Any time Biden calls himself “Joey” —watch out for a whopper!
During a town hall for U.S. veterans in Delaware on Friday, President Joe Biden made a bizarre claim about his Uncle winning —but never actually receiving —the Purple Heart for his actions in World War II.
“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.’”
From Fox News:
He continued, claiming, “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, OK?’ We had the family there.”
Biden concluded the story, claiming he gave the medal to his uncle despite his Frank’s humble protests.
Though the New York Post shot holes through the story in a Friday report, stating, “The known facts indicate it’s not true. Biden’s father, Joseph R. Biden Sr., died in September 2002 — more than six years before his son was elected vice president. Frank Biden, Joe Sr.’s brother, died in 1999.”
The piece also noted, “Frank Biden’s tombstone does not identify him as a Purple Heart honoree, nor does his obituary. A partial registry of known Purple Heart recipients also doesn’t note anyone by that name receiving the award, though that database is not comprehensive.”
