Biden repeats lie about being the first in his family to go to college — decades after admitting it’s not true

President Biden has repeated a lie that he was the first person in his family to attend college — more than three decades after first admitting it’s not true.

The oldest-ever president repeated the untrue claim while touting his efforts to bail out student loan borrowers during a stop Monday at a college in the swing state of Wisconsin.

“I, like an awful lot of people in this audience, was the first in my family to go to college and watched my dad struggle to get there,” he said.

Biden, 81, has been called out several times before for making the same claim.

That’s what I tell people.

Stop feeling sorry for him.

It’s not because of dementia.

Joe Biden has been an unapologetic inveterate liar for over 59 years now.

We’ve become so polarized that Biden voters just don’t care. Biden could make a speech where he did nothing but drool and babble, (what he does now, only worse), and it wouldn’t change a thing. Voting Dem is much more important that who they vote for.

Correction. He has been full of crap his whole life. I would imagine that they laughed at him in Law School.

The problem wasn’t the claim, it was the fact that chunks of the speech were originally spoken by UK Labour Neil Kinnock and Biden didn’t credit him, so he got done for plagiarism.

Correct. At this point, it is more about keeping the Nazi out of office.

Beau was the first child in his family to go to college where he was murdered by the faculty.

And the media would claim it was a brilliant speech. He is like Chance, in the movie “Being There”, where the simple minded gardener Chance was proclaimed as brilliant because of his stupid statements about gardening. Maybe his nickname should be “Chance”.

From the NYP report-—Again, to get votes, Biden has made the dubious claim about being the first Biden to go to college.......even after he admitted in 1987 that it wasn’t true.

REUTERS

In 2002, Biden spoke of his maternal grandfather, Ambrose Joseph Finnegan, calling him an “All-American football player” for Santa Clara College in California.

An obituary for his grandfather also acknowledges he enrolled in Santa Clara College after graduating from high school in Scranton, Pa.

Jo Pedo is the first “historical” U.S. president whose brain is like a box of loose screws.

“I would imagine that they laughed at him in Law School.”


Are you kidding? He graduated top of his law school class with full scholarships. His first day he when he didn’t study a case he improvised an answer so well, that he held the class spellbound for 10 minutes and his professor told him he was going to be a great lawyer.

Biden’s dad sold used cars. He learned from the best.

To lie like this requires conscious thought - a functioning brain. When he stops lying - that’s when you know dementia has kicked in.

He should have worked with the guys at Big 6 like I did.

Plus a couple of women I dated in the 1980’s.

Not most women I dated. Just those 2 in particular...

LOL. Some of the lies he tells - I swear he does it just for fun, to get a rise out of his audience.
