Republicans are fearful of the truth, so I understand this reaction.
Soooo......that's why you voted for this???
“I think I probably have a much higher IQ than you do, I suspect,” responded to question about his academic credentials during
his first White House bid in 1987. “I went to law school on a full academic scholarship, the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship. In the first year in law school I decided I didn’t want to be in law school and ended up in the bottom two-thirds in my class, then I decided I wanted to stay, went back to law school and, in fact, ended up in the top half of my class. I won the International Moot Court Competition, I was the ‘Outstanding Student’ in the Political Science department at the end of my year. I graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school and 165 credits, only needed 123 credits, and I’d be delighted to sit down and compare my IQ to yours, if you’d like, frankly.”
As you can see, Joe Biden has always had the fire in his belly for politics. The only problem with the above response is
none of it was true.
Aside from the face that there’s fuzzy math involved in saying you moved from the bottom two-thirds of you class to the top half (there’s a lot of overlap there for both to be true simultaneously), Joe Biden graduated 76th out of 85 people in his law school class. Unless he didn’t attend his last year, the only time he was likely near the top half of his class was the first day of his first year.
Moreover, he didn’t get an academic scholarship, he received a needs-based scholarship and grants. He only has two undergraduate degrees, not three. And he was only nominated for the “Outstanding Student” award. He didn’t win it, and that’s only allegedly because the “correction” he issued later was based on his obviously faulty memory of his own life.
The only part of his rant that may be true is the unverified claim that he’d won the International Moot Court competition
. The New York Times reported back in 1987 that Biden told them “he had won such a competition, with a partner, in Kingston, Ontario, on Dec. 12, 1967.” How he remembered the exact date while forgetting seemingly everything else about his life remains a mystery.
How did he explain these lies back then? His excuse is one for the books. “I exaggerate when I'm angry,” Biden told the
Times. Hilariously, he concluded that statement with, ''but I've never gone around telling people things that aren't true about me.”
Joe Biden has always had a strange, tenuous grasp on reality. He’s known for gaffes and goofs. It’s part of his “charm,” actually. When he was just the Senator from Delaware or a powerless second-fiddle and couldn’t do much harm, who cared? Now that there is even the remote possibility he could be the Democratic Party’s nominee for president it is downright terrifying.
His legislative record is from a time when Democrats supported bills that were tough on crime, opposed the legalization of drugs, opposed illegal immigration, were against reparations for slavery, and seemed to not hold the country in so much contempt. He’s going to have to run by denouncing and denying everything he’s ever been.
Joe Biden has demonstrated clearly that he has no problem doing that, it’s just a question of whether or not the “woke” crowd that demands “purity of past” is willing to accept it.

What Joe Biden’s (Non-)Apology to Anita Hill Reveals About Him
Six times Biden described major events in his life that never happened
Joe Biden
claimed twice recently that he met with Parkland, Florida, shooting survivors when he was vice president, despite the fact that he was already out of office when the attack took place. His campaign said Biden misspoke and was referring to a different meeting he had after the Sandy Hook shooting. But the flub was reminiscent of Biden’s past misstatements and his tendency to embellish biographical details.
In 1988, Biden was forced to drop out of the presidential race after he was found to have exaggerated his academic record, plagiarized a law school essay, and used quotes from other politicians in his speeches without attribution. But these are not the only questionable claims Biden has made. Here are six other times Biden was caught embellishing his biography:

“I had nurses at Walter Reed hospital who would bend down and whisper in my ear, go home and get me pillows. They would…actually breathe in my nostrils to make me move, to get me moving,” the former Delaware senator and Obama’s VP for eight years asserted.
They can no longer do this, however, “in COVID time,” he added, which is reassuring, assuming anyone buys this breathy anecdote in the first place.
Perhaps this is why nearly 40% of likely voters believe that Biden, 77, is experiencing some form
of dementia, including 20 percent of Democrats, according to a recent Rasmussen poll.”
Biden confounds when he says Walter Reed nurses used to ‘breathe in his nostrils’ to keep him going
Truth.
Are you stupid, or simply an inveterate liar yourself????
Which is it?
