Joe Biden Keeps Lying — But You Won’t Hear It From Liberal Media​


"When I left the United States Senate I became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania … and the University of Delaware has the Biden school as well, so I’ve spent a lot of time … on campus with college students.”

LIE 1!
with two lies:
The problem? Biden never actually taught at Penn.
Last year, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Biden was paid more for the professorship than he’d made as vice president — $371,159 in 2017 plus $540,484 in 2018 and early 2019 — for what it called “a vaguely defined role that involved no regular classes and around a dozen public appearances on campus, mostly in big, ticketed events” (the average salary for a Penn professor, for comparison, was $217,411 in 2017-18).
LIE 2!
Though hastily forgotten, if indeed many noticed it at all, Biden last summer spun an elaborate tale about visiting Afghanistan to honor a Naval officer who he said had rappelled down a ravine while under fire to retrieve the body of a fellow soldier. “This is God’s truth,” Biden said, “My word as a Biden.” But as the Washington Post, having investigated the story, put it at the time:
FACT:
… almost every detail in the story appears to be incorrect … it appears as though the former vice president has jumbled elements of at least three actual events into one story of bravery, compassion and regret that never happened … The upshot: In the space of three minutes, Biden got the time period, the location, the heroic act, the type of medal, the military branch and the rank of the recipient wrong, as well as his own role in the ceremony.

LIE 3..
More recently, Biden claimed several times to have been “arrested” in the 1970s while “trying to see” Nelson Mandela in prison, a claim that seems to have been entirely fabricated

LIE 4...

Biden’s 1988 presidential campaign, after all, was derailed in a matter of days as a result of similar (and in some cases, identical) falsehoods alongside a plagiarism scandal that saw him lifting oratory almost word-for-word from British Labour leader Neil Kinnock.

Biden is a proven liar!

But where is the MSM like they were regarding Trump?
Remember this statement was a TOTAL Fabrication by the MSM regarding Trump!
Case in point:
"There were very fine people on both sides, (This is what the majority of MSM reported as Trump's comment)
"& I'm not talking about the Neo-nazis and white supremacists because they should be condemned totally."
B
How many people still think Trump only said...There were very fine people on both sides, and didn't condemn Neo-nazis!

Let's start with your first assertion. Did you read your own link? If you had, you would have seen this:

Biden’s official title was the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor — the first person to hold that job — and he also lent his name to the school’s effort to expand its footprint on international affairs.

You may not like it but the title of professor was given to Biden by the University. Get it now? Let me know if you are still confused.
 
Joe’s a liar just like Don. Yet another thing they have in common, besides following the same policies.
The major difference is that the BIASED MSM that donated 96% to Hillary and were pissed so they made 95% of the negative stories about Trump then donated 90% to Biden!

Biden said "so I’ve spent a lot of time … on campus with college students.”
He never did!
The Inquirer also reported in 2019 that UPenn paid Biden more than $900,000 from 2017-2019. The newspaper cited a number of public discussions Biden has held at the Ivy League school, including one about his book. The Inquirer noted that doesn't include any of the private events Biden may have held at the school.

Temple University associate professor Douglas Webber who studies economics in higher education told the Inquirer of the amount Biden has received from UPenn, “I know that it sounds like a really big salary for not teaching, and that’s right, but even if he were teaching, that’s not the value that Penn is hoping to get from having him associated with them. They’re wanting prestige, they’re wanting to brag about this to donors. Penn plays with big money donors, and if this moves the needle even a little bit in terms of getting a big donation, then it’s instantly worth the investment.”
 
JOE Biden has claimed he became an Ivy League professor after leaving the Senate - despite never teaching a class.

The 77-year-old appeared to get confused during a virtual roundtable while taking questions from students about the debt crisis

Now, let's take your second assertion. First, you claim that the Lib media ignores Biden's lie and then here you mention that it was the Washington Post that broke the story that Biden's story was false. Which is it? Did the Lib media ignore it or not?

Nevertheless, on to the actual lie from Biden:

Biden visited Afghanistan's Kunar province in 2008, when he was still a U.S. senator, and was there when Major General David Rodriguez bestowed a bronze star on an Army enlisted man - Specialist Milez Foltz.

That is the only medal ceremony in Kunar province which comports with his telling.

But then in 2011, he went to Wardak province - where he did bestow a bronze star on a reluctant hero.

The recipient, Staff Sgt. Chad Workman, apparently did protest that his bravery wasn't worthy of recognition. He had run into a burning vehicle to save a friend's life, only to discover that his body was already 'melting.'
..
The daring cliffside descent in Biden's campaign story was that of another man, Army Ranger Kyle J. White, according to the Post.

He got his medal at the White House years later – a Medal of Honor – from President Barack Obama.

That means Biden conflated at least three stories which took place over six years and threw in a change of branch and moved the hero from being enlisted to being commissioned.

Challenged on it after the Washington Post published its analysis, he told its columnist Jonathan Capehart: ''I was making the point how courageous these people are, how incredible they are, this generation of warriors, these fallen angels we've lost.


So, yes, he did confabulate three stories to make it one. Yeah, he took a literary license but what was the moral of the story? Was it to enlarge his (Biden's) record? No, it was to show how brave our servicemen were.

As always, let me know if you are still confused.
 
Biden said "so I’ve spent a lot of time … on campus with college students.”
He never did!

Again, from your own link... did you read your link before posting? Do you know how to read?

Most of Biden’s public appearances at Penn have been big talks that rapidly sold out and drew enthusiastic responses from students, according to accounts in the Daily Pennsylvanian. Before one, he spoke to students at a voter-registration drive.

See the highlighted lines. How could Biden have received an enthusiastic response from students, if he had not spent time with them? Again, learn to read. Will save you from looking like a fool. Good luck.

Where in the below entire article is the above statement??????


Presidential candidate Joe Biden says he "became a professor" at an Ivy League institution...
only he never actually taught any courses.

During a virtual town hall with supporters, Biden, now the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, told one college-aged student in response to a question about what he's doing to appeal to young voters, "When I left the United States Senate I became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and I've spent a lot of time and the University of Delaware has the Biden school there as well so I spent a lot of time on campus with college students."

[RELATED: Students' reactions to Ukraine dealings complicate former VP Biden's 2020 chances]
However, according to the University of Pennsylvania, Biden was named the "Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor," meaning that despite holding the title of "professor," he has never taught a course. That was never the intention of the honorary title bestowed upon him.

It's unclear exactly how much time Biden has spent on campus, despite his claim that he has spent "a lot" of time on campus.
WATCH:

A Biden spokesperson told the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2019 regarding the former vice president's time at both the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Delaware, where he also heads a center, "He hasn't worked out a defined schedule for each campus yet, but his time will likely amount to about one day a week at each school with some ebb and flow depending on the work."

Do you need a media to tell you how to think? As far as an institution of higher learning paying a person for promotion and rubbing shoulders it's older that the nation itself in prestige and advertisement.

Not sure what you are reading... but I got it from the same source you mention here... Philadelphia Inquirer


The school has another professor of presidential practice — Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor and Republican presidential candidate. He appeared with Biden for at least two events on campus, including an April discussion on opioids, just weeks before Biden left to run for president. (Bush’s compensation is private.)

Most of Biden’s public appearances at Penn have been big talks that rapidly sold out and drew enthusiastic responses from students, according to accounts in the Daily Pennsylvanian. Before one, he spoke to students at a voter-registration drive.

“Biden remains a figure of intense fascination on campus. Students swarm the former vice president nearly every time he appears on campus this year, and events where he speaks consistently elicit a full house,” the newspaper wrote about that appearance in December 2017.


You guys should really need to take a reading/comprehension class. Good luck.

MY LINK Joe Biden Keeps Lying — But You Won’t Hear It From Liberal Media
And that is NOT your source!
Your source was Penn has paid Joe Biden more than $900K since he left the White House. What did he do to earn the money?
Totally different.

But the dream of hearing Biden regale students with White House palace intrigue was in fact always a dream: “He is not scheduled to teach a formal course at this time,” Annenberg School dean Michael Delli Carpini said at the time of Biden’s appointment.
And since, Biden still has not taught a single course at the school — despite having a six-figure salary and the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy & Global Engagement named after him.

BIG difference from the impression Biden gave when he said:
When I left the United States Senate I became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania … and the University of Delaware has the Biden school as well, so I’ve spent a lot of time … on campus with college students.”
Gross exaggeration!
