WAPO WALLOPS JOE?! 'That Time Football Legend, Rig-Driving Eligible Bachelor Biden Was Arrested'

It seems even the left has had enough of Joe Biden’s lies…

In an analysis by The Washington Post’s  Glenn Kessler on Tuesday, the WaPo columnist addresses Biden’s frequent, flagrant lies being told on the campaign trail. Did Joe drive an 18-wheeler? Did he get arrested for standing on the porch of a Black family? Was he a college football legend? No.

From The Washington Post:

Many of these tales are of relatively minor consequence — an apparent effort by the president to make a connection or show that he’s not just a politician. But throughout his career — most famously in his first presidential campaign, in the 1988 election cycle — Biden’s propensity to exaggerate or embellish tales about his life has led to doubts about his truthfulness. Judging from our mailbag, these stories grate on some people.

Here’s a roundup of recent stories that Biden has told. A number of these claims popped up during Biden’s hour-long chat on April 26 with Howard Stern on Sirius XM radio. Last year, we compiled a similar list of Biden tall tales.

Drove an 18-wheeler

When Biden spoke to supporters in Tampa on April 23, one audience member identified himself as a Teamster. “I used to drive an 18-wheeler,” Biden replied.

Appeared on a list of 10 most eligible bachelors

Three times in recent weeks — at an April 16 campaign event in Scranton, Pa., to supporters in New York on April 25, and to Stern — Biden said he was on a list of 10 most eligible bachelors after his first wife was killed in a car accident in 1972. Biden has made this claim at least twice before, saying in 2023 that he was on the list for five years. He married Jill Biden in 1977.

First in family to go to college

In April, while talking about student debt, and in February, while addressing union workers, Biden said he was the first in his family to go to college. “The first Biden to go to college,” he told union workers.

State runner-up in scoring in football

Biden was a football player in high school, but he exaggerated his record when he appeared on Howard Stern’s show.

Of course, these are all lies. Nearly none of Biden’s tall tails can be verified — and the media mob can’t even cover for him anymore.
