In 1860, Americans elected Honest Abe Lincoln. In 2020, Americans theoretically elected one of the most prodigious and infamous liars in modern American history. Joe Biden has a sterling reputation for routine dishonesty. He’s plagiarized, slandered, and prevaricated his way through 48 years of politics, before which he was a known plagiarist as a student. During a CNN town hall in Wisconsin, Biden went into dishonesty overdrive, spewing two major lies.
I wrote here about Biden’s most recent lie. During the debate in Georgia alone, Biden lied to or misled Americans another 33 times. In 2008, McCain’s campaign was able to identify Biden’s 14 major lies during the vice-presidential debate. Then there are the self-aggrandizing lies Biden tells whenever he gets a mic in his face.
And of course, there are the lies and plagiarism that got Biden kicked out of the 1988 presidential race (as well as a bonus lie about the Civil Rights Movement). If Diogenes had ever run into Biden, he would have tossed his lamp into the nearest gutter, gone to a bar, and drunk himself to death out of sheer despair.
Tuesday was an especially rich day for Biden lies, because CNN hosted a “town hall” for him in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In that supportive environment, Biden was able to get away with two blatant lies.

1. Biden lied that, when he entered office in January, his administration “didn’t have” a vaccine (emphasis added):
There’s just not all of a sudden 600 million doses are going to appear. What’s going to happen is it’s going to continue to increase as we move along, and we’ll have reached 400 million by the end of May and 600 million by the end of July. The biggest thing, though, as you remember, when you and I— I shouldn’t say it that way as you remember— when you and I talked last we talked about, it’s one thing to have the vaccine, which we didn’t have when we came into office, but a vaccinator. How do you get the vaccine into someone’s arm?
2. Biden lied that Trump never condemned the Proud Boys. This is an extension of Biden’s oft-repeated lie that Trump said white supremacists and Neo-Nazis are “fine people.” Thus, Biden claimed during the CNN town hall that, during his first debate with Trump, “I asked him to condemn the Proud Boys. He wouldn’t do it. He said stand by, stand ready or whatever.”
This is a twofold lie. First Trump explicitly condemned the Proud Boys, not just at the debate, but in the next days. Trump has probably condemned extremist groups more than all presidents put together – and Biden just keeps denying it.
Only two?
Was he called out on it? They would have a field day with Trump.
“Joe Biden has a sterling reputation for routine dishonesty”
“In Milwaukee, Joe Biden dropped two giant lies..”
..and 400 smaller ones.
Perhaps others have had this thought, but Joe Biden really show us how far the expectations of honesty and quality in Presidents has fallen. In 1988 Biden was laughed out of the race for his plagiarism and dishonesty. After the Clinton years, the bar fell so low that Bush seemed honest, if benighted, by comparison, and his mendacious justification for the Iraq War had no resonance, and the 9-11 Commission could dodge essential questions about the KSA nexus with terrorism. Then along comes Obama, who created his own “born in Kenya” story to market his egotistical biography. Trump, like him or not, used puffing and hype as his stock in trade, and certainly gave the Left ample excuses for portraying him as a liar.
Now the same old plagiarizing, serial lying, grifting, family-enriching Joe Biden, ridden out of town on a rail in 1988, is considered trustworthy for the highest offices in the land. Who is next, Joe Isuzu? If the government reflects the People, God help us.
Only two? He must be slipping.
Obiden is nothing but an egocentric liar. Always was, always will be. One of my neighbors told me “it’s about time we had an honest man in the white house”. I drove away laughing.
