Joe Biden claimed twice recently that he met with Parkland, Florida, shooting survivors when he was vice president, despite the fact that he was already out of office when the attack took place. His campaign said Biden misspoke and was referring to a different meeting he had after the Sandy Hook shooting. But the flub was reminiscent of Biden’s past misstatements and his tendency to embellish biographical details.
In 1988, Biden was forced to drop out of the presidential race after he was found to have exaggerated his academic record, plagiarized a law school essay, and used quotes from other politicians in his speeches without attribution. But these are not the only questionable claims Biden has made. Here are six other times Biden was caught embellishing his biography:
1. Biden said his helicopter was “forced down” near Osama bin Laden’s lair in Afghanistan
2. Biden said he was a coal miner
3. Biden said he was “shot at” in Iraq v
4. Biden said he called Slobodan Milošević a “damn war criminal” to his face
5. Biden said he participated in sit-ins at segregated restaurants and movie theaters
6. Biden said he criticized President George W. Bush during lengthy private meetings in the Oval Office
