Joe Biden has made another false claim related to his work in the civil rights movement at a White House screening of the movie Till.
The film is about the real-life story of the lynching of Emmett Till.
The Gateway Pundit reports that Biden stated that he got involved with the civil rights movement during his time as a public defender. This is something that can be confirmed to be completely inaccurate.
Biden said the following at the White House before the screening of the movie: Folks, I thought I got involved in the civil rights movement as a public defender, as my colleagues know, when I was a kid getting out of law school.
As it turns out, Biden was never involved in the civil rights movement, which is a lie when he claims he did. The lie that he has been telling has already been debunked. He has been making similar claims dating back to 1987. At that time, Biden said he marched in the civil rights movement marches.
Biden finally owned up to the fact that he did not march in those demonstrations at the time. However, some are understandably offended that Biden continues to make these false claims.
The fact that the President thinks it is even remotely appropriate to continue to make false claims that cast himself in a heros light when he is about to screen such an important film at the White House is alarming to many Americans. They dont understand why the President would say these things when he is not a part of the civil rights movement and hasnt been in the past.
There are many reasons to be concerned that the President feels comfortable stretching the truth like this when it fits his needs.
