Biden Liar Liar

Contrary to what CNN wants you to believe "at this point," Biden has a long history of lies.

Last week, a video featuring CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale gained attention. If you're unfamiliar with Danny, he frequently appeared on CNN programs and wrote fact-checking articles during Trump's presidency. Interestingly, Danny's presence was less frequent during Biden's first two years in office. Even when he did fact-check Biden in the past, he often provided weak justifications and tended to emphasize that Biden wasn't as problematic as Trump. His recent posts mainly focus on fact-checking Republicans, except for one article about Biden and his lie regarding 9/11.

The video went viral because many were surprised to see Danny on video, highlighting that "this president has a pattern at this point of either inventing or embellishing stories about his own past." This fact-check stems from Biden's recent false claim while speaking to service members at a military base in Alaska, where he asserted that he was at ground zero the following day. However, Biden wrote in his 2007 memoir (which I've read) that he "headed back to the Capitol" on September 12, 2001, and spoke that day in the US Senate.

There is considerable speculation about why CNN is suddenly taking a critical stance on Biden. In addition to this recent fact-check, CNN reported on the White House's attempt to influence media companies' coverage of the recently announced impeachment inquiry and a CNN poll that showed unfavorable results for Biden.

Whether the media is shifting its stance on Biden because they don't want him to run again, these stories can't be disregarded, or they are trying to mend their reputation for bias is a topic for another discussion. However, I want to emphasize that this "fact-check" is incomplete. It's as if they are attempting to restore their journalistic reputation without being too harsh on Biden.

In Danny's fact-check of Biden's 9/11 claims, he also addressed several other statements made by Biden within a week. These included claims of witnessing a bridge collapse in Pittsburgh, participating in civil rights protests, and driving a tractor-trailer. I will provide more details on all of these in this article. However, it's worth noting that Danny didn't mention some of the more serious claims, such as Biden's personal family tragedies and others. The main point here is that contrary to Danny's statement that "this president has a pattern at this point," it's crucial to recognize that Biden has a long history of making false statements, which I will explore further in this piece.

What I won’t be including today are Biden’s many falsehoods surrounding Biden Family corruption and how he, along with his family, have leveraged Joe’s political influence to benefit them financially. That is a series on its own.

Instead, I am going to be focusing on his smaller, most persistent lies. Biden's history of falsehoods extends across his entire political career, ranging from benign alleged conversations with an Amtrak conductor to elaborate tales of involvement in civil rights arrests and even false accounts of family tragedies. The last one personally gives me the most ick. What makes Biden particularly intriguing is his insistence on sticking to these lies even when presented with evidence to the contrary. And he can’t blame old age because he has been doing this for decades. It's as if he believes he's immune to the scrutiny of reality, which shouldn’t be a shock considering how the media runs cover for him.
