President Biden’s latest claim about being "raised in the synagogues" of Delaware follows a long history of the octogenarian president exaggerating his cultural background in an attempt to connect with people he's speaking to.
"I, you might say, was raised in the synagogues of my state. You think I’m kidding, I’m not," Biden told a group of rabbis during a call Thursday ahead of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year holiday that began Friday.
The president, who calls himself a devout Catholic, has made the claim before, though there’s little evidence to support it.
"I probably went to shul more than many of you did," Biden said last year during a speech marking Rosh Hashanah. "You all think I’m kidding … I’m not. I’m not."
Biden said at the time, "I received my education" at the Congregation Beth Shalom in Wilmington, Delaware. But neither of Biden’s memoirs make any mention of Beth Shalom or attending synagogue, the New York Post previously reported.
Biden also told the rabbis Thursday that he "got involved with the civil rights movement" before becoming a senator – a claim that Biden himself acknowledged wasn’t true during his 1988 presidential bid that was derailed over plagiarism allegations.
"During the '60s, I was, in fact, very concerned about the civil rights movement," then-presidential candidate Biden said in 1987. "I was not an activist. I worked at an all-Black swimming pool in the east side of Wilmington, Delaware. I was involved in what they were thinking, in what they were feeling."
"But I was not out marching, I was not down in Selma," he continued. "I was not anywhere else."
Biden has also frequently claimed to have attended a Black church as a teenager despite longtime congregants insisting that they never saw him.
"Let's lay one thing to rest. I may be a practicing Catholic, but used to go to 7:30 Mass every morning in high school and then in college before I went to the Black church," Biden said. "Not a joke."
In February 2015, Biden raised eyebrows after he claimed he had "an awful lot" of Somali friends who drove taxis.
"Somalis have made my city of Wilmington, Delaware, [their home] on a smaller scale. There is a large, very identifiable Somali community," he said. "I might add if you ever come to the train station with me you’ll notice I have great relationships with them, because there’s an awful lot driving cabs and are friends of mine. For real. I’m not being solicitous. I’m being serious."
The Washington Post’s fact-checker, Glenn Kessler, called the claim a "whopper" and argued that the vast majority of refugees who settled in the area hailed from West African countries like Liberia and Sierra Leone, not Somalia.
In February, Twitter users piled on Biden after he boasted about growing up in a Polish community while visiting the country. ......

============================
Where are all the Democrats that were offended by Trump's lies. Hypocrites much?
Maybe Guano can verify Rabbi Biden attending the synagogue. Oh I forgot Guano is a fake Jew also.
So Joe is a Black Jewish Puerto Rican who is best bros with Somalian cabbies. When he says "I'm not kidding" or "I'm being serous" you know he is lying. The man is a disgrace.
