Joe Biden is not the first person in his family to have gone to college. But he has a lengthy history of claiming otherwise, no matter how much the lie gets him in trouble.
Even after having famously admitted exactly 33 years ago to the day that he had family who had gone to college before him, Biden once again made the false claim at a CNN Town Hall on Thursday night. Biden enthusiast Charlotte Alter, a national correspondent at Time magazine, tweeted out his line, apparently unaware of its role in Biden’s 1987 presidential campaign collapse:(Snip) “Biden: Guys like me, the first in my family go to to

Was he off script? Or did his teleprompter mis speak?

At this point I gotta believe he's intentionally trying to sabotage his own campaign. putting aside his obvious mental deterioration for a moment...nobody's this intentionally stupid unless he's laying the groundwork of a 'convenient' excuse down to bow out of the race...and then try to slip someone else into place (albeit Heels Up Harris - OR - Harris agreeing in a devil's pact to remain as VP while PIAPS, Moochelle or someone slides in as Presidential candidate.)

Nothing he says about himself has to be true, it just has to be useful. He wants people to believe the ridiculous fiction he's just a working class guy like them so they'll vote for him. He's learned long ago that when you're a Democrat politician nobody actually expects you to tell the truth. You say what you have to say to get elected and everybody just forgets it after the election. I know its cynical but he's been running this scam for 50 years so you can't knock success.

at least he didn't pull out the big lie about how poor his family was.
His father owned a Chevrolet dealership in delaware, (remember how Jo spins that story? 'we had to leave Scranton so my father could find work. Bull sh*t.) and when Jo married his draft deferment, Nellie, Jo's father gave Jo and Nellie a brand new 1967 corvette as a wedding present..
It is difficult to imagine the owner of a new car dealership as poor.

This demented Idiot thinks he is smarter that the rest of the world. He is not trying to sabotage his campaign. Lies will catch up with him. They always do.

Dementia Joe lies about everything. His commercials - all lies. Everything they feed him on the teleprompter is a lie. Then, he turns around and calls President Trump a liar. The world is upside down- otherwise you would believe the polls - which are bigger lies!

I wonder why the media didn't mind exposing his falsehoods in 1988. I suppose they thought Dukakaka was going to be a winner that year. LOL.

Idiot Joe is at the stage that he can no longer know which stories that he has told actually happened and which are just some story that he made up and told a lot of times.
I wonder if ANY of his stories are true? I suppose his first wife and one son are actually dead. Other than provable stuff like that, I suspect that pretty much everything else is BS.

But it sounded so good when he first said it. He just had to say it again. Now let me say something again, another Biden golden oldie, care of my former ISP, AOL: During the 2008 run up to the election, breathless leftoids were assuring us that the Democrats Ubama and Biden were brainiacs of the first water. In reality neither of them was ever close to brilliant, yet in a blurb for an IQ test, AOL stated: "Joe Biden's IQ is 146. What's yours?" I took the same test, and scored 302.
You think those number are slightly inflated? I do, too. Way inflated. Ought to be ashamed of yourself inflated. Especially Biden's number. He was at best dull normal (< 90) without dementia when he entered the Senate--not the brightest bulb on the porch, but no more impaired than, say, Teddy Kennedy after a bottle of Chivas. Now SloJo's an imbecile with dementia (effectively lowering his number down to 50), tending toward idiot (< 25) when he thinks about women's sections of department stores. Every thought just leaps out of his mind as he recalls lingerie, perfume, and Clairol Herbal Essence. Pure frontier gibberish from out of the bluest blue. You know the thing. C'mon, man.

For some people, if they tell a lie often enough, they come to believe it themselves. At this point, I’d bet that Fingers has no clue that he ever got into trouble over this lie.

The part of the statement that jumps out at me is the reference to the “first family member in a thousand generations”. Really? Someone has been really diligent in tracing the family genealogy.

Typical democRAT political, lie, lie, lie. Maybe one day he will, though I doubt it, realise that he needs to just go home and retire. Best thing you could do Joe, don't let Jill push you around.

Dems like Joe are used to friendly treatment by media. Lies, flubs, misrepresentations are all brushed off, explained, "Golly Gee'd" away, ignored, and otherwise managed.
The reason the media is willing to overlook it NOW, is because Biden is all they have. They will do ANYTHING to protect him. 4 more years of Trump will reduce the media to the mouse that roared and they CANNOT accept that. They are desperate. They are willing to fall on their swords to protect Biden and stop Trump.

I've heard people say that everyone with alzheimers or dementia (same thing?) revert back to childhood. I believe it.
