The Democrat Party’s presumed front runner, Joe Biden, “creates wildly fictional storylines about his life and work that simply are not true.”
On the campaign trail, media pundits—especially Democrat party-aligned media pundits—have a tendency to forgive and excuse Joe Biden’s ‘misstatements’ as ‘gaffes’ that are sometimes attributed to his age.
However, those misstatements are not merely ‘gaffes,’ they are outright lies—and Biden has been doing it for decades, according to Shaun King, a well-known liberal civil rights activist and Bernie Sanders supporter.
“Since the early 1970s, Joe Biden has been a serial liar when it comes to his “work” in the Civil Rights Movement,” Shaun King wrote on his newsletter last week. “It’s the equivalent of stolen valor and is fundamentally disqualifying.”
In a lengthy twitter thread posted last week, King—a goes on to obliterate the argument that Joe Biden’s ‘occasional’ gaffes are age related and shows that his statements are a 50-year pattern of lies.
King states, Biden “is creating entire fictional storylines to impress white liberals & connect w/ Black voters.”
“When running for office, @JoeBiden does not just have gaffes or embellishments, he creates wildly fictional storylines about his life and work that simply are not true,” King writes. “These are lies. And he tells them to get votes and build a rep he has not earned.”
For nearly 50 years, @JoeBiden has publicly pretended to have been a part of the Civil Rights Movement.
He's not "exaggerating" or "embellishing," he is creating entire fictional storylines to impress white liberals & connect w/ Black voters.
It must be confronted
A thread…

Just 3 weeks ago @JoeBiden lied to say he protested the Vietnam War.
In 1987, he had to admit and apologize that he never protested it.
Here he admits that during the war he “wore sports coats” and hated “flak jackets and tie dyed t-shirts”pic.twitter.com/k47npB2PBi

I have counted 31 times from 1975 until THIS WEEK that @JoeBiden has lied about leading or participating in sit-ins during the Civil Rights Movement.
HE NEVER PARTICIPATED IN A SINGLE SIT-IN.
Never.
Here he lies to a state convention about it.pic.twitter.com/iVfedlFnXe

Another time where @JoeBiden sat he “sat-in and marched and all of that stuff.”
He did not.
His campaign admitted in 1987 that this was not true.
But over the past 2 months he has started to tell lies just like this again hoping people forgot. pic.twitter.com/LDONapXbTW

Here @JoeBiden lied about doing sit-ins in 1960 in Delaware.
I spoke to the actual leaders there.
HE WAS NEVER THERE.
The places he said he did sit-ins DID NOT EVEN HAVE SIT-INS.
Leaders in Delaware told me these lies are well known there.pic.twitter.com/bNnKyghgN6

This is LAST WEEK in South Carolina.
He’s in a church. And it’s abusive for him to do this.
And THESE ARE LIES.
Complete fabrications.
NONE OF THIS HAPPENED.
He must be held accountable for telling these lies. pic.twitter.com/13l6610r31

This is LAST MONTH in Iowa where @JoeBiden AGAIN began flat-out lying about what he did in the Civil Rights Movement.
THIS IS NOT TRUE.
He did not do the things he is saying he did here. He already admitted this in 1987.
It’s not OK.pic.twitter.com/0jZ8OmUFqz

“On the backs of people who actually paid an enormous price for being activists and organizers in the Civil Rights Movement, Joe Biden created a completely false narrative of his work and contributions to the movement that persists to this very day,” Shaun King writes.
Unfortunately, like his son Hunter Biden’s Ukranian ties, the Democrat party-aligned media is not likely cover this story.
