CLAIM: President Joe Biden claimed during a commencement speech at the United States Military Academy West Point that he turned down an offer to play football at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
VERDICT: False.
Biden has previously told different versions of this claim to graduates at the U.S. Naval Academy and the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado.
In his claim, Biden says he applied to the Naval Academy in order to play football. He was appointed to the Naval Academy by former Delaware Sen. J. Caleb Boggs (R) in 1965. However, the president graduated from the University of Delaware in 1965, which makes it unlikely he would have applied to attend the Naval Academy then.

He was too busy becoming a Navy SEAL to attend…err wait, that’s for his speech at Annapolis
HE CERTAINLY DOES BELIEVE ALL THESE LIES.
IN AN HONEST WORLD, HE WOULD BE IN A HEAVILY PADDED ROOM.
Yessiree...’I clearly remember him substituting for Roger in order to beat Army...
He threw 5 touchdown passes in the 4th quarter...
While Beau cheered from the 50 yard line.
It’s a shame b/c Beau died in Vietnamistan a year later.
Little known fact is that Joe had four hungry New Guinea cannibals as offensive linemen...
” He was appointed to the Naval Academy by former Delaware Sen. J. Caleb Boggs (R) in 1965”
Wrong.
Boggs may have NOMINATED him, but the Academy selection board makes the appointments. They would have an actual record of that.
Typically they will consider about 5000 nominations and extend about 1400 appointments according to their own websites.
“For a brief time after losing my gig to go to the Academy, I fell in with an activist group that called themselves The Rebellion Alliance. Got mixed up in a crazy scheme to torpedo a battlehip station that threw out laser beams an’ blew stuff up. Well, torpedoin’ stuff was my stock n’ trade. Lay down that torpedo like nobody’s business. Think I’m kiddin’? Well, that’s what The Princess told me. *henh!* Anyway, so all us kids drive our dragsters at this thing an’...well...you can guess what happened. A guy named Ham Sandwich blocks three defenders all by himself. I put that torpedo through the uprights an’ Ham says ‘That was a one in a million shot, kid! Ya did great!’ No joke! But...Some guy name Luke got the credit, an’ a medal, an’ a bunch of money. Told myself, ‘let that poor kid from nowhere have it.’ An’ here I am today. Oh. The Princess? Luke’s sister. *wink* No lie. *henh!*”
And our repulsive media give him a pass for all of his BS.
Yep, just a kindly old guy with a bad memory.....
He threw 5 touchdown passes in the 4th quarter...
= = =
With a different cheerleader between each one.
Joe was personally recruited by Admiral “Bull” Halsey
Geez...and the Cowboys had told Biden they were ready to draft Biden as their QB.
He couldn’t hold Roger’s jock strap
Recall that elite fake news lackey Brian Williams also voiced delusional tales of personal grandiosity ... also to the amusement of all.
When did Walter Mitty become President?
George Costanza noted that if you believe it, it’s not a lie.
