- Biden has repeated the claim that he was involved in civil
rights activism during the 2020 Democratic presidential primary on a few
occasions.
- During a presidential primary debate in 2007, for instance, Biden revealed that he had been “shot at” while visiting Iraq.
- Now
officially the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden offered
himself to Americans this week as an affable, trustworthy and
experienced alternative for the White House.
- ''And I am no less
frustrated at the environment of presidential politics that makes it so
difficult to let the American people measure the whole Joe Biden and not
just misstatements that I have made,” he added.
- These controversies eventually forced Biden from the 1988 presidential race in September 1987.
- In
March of this year, Biden claimed he was arrested in South Africa while
trying to see the anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela.
- While
campaigning in New Hampshire, Biden told a supporter that "You cannot go
to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian
accent” in Delaware.
- And in May of this year, Biden told radio
host Charlamagne the God, "You ain't black" if you vote against him,
which sparked controversy.
- It was later revealed that Biden was
near the bottom of his law school graduating class at Syracuse
University's College of Law, specifically 76 out of 85 students.
- In 1987, Biden said he marched during the civil rights movement but some media outlets pointed out that was not the case.
- I’m
angry with myself for having been put in the position -- put myself in
the position of having to make this choice,'' Biden said.
- Biden once sparred in 1987 with a political reporter who asked him about his law school record.
- Eventually it was also revealed that Biden had used quotes in speeches as a U.S. senator from Bobby Kennedy, John F.
