BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – President Biden falsely claimed earlier this week that he was the “first” person in his family to “go to college,” continuing a decades-long habit of making false or embellished claims about his life.
Biden has been scrutinized several times over the years for fabricating tales, including a claim he was arrested in apartheid-era South Africa, was in a helicopter “forced down” by al Qaeda insurgents in Afghanistan and even trivial events involving an Amtrak conductor who died before Biden’s alleged story took place.
“I, like an awful lot of people in this audience, was the first in my family to go to college,” Biden told the crowd.
However, less than two years ago, during a speech in Pennsylvania, Biden told an audience his grandfather played college football. He later stated that what he said was true, but his grandfather only played college fantasy football online in 1807.
