JUST IN: Biden Gaffes Again, Falsely Claiming He Gave Purple Heart To Uncle

President Biden appeared to make a major gaffe Friday when he claimed that after being elected vice president in 2008, he awarded his uncle, Frank Biden, a Purple Heart for his service in World War II, but there are some major holes in his story--primarily the fact his uncle died almost a decade before the 2008 election.

His uncle died a decade before Joe claimed he got him that medal in 2008? Probably voted for Joe in 2020, too.

If ever there was a time when America was at it's most scariest moment....it is now.

[stactheace]

As a veteran myself, he has to be held accountable for his lies. I don't care how old he is.

[ericberman]

Actually, Brandon’s dad should apologize for not wearing a condom back in February, 1942.

[stephenjones]

A gaffe is a mistake. This is a lie. He made it up out of whole cloth.

[peterandolph]

Did he give it to his uncle while he was a full professor at UPenn or was it when he was appointed to the Naval Academy?

[stephenclemence]

This is actually one of the better lies I've heard him tell. More believable than most of his lies.

[tlbstickman]

Please don't confuse a "gaffe" with an intentional LIE.

[donforeman]

I remember him at that Black Panther party, then he marched with Dr. King, gave up his seat for Rosa Parks and stepped on the moon.
This guy is like "Where's Waldo", just look close at anything significant and JB did it or was there.

He also helped raise the flag at Iwo Jima, flew the Enola Gay, helped Willy Wonka build the chocolate factory and ran cross country with Forrest Gump. This is the man I will vote for in 2024. Remember to vote blue no matter who.

[SStrategicDefense]

Must've been on the same day he went protesting with Nelson Mandella.

[htiesbaby]

Joe also saved Lt. Dan in Vietnam. He doesn't talk about it because he lost his best friend Bubba.

[julianneh.]

Wow. This is exactly the kind errors in stories my patients with Alzheimer's/other types of dementia told, in my 7 years of experience with the population in a large group setting, and 4 years of private care. And exactly the way they would tell it.

[canuhearme]

He rose from the dead to meet Joe so he could present him his Purple Heart. What a touching story…

[derekbotha]

When he opens his mouth he lies, but what is tragic is that almost 50% of Americans fall for it🤦

[Pierre.P]

Not cool he did not get questioned as soon as he finished that lie. Would have loved to see the reaction.

[brianm]

It’s wild to think after the corn pop story his team hasn’t explained to him that it’s not the 80s anymore, people can just Google this stuff and verify it’s false.

[lemurianchick]

Since when is a long story that is untrue a gaffe?

[markr]

We may laugh about yet another gaffe, but as someone who's uncles actually won medals in WW2, this disgusts me.

[aereree]

It's called a lie, he's been doing it for decades now
