BREAKING NEWS – Birmingham, Alabama – A newly surfaced video clip from 2017 shows Joe Biden recounting a bizarre alleged incident in which he deftly avoided a razor-and-chain fight with a gang leader, when Biden was serving as the only lifeguard at a predominately black Delaware pool in the summer of 1962.
“And the gang leader was a bad dude. And he ran a bunch of bad boys. And so he was up on the board and wouldn’t listen to me. I said, ‘Hey, Esther, you! Off the board, or I’ll come up and drag you off.’ Well, he came off, and he said, ‘I’ll meet you outside.'”
But Biden’s lifeguarding tale was immediately questioned by commentators within the black community. Former Delaware NAACP President Richard Smith said he admired the he “stood his ground”, but he doubts Biden’s conclusion of the incident, when the former VP alleged that the leader who was dressed in red eventually backed down, got into a sled with some extremely short men, and some reindeer pulled them away… in mid-July.”
