Joe Biden told a harrowing story during an event in 2017 about facing down a razor-wielding gang leader named Corn Pop in his youth by threatening to wrap a chain around the mans head. The incident came back into the spotlight over the weekend when footage of Bidens remarks began circulating social media.
The former vice president, who has come under scrutiny in recent weeks for embellishing portions of his personal and political life, told the story when being honored with having a community pool named after him in a Wilmington, Delaware, historically black neighborhood. Biden had reportedly been the only white lifeguard at the pool during the early 1960s when segregation was still in effect.
The event started with Biden discussing how his time as a lifeguard had opened his eyes about racial injustice and privilege.

I heard that Corn Pop didnt die but went into the witness protection program. He changed his gang name to Puffed Wheat.
Corn Pop? yeah, I’e heard of him. I believe he’s T-Bone’s (Cory Booker’s buddy) daddy.

I wonder if the artist got nailed for making the token burnt corn pop a janitor ...
Sounds legit. I was known on the street as Capn Crunch. My gang was the Lucky Charms. We had turf wars with the Sugar Bears. And they said Dan Quayle was stoopid?
John Kerry got a Purple Heart when he took Corn Pop in the a**. Too far?
LOL. Thats the image some Marvel Comics Muslim lost his **** over.
Did you put Chips Ahoy out on the street so she could turn Trix?
Maybe he *is* a cereal liar -- but if not a true story, it's kind of an odd thing to make up in that time and place.
