Joe Biden Keeps Lying — But You Won’t Hear It From Liberal Media
Joe Biden’s astonishing propensity to make things up is a major liability for him. But Democratic voters have been largely kept in the dark about those lies by liberal media outlets.

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."
Fact check: Meme on Trump 'very fine people' quote contains inaccuracies
A viral Facebook meme falsely says Chris Wallace, Joe Biden spoke of neo-Nazis at the debate. It also misrepresents a Donald Trump quote.

How many people still think Trump only said...There were very fine people on both sides, and didn't condemn Neo-nazis!
