President Joe Biden really likes to tell stories in order to connect with his audience; he'll lie about where his son died if he thinks it will resonate with the crowd.
Back in 2021, Biden said that he was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania for the four years between being vice president and president. In 2022, he said he "really enjoyed teaching."

A month later, at the 2022 National and State Teachers of the Year Celebration, Biden said it was “hard” being a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
The University of Pennsylvania's president, Liz Magill, was on Capitol Hill Tuesday and was asked what Biden did in his time at the university in exchange for his $400,000 salary.

Penn parents and students: this is your tuition $ at work.
It's like a Mafia racket.

Didn't they use to call that "payola"?

A tale as old as time
Paid $400,000 for political favors and connections.

And people wonder why tuition is so high.
All I can think about is student loan relief when these universities & schools waste money, only to make it up with exorbitant tuition. Go after the endowments and let those & not the taxpayer help the students.

Students are paying inflated tuition costs so grifters like Joe Biden can make a quick $400k.
— @JoJoMichigan (@JoMichigan1) December 5, 2023
And these same institutions brainwash them into voting for grifters like Joe Biden.

“Hundreds of thousands of dollars flowed into UPenn from Chinese donors after Biden’s appointment.”

These questions are dumb and petty. She should have asked, “Joe Biden repeatedly claims, even as recently as a couple of weeks ago, that he used to be a professor at your university. Is that true or false?”

This is why academics are the butt of jokes. By the way, Penn receives federal funds, so that basically taxpayer dollars going into the pocket of Joe Biden.

They also built the Penn Biden Center so he'd have somewhere to stash classified documents from his time as a senator and vice president.
