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

I really feel sorry for this man.

He is going down Dementia Drive.

Really, it’s not funny. It’s terribly sad.

The only good thing is that he’s an easy target for a Trump win.

This need to embellish seems frequent in politics and the media. It goes along with their narcissism and need to think of themselves as amazing people.

Here’s video of the event. Looks like he has pink eye. Anyone know when he claims to say that he is a professor?

Thanks. And again, looks like he has pink eye. I just had it so it’s fresh on my mind. Could easily mean that something else is going on. I had it alongside a bad cold.

I’m sure the press will push the issue and we will have an immediate answer./s

Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement

That can't have been easy to paste onto a storefront mail slot.

I think Biden’s inner circle have been ordered to let Biden be Biden publicly so that when he’s pulled from the ticket there is no outcry from the Rat voters, because it will be so obvious that he’s mentally incompetent and needs to be replaced.

#6.> Re “A professor of what”? Try political disinformation, corruption, Ukrainian politics and economics, Chinese business practices, nepotism, and liberal stupidity. He excelled at all of these.

Providing us with jokes like Prof. Irwin Corey did as a comedian (and lifelong member of the Communist Party USA). Joe, however, is the leader of the “Absent-minded Party” aka the “Democrat Disinformation Party and Political Whorehouse”.

Didn’t Biden reply to a question about whether BK hamburgers were healthy for you by saying “But burgers are good for you”. Though Peter Buttigieg said that.

I worked on a pollution case in Delaware. I thought the Delaware River was more polluted than their corrupt politics but was I wrong.
