Former vice president and 2020 Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden has misled the public on multiple occasions throughout his career.
According to The Quotable Joe: Corn Pop, Dog-Faced Pony Soldiers, and Other Malarkey from America’s Most Embarrassing Candidate, there are at least six times when he outright misled the public with his false claims:
1. Biden Falsely Claimed He Marched in the Civil Rights Movement in 1987
Biden was campaigning for the Democrat nomination for president in 1987 when he claimed he marched in the civil rights movement.
“When I marched in the civil rights movement, I did not march with a 12-point program,” Biden said in New Hampshire in February 1987, according to the New York Times. “I marched with tens of thousands of others to change attitudes. And we changed attitudes.”
His advisers had to gently remind him that he did not march with civil rights activists, but Biden kept telling the story anyway.
2. Biden Falsely Claimed He Saved Millions of Lives from Ebola
At the February 2020 Democrat primary debate in South Carolina, Biden claimed his efforts “played a role” in saving “millions of lives” throughout the Ebola epidemic that took place under the Obama administration.
“What we did with Ebola—I was part of making sure that pandemic did not get to the United States, saved millions of
lives. And what we did, we set up, I helped set up that office in the presidency, in the president’s office, on diseases that are pandemic diseases,” Biden said.
“We increased the budget of the CDC. We increased the NIH budget. We should—and our president today—and he’s wiped all that out. We did it. We stopped it,” he continued.
But the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) statistics show that the 2014-2016 Ebola epidemic centered in Africa, infecting 28,600 people and killing 11,325 people on that continent alone.
Biden also repeatedly referred to Ebola as a “pandemic,” which means a disease that has spread worldwide, instead of an “epidemic,” wherein the spread of disease is more localized.
3. Biden Falsely Claimed He Created “Shovel-Ready Jobs”
Biden delivered a speech in July 2020 in New Castle, Delaware, when he reminded everyone about how he was tasked with being in charge of the 2009 “stimulus,” also known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The stimulus turned out to be a failure, costing the U.S. $862 million to state and local governments and Democrat special interests. But Biden talked about his record in a positive light. Biden said:
When we usually talk about jobs packages, there’s a big push on ‘shovel-ready jobs. I’m the guy, as you may remember [who] managed the Recovery Act of 800-plus billion dollars. I always focused on ‘shovel-ready jobs,’ what we could do immediately, to get the money out in communities.
In October 2010, former President Barack Obama said there was “no such thing” as shovel-ready jobs “when it comes to public works,” the New York Times reported.
4. Biden Falsely Claimed He Defeated ISIS
Biden claimed in January 2020 during a presidential primary debate in Des Moines, Iowa, that he, along with the rest of the Obama administration, defeated the Islamic State (ISIS). However, the terrorist group, which was founded in 1999, did not rise to prominence until the 2010s.
“I was part of the coalition that put together 68 counties to deal with stateless terror as well as failed states. Not us alone, 68 other countries, that’s how we were able to defeat and end the caliphate [of ] ISIS,” Biden said of his work during the Obama administration.
Despite Biden’s claim, the Obama administration was inefficient at fighting the terror group. It was only in 2017, after President Donald Trump took office, that ISIS began to lose territory and fighters.
5. Biden Falsely Claimed over 120 Million Dead from the Coronavirus
Biden claimed that the coronavirus killed 120 million people in a July 2020 speech on health care in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, just moments before his livestream went dead.
“You have, unnecessarily, now we have over 120 million dead from COVID,” Biden said, right as the live stream appeared to go under. The U.S. only had 124,000 fatalities at the time of his speech, Breitbart News reported.
6. Biden Falsely Claimed His Deceased Son Was the U.S. Attorney General
Biden delivered remarks at a CNN town hall event where he claimed his deceased son Beau Biden was the attorney general of the United States.
Only problem is, that position was held by the likes of Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch during the Obama administration. Beau Biden served as Delaware’s attorney general.
“My son—my deceased son—was the Attorney General of the United States and before that, he was a federal prosecutor in
one of the largest office’s [sic] in the country in Philadelphia,” Biden said.
He also claimed to have been a student at an all black university, which the university denies. He claimed also that he had a full scholarship and finished at the top of his law class LIES! Lawdy!
He lied about his first wife’s death. She really died in a traffic accident. Incidentally, he was cheating on her at the time with the woman now known as Dr. Jill Biden
The last and, possibly the most telling, lie is that he removed the hate ads from broadcast when he has not.
I guess Biden thinks his lies will create creditably for him, it is only showing the American people how swallow he truly is. I RAISED MY SONS, if you lie to me, you’ll steal from me, and if you steal from me, you’ll lie to me. HE DOES BOTH! Patty M.
As they say whatvgoes around comes around. Old Joe really is out in left field when he talks about the things he has accomplished. Hopefully old Trump gets going again as we need him back quick.
So evident that Biden lies and CNN and MSNNC and msm will not call him out. Biden is shameful and people know it. He will not answer any questions about packing the courts, filibuster, and all his misinformation. People cannot trust Biden
I at first thought it was because of his dementia but now we know he’s just a liar. Once a liar always a liar.
Biden suffers from visions of grandeur?!!or he just likes to build himself up to something more than what he has done.
Checking out the facts on his response of these matters seem to prove that these where false statements (lies)
Truth is what our nation needs not fake ness! Not people who spread fake news
I pray daily for TRUTH come forth ! Exposing the fake news and letting TRUTH arise!
God Bless America one nation under GOD
God Bless the leaders that stand for the right to server our GOD
God looks on the heart, not on the outward appearance of a person
So everyone who speaks lies will be held accountable for their lies
God Bless A
God Bless America
You Republicans need to get your heads out of Trump’s butt or do you enjoy the smell .
Your TDS is showing…you obviously can not handle truth. God shall continue to bless America through Trump and God shall deal with all evil men that mock him. God’s word says ‘touch not my anointed’ and Trump, as crude as he may be, was chosen and anointed by God. Trump shall complete the job he has been appointed by God to do and no man can stop him. All evil intent, words, and actions shall return to the camp of the sender void and destroy that camp from within. God shall not be mocked.
47 Years of LIES!!
Biden has always had trouble with truth vs. his fiction. That is nothing new with him.
So we have a liar presidential candidate and a VP candidate that makes Karl Marx look conservative and who slept her way into office.
It appears as many of TODAYS politicians has an issue with TRUTH ,maybe this is the NEW
GENERATION OF POLITICIANS.
Biden is a rookie when it comes to lying compared to trump. 21000 trump lies and counting. And what the hell is Trump doing riding around spreading the virus he’s supposed to be quarantined how very incompetent
Pompous, scattered statements reveal Joe Biden at his best…….wait for the worst to come.
I’m old enough (now at 82) to remember the term “Scatterbrain”and I truly believe that the handle reflects a medical condition that turns people into “Wannabees” I believe that Joe actually believes what he says because that’s the way he wants it to be, because his fantasies glorify himself and give him the credibility that he believes he so richly deserves.
And they talk about Trump lying, who is calling the kettle black!
Biden is a communist that’s what they do that live on lies Him and his communist party
Problem is that the MSM will never call him on his lies while giving multi-day coverage to a Trump shoelace untied. We are on our own unless we get some news stations or Media that cover the Reps truthfully. Virtually all Trump accomplishments have been made w/o Dem assistance and without publicity regarding any success. The press is abysmal. They should all roast in Hell.
He Also said if you don’t vote for me you ain’t black… Expecting someone to vote for you solely upon the color of their skin seems to be a specious argument indeed. Seems to me that people should vote for someone on the basis of their actions rather than just the things that they are good at talking about
Onset of dementia is that you don’t remember what is thrut and what is fantasy.
He’s a liar and the Democrats are buying his lias.
Joe Biden does nothing else but lie. He has absolutely no idea what he is doing and saying anyway! And if it would not be for a prompter, he would be totally lost for words! That is one way to go about things, to let other people give him the words, he should say, so he doesn’t have to use his brains, if he had any.
this man could not tell the truth to save his life. his life is one big LIE. like he accused the semi truck driver that hit his wife of drinking. his lunch. the man did not. his wife pulled out in front of the semi, after running a stop sign. there is a question of whether she knew of Joe and Jills affair and did this deliberately to end her and her children’s lives. he was not first in his law class, he was near dead last. he did not attend a black university, he spoke at commencement there, and they awarded him with an honorary diploma. he recently said he was in the military, he was not, and received about 5 deferments. this man is an habitual liar, and the main stream media refuses to talk about it. he plagiarizes everything and steals intellectual property from people much greater than himself. he refuses to address the fact that Hunter Biden is a thief and a traitor to this country. he is for the GREEN NEW DEAL, as his web-site proclaims. he is an ardent supporter of defunding the police, the marxist BLM MOVEMENT, and his campaign staff pays bail for Portland and other cities rioters. see Kamala Harris video on the MFF, Minnesota Freedom Fighters. she is asking for monies to bail these scums out. if there is a GOD of retribution, I hope he visits this adulterer soon. by the way, he is refused communion in the Catholic Church.
he and the truth have never gotten along very well
If you believe him on anything he say’s you are wrong. Vote Trump/Pence 2020
He has lied through this 47 years in politics. He also has not done a thing to improve anyone’s way of life except his own and his sons. He picks on Trumps ethics but not only did he check in his first wife he also likes to touch women and smell them very inappropriately
Please DO NOT VOTE for Joe Biden,. I don’t believe he is trust worthy.
Please forgive me because I can’t help but ask. Are you saying that Trump is trustworthy?
I am not a supporter of Joe Biden. If you want to rip him apart and criticize, then by all means have at it. There is plenty of ammunition to use. However, with all due respect, I would think that anyone with common sense would choose practically any topic in the world to attack him other than “false and misleading statements”. It is astounding that this even has to be said. Does no one else at all see the incredible irony here?
For decades, the Democrats, in general, have made lying and twisting the truth a standard practice, so much so that it seems to be automatic. In their Marxist minds, any means justifies their ends in their steady march to socialism. Main END #1 is to achieve a PERMANENT Democrat-run government. If/when that is accomplished, END #2 will be an out-of-control tax and spend socialism which will eventually morph into the “animal-in-the closet” communism-by-dictator(s).
HAD TO SHARE REPLY FROM SOUTHERN PROUD….I AGREE WITH ALL SHE SAID …POSTED ON FACEBOOK!
VOTE FOR TRUMP AND AVOID THE BREAD LINE THAT JOE BIDEN AND THAT FEMALE TOP COP WITHIN THREE WEEKS !
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!
Good ol’ Quid Pro Quo Joe, bragged about having the Ukranian prosecutor fired by using the $1Billion aid package as a ‘tool’ to get his son, Hunter, off the hook for the corrupt Burisma Energy company that he was on the board of, while Hunter had NO EXPERIENCE IN ENERGY. http://tiny.cc/aj8dpz is a video of this bragging.
http://tiny.cc/4dsysz Link repaired of Quid Pro Quo Joe about getting Ukranian prosecutor fired.
Biden is not lying anymore. He just won’t answer the questions put to him, will he pack the court? Will he allow businesses to go back to China? Etc. who knows. (the answer to anything he doesn’t answer is not what we want to hear.) So, Lying Joe is still lying and people are taking it all in.
Wow, Biden has his work cut out for him. Only 19,000 (or whatever the current number while in office is) more lies to catch up to Trump.
Biden would make a mint if he were a Realtor. He would tell the prospective buyer to sign the contract after providing all necessary info to complete the deal and then,,,,,,, I will tell you the price when the deal is consummated. He probably would be very successful. Some of the above comments from his admirers confirm they are just like Biden… they don’t have a clue either. I have seen socialism and communism an Marxism throughout my military career. It just boggles my mind that even some with PhDs either lack incite, cannot comprehend what they read or just don’t care. Please pray for all to see – for all to understand – for all to care – for all to realized this is a trial -they will eventually see GOD. I have been by the side of many atheist who on their dying breath asked to help them pray.
