More campaign trail claims from Democratic nominee Joe Biden have been called into question — this time his tales of being “raised” in a black church in Delaware where he was supposedly a civil rights organizer.
The former veep, 77, has repeatedly spoken about participating in the civil rights movement as a teenager in the 1960s and of attending organizing sessions at the Union Baptist Church in Wilmington — then run by the Rev. Otis Herring, an acclaimed pastor who died in 1996.
But congregants and a longtime assistant to Herring at the prominent black church told the Washington Free Beacon this week that they never remembered Biden attending as he claimed, and said he met Herring as an adult.
When asked if Biden attended Union Baptist, Phyllis Drummond, Herring’s longtime assistant who attended the church for four decades, said: “No. Not at our building.”
Juanita Matthew, another longtime member, told the Free Beacon that she also wasn’t aware of Biden’s attendance as a high school student.
She said Herring only befriended Biden after the newly elected senator’s wife and daughter were killed in a tragic car accident in 1972, but called the lawmaker “a great friend of the church and the pastor.”
In various stump speeches during the Democratic primary, Biden repeatedly claimed he was at Union Baptist every weekend and was involved in organizing anti-segregation protests.
“When I was a teenager in Delaware, for real, I got involved in the civil rights movement,” Biden told a crowd of parishioners at the Bethlehem Baptist Church in South Carolina on Jan. 20.

This is worse than “stepping in it”. He’s sloshing around up to his knees in it. GO HOME!!
I’ve been watching a lot of “The Office” reruns lately. It’s finally occurred to me. Biden reminds me of Michael Scott.
Joe saw The Jerk (1979) ?
“When asked if Biden attended Union Baptist, Phyllis Drummond, Herring’s longtime assistant who attended the church for four decades, said: “No. Not at our building.”
I’m a few years younger than Biden and I remember that in the ‘50s, Baptists and Catholics weren’t all that ecumenical. I can remember priests saying that while it might be theoretically possible for a Protestant to go to Heaven, it wasn’t very likely. And Baptists were reluctant to acknowledge Catholics as being Christians at all.
So which is it Joe, you a lifelong Catholic or were you raised in a Baptist church?
He probably had lunch one time, to establish his street cred.
“for real” = lying my butt off.
Given this guy’s background, is anybody really surprised that he made this claim?
It reminds me of a movie I saw a long time ago. I think it was The Jerk. It starts out with Steve Martin saying something like “I was born a po black child”.
Does anyone know of anything about which Joe Biden has told the truth? Seriously. Maybe date of birth, since it’s easily checked.
What’s wrong with these black folk?! Don’t they know they’re supposed to smile and nod and yell “praise the Lord” when the Democrats use them as props?!?!
