Former Vice President Joe Biden is unapologetic for fabricating an emotional story about the war in Afghanistan, claiming its “essence” is true. Biden, who is under fire after The Washington Post exposed a story he told about pinning a medal on a reluctant Navy officer as inaccurate, defended his conduct while campaigning in South Carolina on Thursday.
“I don’t understand what they’re talking about, but the central point is it was absolutely accurate what I said,” Biden told The Post and Courier when asked about the controversy. “He refused the medal. I put it on him, he said, ‘Don’t do that to me, sir. He died. He died.’”
The story, in question, entailed the former vice president being asked by a four-star general to travel to Afghanistan to honor a Navy captain who risked his life to save a downed comrade. As Biden recollected to more than 400 voters in New Hampshire last week, the captain “rappelled down a 60-foot ravine under fire and retrieved the body of an American comrade, carrying him on his back.” When the captain’s superiors sought to honor his bravery with a “Silver Star,” the officer refused, as his comrade had died during the mission.
Initially, raw emotion Biden exhibited during its telling made a significant impression on those in attendance, including members of the press. Unfortunately for Biden, however, the story’s strong impression also meant it would be heavily scrutinized for accuracy — a process it could not withstand.
As the Washington Post reported on Thursday, “almost every detail in the story appears to be incorrect” upon closer investigation.

Truth over facts. It’s the thought that counts.
There is delusion at the core of every liberal.
They are now called “Bidens”
Joe Biden’s ‘essence’. LOL
Why do my thoughts immediately go to Sterling Hayden’s character in Dr. Strangelove. LOL
Can't improve on that assessment. Joe Biden, when he does not openly plagiarize from somebody else, inserts himself into the narrative in the most self-congratulatory way he can imagine.
And Joe Biden can imagine a lot.
His word as a Biden. Trump claims that his campaigned was spied upon (which was true), and the media has a cow. Biden can’t tell reality from hallucination, and it is “essentially” true.

Bid my blood to run (I can’t wake up)
Before I come undone (Save me)
Save me from the nothing I’ve become
Bring me to life
I’ve been living a lie
There’s nothing inside
Bring me to life
AOC has met her match.
“Truth” is not in liberals’ vocabulary.
““This is the God’s truth,” “My word as a Biden.”
He’s lucky lightning didn’t strike.
So, how much is the “word as a Biden” worth?
Let me answer that ... WORTHLESS, just like the man.
biden... feh
"Of course the media will report his gaffe, and rationalize it, and not attack or even meaningfully criticize any Democrat still in the race. And Joe will win the nomination, just as I predicted -- and because he's so damaged his own candidacy, not to mention his reputation, he'll lose at least 40 states, and the election."
Ayone who has dealt with a loved one or a family member afflicted with Alzheimer’s/Dementia would see that “Slow Joe” is in the early stages of the disease.
Seems to me I recall an incident where Biden was consoling parents of a military hero and he said to the father, “Your son must have had stones the size of boulders,” for some heroic action he had done. Does anyone remember that incident? The father was puzzled and troubled by the remark from the sitting VP.
The whole world is laughing at Slow Joe and his over drama, and he is too obtuse to even be aware of it, my word as a Biden, lol.
It would be one thing if a a chunk of the populace were being duped. But they willingly embrace sad clowns like Biden and Warren who double down on their lies and frauds.
