President Biden recently made some puzzling comments in an interview with Howard Stern. Here are the key points:
- Biden claimed he saved lives as a lifeguard when younger but only mentioned it now at age 81
- He said he gave inappropriate photos to the Secret Service as a Senator, but Senators don’t have Secret Service
- Biden stated he protested segregation on a Black family’s porch and got arrested, which seems doubtful
- He also said he was a “state scorer” in football, a term that doesn’t seem to exist
So what’s going on here? Why is the President making these bizarre claims?
Biden’s Bizarre Interview Comments
In the interview, President Biden told Howard Stern several strange stories that don’t add up. He said when he was a lifeguard at a pool, he saved “a half a dozen” people from drowning. However, he just now mentioned this remarkable claim atย 81 ,ย when heย isย old.
Biden also stated that whenever he received inappropriate or “salacious” photos of women as a Senator, he would give them to the Secret Service. However, regular Senators do not have Secret Service protection; only confident leaders like the President do.
The President then claimed that when he was young, he joined a Black family on their porch while protesting segregation and got arrested for it. It’s unclear why he would have been arrested for peacefully protesting in this manner.
Perhaps most oddly, Biden said he was a “state scorer in football” when younger. No position in football is recognized for that title.
Concerns Over Biden’s Fabrications
Many wonder why the President is making up unbelievable stories and claims that don’t hold up under scrutiny. Is he becoming confused or forgetful? His critics claim Biden has “lost it” and can no longer keep his lies straight.
Judge Jeanine Pirro blasted Biden on “The Five,” saying, “The guy has lost it…He comes up with even more lies. The guy is a plagiarist. He has plagiarized his whole career.”
She called out several of Biden’s far-fetched interview stories as blatant falsehoods, asking, “Why would they arrest you?” for the segregation protest claim. Pirro questioned how someone can represent America on the world stage when he can’t keep his backstories consistent.
Calls For More Press Access
Meanwhile, the New York Times criticized Biden for severely limiting interviews and press access compared to past presidents. They warned it “establishes a dangerous precedent that future presidents can use to avoid scrutiny and accountability.”
Biden may avoid more brutal questioning about his concerning behaviour and statements by only giving interviews to favoured softball outlets like Stern’s shipments.
While one guest on “The Five” praised Biden for opening up about mental health struggles, others felt his talk was “cheap” without any meaningful action to address crises like crime, drugs and inflation impacting American lives.
As concerns grow about Biden’s fabrications and avoidance of mainstream media, the pressure may increase on him to commit to more open press availability. Should Biden face more media questioning about his odd statements and stories? Or is this just how the 80-year-old communicates now?
