Joe Biden makes multiple dubious claims at CNN town hall
NY Post ^ | September 18, 2020 | Joshua Rhett Miller

Joe Biden is taking heat for misstating several facts during a CNN town hall in Pennsylvania, where he misled undecided voters about a number of points, including that he’d be the first president without an Ivy League degree and that President Trump hasn’t condemned white supremacists.

Biden, 77, boasted during Thursday’s town hall hosted by Anderson Cooper that he’d be first commander-in-chief to not have an Ivy League education on his résumé, seemingly unaware that President Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980, went to Illinois’ Eureka College while several other presidents didn’t even get a college degree.

“When you guys started talking on television about ‘Biden, if he wins will be the first person without an Ivy League degree to be elected president,’ I said, ‘Who the hell makes you think I need an Ivy League degree to be president?’” Biden said. “I’m not joking.”

He only lies when there's nothing available to plagiarize.

oh, but he was taking “tough questions” and answered them “competently” and was “clearly in command of the issues.”

I think Biden will soon claim to have invented the Question Mark.
Fact Checker: Mostly true.

“When you guys started talking on television about ‘Biden, if he wins will be the first person without an Ivy League degree to be elected president,’ ”

Harry Truman did not hold any degree.

>>Why does Biden have to lie in everything he says?<<

Not just lies but easily checked lies of substance. This is not predictions that did not pan out or different interpretations of a situation. These are flat-out baldfaced lies that a child of 6 with a smart phone and Google can shoot down.

The main reason is he will not get called on them. The msm might not be carrying his water while fellating him as they did with obozo’s campaings but it IS letting him slide on almost everything.

Truman’s just the most recent. 12,including Washington and Lincoln, had no degree at all. Looks like 12 Ivy Leaguers. F’in liar, and always has been.

Being asked questions by People who worked for your Campaign is not a Town Hall, it’s a 90 Minute long Commercial that your Campaign doesn’t have to pay for.

The Joe Biden CNN Town Hall was TV viewer bust from A-Z!!! The “Hill” has released these TV viewer numbers, Trump on ABC Town Hall 4,000,000 viewers, The Biden Town Hall TV viewers,on CNN, 1,150,000.

Biden vs, Hannity, Ingraham, & MSNBC.

- Biden, CNN, 1,150,000 TV Viewers
- Hannity, FNC, 3,000,000 TV Viewers
- Ingraham, FNC, 3,000,000 TV Viewers
- MSNBC, 2,700.000 TV Viewers

As usual CNN remains in the Basement Cave With Sad Sack, Democrat Party 2020 POTUS Candidate Joe Biden!!! Poor Joe Biden, no political rally supporters show up and tiny TV audience tunes in to Fake News Town Hall!!!

I did a quick tally on Wikipedia. Of the 45 presidents, 22 had no connection to an Ivy League Univ. for any degree or attendance. If Trump said this, he would be charged with lying and probably impeached.
