Joe Biden Recalls Conversations with Uncle and Father at a Time When Both were Dead

President Joe Biden shared a story Friday of conversations he had with his father and uncle when he was elected vice president, although both were dead at the time he claimed he had the exchanges.

The president made remarks about his family history during a town hall event for veterans in Delaware.

He said:

You know, I — my dad, when I got elected vice president, he said, ‘Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge.’ He was not feeling very well now — not because of the Battle of the Bulge. But he said, ‘And he won the Purple Heart. And he never received it. He never — he never got it. Do you think you could help him get it? We’ll surprise him.’

But the dates do not line up.

Biden was elected vice president in 2008.

President Biden’s uncle Frank Biden died in 1999, according to his obituary. – READ MORE
