One year ago today, Joe Biden recalled “the first time” he “got arrested” while protesting during the civil rights movement.

The only problem is there is no evidence Biden has ever been arrested, and he certainly wasn’t a civil rights activist — despite repeatedly saying so.

But this claim is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Biden’s decades-long record of dishonesty.

Here are 21 made-up stories Biden has told about himself as president.

1. Biden claimed multiples times he spoke to the “inventor” of insulin.

Multiple scientists are credited with discovering insulin; two died before Biden was born and there is no evidence Biden met the others.

2. Biden claimed — on multiple occasions — he “used to drive” an 18-wheeler — sometimes with a woman he calls “Big Mama.”

Biden **rode** in an 18-wheeler once nearly 50 years ago. He’s never driven one. 

3. Biden claimed he “had a house burn down with my wife in it” and said they “almost lost a couple firefighters.”

In 2005, Biden’s house had a “small” fire that was contained to the kitchen and “there were no injuries.”     

4. Biden claimed he was “raised in the Puerto Rican community” of Delaware.

There is no evidence of this, of course. In Delaware in 1970, only 2,154 people — 0.39% of the state population — were of Puerto Rican descent.

5. Biden claimed he served as a “liaison” to Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir during the Six-Day War.

Biden was plagiarizing fellow students at Syracuse law school during the war and Meir wasn’t even prime minister.

6. Biden said he remembered “spending time” and “going to” the Tree of Life synagogue after the 2018 shooting.

The synagogue said Biden never visited.

7. Biden claimed his “first job offer” came from Boise Cascade, an Idaho lumber company.

The company said they have “no record of President Biden’s application or of him having worked for the company.”

8. Biden said after he was elected VP, he awarded his Uncle Frank with a Purple Heart.

Biden’s uncle — who was not a Purple Heart recipient — died in 1999 and Biden wasn’t elected VP until 2008.

9. Biden claimed he “was appointed to the [Naval] Academy in 1965.

There is no record of Biden being nominated to the Naval Academy, and Biden graduated from the University of Delaware in 1965 — making it impossible.

10. Biden claimed at least seven times that he had a conversation with an Amtrak conductor in 2012 or 2013 about traveling over 1 million miles on Air Force Two.

The conductor retired in 1993, passed away in 2014, and Biden didn’t hit 1 million miles on AF2 until 2015.

11. Biden claimed oil refinery pollution is the reason “I and so damn many other people I grew up have cancer.”

Biden doesn’t have cancer. He *had* skin cancer, but the cause was sun exposure — not pollution. Biden also previously blamed oil refineries for why he had asthma.

12. Biden frequently claims to have been a “full professor” at the University of Pennsylvania after being VP.

Biden took nearly $1 million from UPenn over a two year time frame when average undergraduate tuition increased by 8 percent, but he didn’t teach a single class.

13. Biden claimed his “great-grandpop was” a coal miner — something he has been saying for decades.

He wasn’t, a fact which Biden even admitted back in 2004.

14. Biden claimed his grandfather was an “All-American football player” at Santa Clara University. 

Santa Clara and NCAA records show no evidence of Biden’s grandfather being an All-American. 

15. Biden claimed he “could have been an All-American” football player.

Biden played on the *freshman* football team for part of *one* semester in college. That’s it.

16. Biden claimed he almost walked on to an unnamed NFL team and thought he “could make it in the pros.”

There is no evidence of this. Biden barely played any college football before his father forced him to quit the team because of bad grades.

17. Biden claimed he hit a ball 368 feet “off the wall” at his second Congressional baseball game.

Biden actually went 0-2, according to a 1974 newspaper article.

18. Biden claimed he was “shot at” overseas — something he also lied about in 2007.

It never happened.

19. Biden said that when he was a County Council member, a woman once asked him to remove a dead dog from her lawn — but instead of removing it, Biden claimed he left it on her doorstep.

When Biden told the same story a year earlier, he said he removed it. So, which is it?

20. Biden repeatedly claimed he was “involved” in the civil rights movement.

None of that is remotely true. Biden even admitted in 1987 he was “not an activist.”

21. Biden claimed “the first time” he “got arrested” was at a civil rights protest.

There is no evidence Biden has ever been arrested (despite repeatedly claiming he has been), and he was not a civil rights activist.

If you’re hoping to hear another one of these absurd stories, just tune in to Biden’s next speech.
