Biden Lies Again: Claims He Attended A Historically Black College
(Chaz Anon) Dishonest Joe Biden has been caught in another lie, this time alleging that he had attended Delaware State University. Compulsive liars like Joe can’t keep track of all their lies, so they have to keep lying to cover up other lies. It’s a perpetual cycle, one that Joe Biden has given up even trying to cover up, cause his voter base doesn’t seem to care, probably because they are a bunch of liars themselves.
The director of news service for Delaware State, Carlos Holmes, said that the former vice president was never a student, though he has made appearances on campus twice before for commencement speeches at the university in Dover.
“Vice President Biden did not attend DSU,” Holmes said earlier last week. “However he was the Commencement keynote speaker in 2003 and [2016], and during the former he was awarded an honorary doctoral degree.”
Biden had made the claim during an October 2019 town hall event held at the historic Wilson High School in Florence, which was founded in 1866 by the Freedmen’s Bureau for Black children seeking an education.
“I got started out of an HBCU, Delaware State — now, I don’t want to hear anything negative about Delaware State,” Biden told the crowd, as shown on video. "They’re my folks.”
Earlier this month, the Biden-Harris campaign named Delaware State University President Tony Allen -- formerly a speechwriter in Biden's Senate office -- to its transition team advisory council.
Biden's 2007 memoir titled "Promises to Keep" details his years at private Catholic school Archmere Academy to his time as a freshman at the University of Delaware. There is no mention of Delaware State University.
This is not the first time Biden has faced controversy for embellishing his own biographical history. He has previously said that he was the first in his family to attend college and that his relatives were coal miners -- two statements he later recanted.
Others have also accused Biden of exaggerating his record on civil-rights activism.
