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

The Nutty Professor?
Ah well. Another day, another Slo Joe weird comment.
All the R’s have to do now is make a compilation Super PAC video of all of Biden’s strange, incoherent comments and run it constantly on TV. Normal people will see he isn’t mentally capable of being President.
Don't tell Whoopi Goldberg, though. Let her continue embarrassing herself to her dolt "View"-ers.
A true Professor of Gaffology! He makes up more stuff than -she who he would like to sniff up- Hillary!
LOLARMAOOTF!
Maybe a word that means slow and painful (political) death, with sudden attacks of comical unintentional humor.

RE: Professor Irwin Corey:
As a kid I thought that guy was hysterical.
Having lots of plastic surgery to make him look like his Dad - expect the switch to happen in late July....
I know I'm going out on a limb here, but if there is a single word in the English vocabulary that you will never hear a Democrat politician use for the next three or four generations, it would be the word, "deplorable".
(It's just a hunch.)
Be careful what you wish for; a debate between Biden and Trump may come across on television screens as outright elder abuse.
You’re right. “Deplorables” is reserved for Her Heinous alone.
BTW, have you ever heard any other Democrat use the winged phrase “the vast rightwing conspiracy”?
A trip to Fort Marcy Park for those who do.

Biden’s claim he ‘became a professor’ after leaving Senate sparks confusion
That headline is a little jumbled, it should read. Biden’s confusion made him claim he became a professor after leaving the senate.
Fixed it.
