    Default Joe Biden Resurrects False College Claim That Helped Ruin His 1988 Presidential Run

    Not as much ignorant of Biden's history, but more like liars.

    Joe Biden Resurrects False College Claim That Helped Ruin His 1988 Presidential Run

    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:



    Back in 1987, The New York Times published Biden’s quote admitting that was not true:

    In addition, Mr. Biden said … he had miscast some of his own forebears, painting them as having rather more humble origins than they in fact did. For example, borrowing Mr. Kinnock’s sentiments, Mr. Biden had said he was ‘the first in his family ever to go to university.’ In fact, Mr. Biden said today, ‘there are Finnegans, my mother’s family, that went to college.’
    Among others, his great-grandfather attended college at a time in which fewer than 2 percent of college-aged men and women in the United States did so. Now it’s around 60 percent.

    Anniversary Of Kinnock Plagiarism Scandal
    Biden’s first failed run for the presidency was ended by his dishonesty over his academic record and his plagiarism, including the biography and speeches of British Labor politician Neil Kinnock.

    On a campaign stop in New Hampshire in 1987, a voter asked Biden where he attended law school and where he placed in his class.

    Biden lashed out at the man angrily, making a series of claims that were not true:

    BIDEN: I think I probably have a much higher IQ than you do, I suspect. I went to law school on a full academic scholarship, the only one in my — in my class to have a full academic scholarship. In the first year in law school I decided didn’t want to be in law school and ended up in the bottom two-thirds of my class, and then decided I wanted to stay, went back to law school, and in fact ended up in the top half of my class. I won the international moot-court competition. I was the outstanding student in the political science department at the end of my year. I graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school and 165 credits — I only needed 123 credits. And I’d be delighted to sit down and compare my IQ to yours if you’d like Frank.
    .....

    Media Ignorance of Biden History

    The media praised Biden’s line about college, apparently unaware of its history. It was such big news at the time that even Johnny Carson mocked Biden for it. Politico’s Tim Alberta said it might be the “single-most effective line” deployed against Trump since his political career began.
