President Biden is a man not known for eloquent speeches or truthful anecdotes. There’s his yarn about Corn Pop (a bad dude), his Amtrak conductor, his time as a semi-truck driver, the list goes on and on. The “Great Communicator,” Biden’s not.
In his widely panned speech in Georgia this week — the one Stacey Abrams couldn’t be bothered to attend, was smacked down by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and served as a “break point” in Biden’s less than year-old administration — Biden trotted out another of his tall tales. And it’s a doozy.
The Washington Post’s fact checker Glenn Kessler, seemingly growing tired of Biden’s baseless claims, headlined a piece published Thursday “Biden claims yet another arrest for which there’s little evidence.” Yes, another.
For his shameless manufacturing of a story to prop himself up while comparing roughly half the country to the president of the confederacy, “the president earns Four Pinocchios” from The Washington Post. But it’s unlikely to be picked up by others in the mainstream media, discussed on cable news, or raised by liberal reporters in the White House briefing room. And so Biden will continue to pander with his phony tales of heroism even as his support among the public continues to crater.
