Another Touching Biden Story Turns Out To Be Total BS

Someone et this man a chair, he needs to take a seat. Biden’s at it again. Just telling tall tale because the media won’t call him on it. This time, the lunatic claimed that his father asked him to percent his uncle with a purple heart once Biden became vice president—Just one tiny issue: They were both dead.

But the madness doesn’t end there…

Biden, December 16th:

“On the Finnegan side of the family, four brothers. Every single one volunteered the very next day, on Monday, to join. My uncle, Frank Biden, joined. My father was working in the shipyards.

The fact of the matter is that, you know, it wasn’t a second thought. They just showed up. And there’s a generation, represented by you, Ray, that doesn’t look for accolades.

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.”

So we got him the Purple Heart. He had won it in the Battle of the Bulge. And I remember he came over to the house, and I came out, and he said, “Present it to him, okay?” We had the family there.

I said, “Uncle Frank, you won this. And I want to…” He said, “I don’t want the damn thing.” (Laughter.) No, I’m serious. He said, “I don’t want it.” I said, “What’s the matter, Uncle Frank? You earned it.” He said, “Yeah, but the others died. The others died. I lived. I don’t want it.”

Biden’s uncle passed away in 1999 and his father died in 2002—Do you remember when Biden became Obama’s vice president? Years later in 2009. So that didn’t happen…

No surprise, but is any part of the story true? Well…

According to Traces of War, a website on the history of global conflicts, says about 1.1 million World War II veterans received a Purple Heart, but its list of Purple Heart recipients does not include Frank Biden. The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor also keeps a list of those honored with the award, but Frank Biden does not appear on that website, either.

After doing some digging we found that Biden’s uncle Frank was discharged from the military about 7 months after the Battle of the Bulge began. There are no records confirming that he was ever there, but it’s possible?

So… Yeah.
