Biden's claim he 'became a professor' after leaving Senate sparks confusion

Former Vice President Joe Biden appeared to have made some factual errors during a virtual roundtable on Wednesday regarding this claim that he "became a professor" after leaving the Senate.

During an online campaign event, Biden took questions from young people and while discussing the student debt crisis, Biden spoke about all the time he had spent on "campus."

"When I left the United States Senate, I became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania," Biden said. "And I've spent a lot of time -- and the University of Delaware has the Biden School as well, so I've spent a lot of time on campus with college students."

Biden, quite notably, became vice president of the United States under President Obama when he left the Senate in 2009. It was, however, in 2017 when he received the title of "Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor" from the University of Pennsylvania.

Greg Price ✔ @greg_price11 So Biden just said "when I left the United States Senate, I became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania."

That's not true. He never taught a class.https://dailycaller.com/2020/02/28/biden-penn-professor-south-carolina/ …

According to The Daily Pennsylvania, the university opened the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, D.C., outside of its campus as part of the professorship.

In addition, Kate Bedingfield, a spokesperson for Biden at the time who now serves as his deputy campaign manager, told the paper, "He will not be teaching classes.”

Biden similarly claimed he "became a teacher" on the campaign trail back in February although he didn't specifically say where he taught.

The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to Fox

Holding a microphone at a University doesn’t make you a professor.

Last I heard, he found “art” and became an “artist.” Basically, he’s trying to reinvent himself (with help, I don’t doubt) as the opposite of an irresponsible, corrupt, playboy.

I don’t have a crystal ball but if there is going to be a 2020 election, it’s a safe bet that the DNC/DC Establishment will be left no choice but to pull/cancel Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy and they will do it in time to put Hillary on the democrat presidential ticket. A brokered convention will be the conduit they’ll use and Joe Biden will then support her to the death. Pun intended!

Yup. The loud mouth know-it-all who sits at the end of the bar, busting the bartenders chops with outrageous bs stories he’s told a thousand times trying to score with the cocktail waitress.

It’s OK - the New York Times and Washington Post believe anything that drops from Biden’s mouth... because they’re corrupt and stupid.

I do so hope for a debate between PDJT and Hillabitch.

She will shriek “deplorables!!!” every other sentence.

Trump will give her his trademark indulgent grin and she will then go total strawberry fields.

I cannot believe his wife who is supposed to be a medical doctor lets him continue like this. What people will not do for power.

By today’s lib definition of the word, “Pofessor”, PedoJoe makes an excellent “professor”, especially in the genre of ‘womens’ studies”. He’s the perfect, classic example of today’s lib professor....abeit an absent-minded one. But hey, a professor none the less. /s

It will gleefully destroy the communist RAT party...hopefully for good, or for at least the rest of this century. The BernieBots, and those like em, will riot and burn the party to the ground. Couldn’t happen to a better bunch of vile, evil, demented creatures.

He reminds me of the guy on the end stool at the corner bar. New comers sit by him once then either move someplace else or find another bar. Everybody else wonders why the bar owner let’s him chase business away.

The knives are out for Gropin' Joe and his own side is going to leave him in serving portions in a styrofoam tray at a seedy bodega somewhere. Discounted.

I do bear Joe ill will but a sense of common decency makes me recoil from the very things his own side is doing to him.

I cannot stand this guy, Democrat,Joe Biden, I have hated this weak sister “BS” artist for many years. His multiple appearances on the early years of NBC’s “Meet The Press” were both farce and joke at the same time.

But......as the years progressed, it is so readily apparent that Joe Biden is a sick, deranged, crazy, old age man...who is badly lost at sea and who belongs in an old age home. Beating up on him serves no purpose. His enemies are his fellow Democrats and his wife and family who just love making the “Village Idiot” of Biden in public, while they try to cover up for his short comings.

Biden while a buffoon, idiot, moron and weak sister, deserves better then that. His family and the Democrat leadership should remove him as a candidate for 2020 POTUS....period!!!
