New in PJ Media:
Old Joe Biden swung by Selma, Ala., on Sunday to commemorate the 58th anniversary of “Bloody Sunday,” the March 7, 1965, civil rights march in Selma that state troopers attacked with tear gas and clubs, leading to serious injuries to seventeen marchers. As is his longstanding habit, Biden seized the opportunity to embroider on his life story in order to demonstrate that he was not only on the side of the good guys, but had been all along.
“I was a student up north in the civil rights movement,” Biden informed his audience in Selma. “I remember feeling how guilty I was I wudden here. How could we all be up there? And you goin’ through what you were goin’ through, lookin’ at those — I can still picture…”
Here the available video mercifully ends, but Joe had made his point: he has been a civil rights campaigner for longer than most of you folks have been alive, see? There’s just one catch: he hasn’t.
“There is no evidence,” RNC Research tells us, that “Biden was ever involved in the civil rights movement as a student.” The RNC even added a blistering video compilation of “20 times Joe Biden LIED about being a civil rights activist,” going back to 1987. Old Joe’s lies about being a noble warrior for racial justice got so embarrassing during his alleged presidential campaign that even the Washington Post, ordinarily a reliable propaganda arm for any Leftist candidate, felt the need to try to explain away Biden’s repeated lies.
On June 12, 2020, it published a piece by (of all people) Glenn Kessler, ordinarily an indefatigable Biden apologist, entitled “Joe Biden’s shifting recollection on his civil rights activities.” “Shifting recollection” is the term the political and media elites use for what the ordinary folk refer to as “lies.”
Biden, Kessler noted, has a “tendency to embellish aspects of his life story.” And so in June 2020, the affable phony told the NAACP: “When, I started off as a kid, a young man in high school [was], uh, dealing with the issue. I got involved — I wasn’t any great shakes — but got involved in the civil rights movement. Desegregating restaurants, that kind of thing.” Kessler noted that Richard Ben Cramer’s book What It Takes, which profiles the 1988 Democrat presidential candidates, “described how Biden would talk about participating in civil rights marches — ‘remember how that felt’ — but ‘trouble is, Joe didn’t march. He was in high school, playing football.’”
Kessler asserts that Biden “participated in just one walk-out at one restaurant,” and “also picketed a segregated movie theater,” but conceded that the garrulous old liar has “gotten in trouble before for overstating his civil-right credentials.” That’s not remotely all that he has overstated and lied about.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Well Joe’s memories about his studies aren’t very accurate, he claimed to be top of his law class when in fact he was right down near the bottom.
The leftists don’t like the fact Joe Biden called former Exalted Cyclops of the KKK Robert Byrd a “mentor & friend” at Byrd’s funeral. All they can say is “oh, but he renounced his KKK membership”. Imagine if Trump was in Biden’s shoes on this, you would never hear the end of it on The View. As it is I don’t think they will be bringing it up.
And remember, according to Joe if you don’t vote for him, “then you ain’t black.”

His real comrades were those old Southern Dem Senators who had an awful record when it came to race relations. I’ve seen Mark Levin describe that at length
Siddi Nasrani says
I wouldn’t be surprised if old demented Joe says he can make everything just fine in broken America,
& you have to trust me as I am Jesus Christ !!
Walter Sieruk says
Of course , “Biden lies again” For Joe Biden has been lying for decades , So much so that we may be sure the he is a pathological liar and likewise being chronic liar is now part of his despicable character .
It might even be that with Biden’s fragile mental haze and he’s so self -deluded that he might really believe some of his own lies.
America surely doesn’t need anyone sitting in the Oval Office of the White House who has no concept of reality or grip on reality
Siddi Nasrani says
Well said, my view entirely.
dazzleme says
Walter, I agree totally, well said sir!
Walter Sieruk says
This is a fitting time to reiterate that :”joke” about that chronic liar Joe Biden , that isn’t really mean to be funny but to make a point.
It’s that “Joe Biden is such a pathological liar that if he tells someone that ‘It’s raining outside’ That person would be wise to first look out of window before believing creepy old Joe.”
Siddi Nasrani says
If old Joe tells you it’s raining inside, he is probably pissing on your trouser leg.
John Smith says
Ha, ha very funny Siddi. I pissed myself laughing at that.
somehistory says
Every audience where this lying fool speaks, should have a Joe Wilson.
Jim says
For such an outstanding president there is only one solution. Reelect him with an even bigger margin. 90 million. The sky is the limit.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
He should have simply claimed that he fought in the Civil War. It would have been more believable
somehistory says
If the spoke before the United Daughters of the Confederacy, would he claim to have worn the Gray? Or that he rolled bandages, and cried when Atlanta burned?
karin-ann tesdorf says
I could swear that I heard Biden say: ‘I was a Student up North In the Civil War’ …
Hudson says
He also helped MLK write his “I had a dream” speech.
OLD GUY says
Hey in the picture Joe found a telephone pole to talk too. He will be a line men tomorrow, and according to the pole the 2024 democratic candidate for President. He’s done it all!
James Lincoln says
Remember the tall tales of Brian Williams?
Biden makes Williams look like a “truth teller”…
