognitive decline to Biden. So in your logic.


Reagan's dementia = not OK
Reagan = Biden
Biden = OK
So Biden's Dementia = OK

Repeating a lie does not make it magically come true, despite what your #MangoTintedMaster tells you.
 
Purple hearts are tragically common.

I thankfully avoided one, but my dad didn't, nor did my father-in-law.

They're hardly something to lie about.

Biden doesn't have dementia, at least not yet. Yes, he's senile. That comes from being ancient. He's always been stupid, so that's nothing new. He's also always been a liar, big time, not to mention his serial plagiarizing of stuff. He's also been on the wrong side of virtually every major piece of legislation since he first took office.

In sum, he's a lying dumb fuck that's now senile.
