President Joe Biden appeared to be rewriting history on Friday afternoon as he claimed to have visited the war torn countries of Afghanistan and Iraq as many as 39 times, despite the true number being closer to 21.
He made the astonishing claims as he spoke to war veterans in Delaware and also told them a previously unheard story of how his uncle Frank Biden won a Purple Heart medal for his service during the Battle of the Bulge in 1944 during World War II.
There appeared to be some glaringly inaccurate key details in his tale - including there being no evidence of such an honor ever being awarded.
Biden went on to explain how his father urged him have his brother, Frank, be awarded the prestigious medal.
The president claimed all of this happened when he had been elected as vice president, in 2008. However, his uncle Frank had passed away in 1999 and his own father died in 2002 making such a conversation impossible.
'My dad, when I got elected vice president in 2008, he said, "Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge." He was not feeling very well now — not because of the Battle of the Bulge, but he said, "and he won the Purple Heart and he never received it. He never got it. Do you think you could help him get it? We will surprise him"', the president said during his remarks on Friday.
'So I got him the Purple Heart. He had won it in the Battle of the Bulge. And I remember he came over the house and I came out and [my father] said, "Present it to him, okay?" We had the family there,' Biden continued.

It’s his stutter, yeah that’s it.
Did he strangle Corn Pop with his bare hands?
Plagiarism, lies, defamation of character, maybe sexual assault. It’s a long way from the “I cannot tell a lie” story of George Washington. Even if apocryphal, at least that story paid homage to the sanctity of honesty and character. We’re not in Kansas anymore.
Corn Pop used his own hands
Yes, he did, but before that Biden did 100 pushups and let Corn Pop first feel his curly hair on his legs.
I heard that after he was touched by the Biden he straightened his life out, joined the Air Force and be became ‘Ghost Pop’ who is revered the greatest aviator of all time after McCain.
You also do not “win” a medal. You are awarded a medal.
He was on a roll today!
“What did you win?!?”
“A permanent disability in my right hip from shrapnel!”
“You lucky dog...”
Biden is such a liar and opportunist that he doesn’t understand the difference between reality and the pure bull$hit that he spouts. He is in a reality of his own delusion.
Pathological liars lie
. even when there is nothing to be gained from the lie
. even when there is no understandable reason for the lie
. even when they know they will be caught lying
. even when there is more to lose from lying than not
. even when logic, reason, and rational thought dictate silence
Pathological liars are mentally ill, and likely mentally deficient.
sadly, not newsworthy anymore, everyone knows, even Dems, that he is senile, a pathological liar, or both.
Virtue through another’s stolen valor. (that’s disgusting)
For us normal muggles, reality bites us hard in the ass when we say stuff like that. No one would let us live down the shame of telling such whoppers.
There is no one and nothing to push back hard against Joe when he spouts his Commandef McBragg-worthy malarkey.
Someone should tell Deferment JoeTatoe that you don't "win" medals in the military.
You are awarded them.
Most oddly when Joe Biden says these things, he thinks it is true. Joe has confused past lies with truth and he does not know the difference as he is mentally compromised.
