We missed this over the Labor Day holiday, but it’s worth taking a look at because this has been debunked as many times as his other stories. We had a great thread a year ago showing Biden saying in 1987 that he marched in the civil rights movement.
In 1987, during the fallout from his plagiarism scandal, Biden even admitted this wasn't true
Biden said he wasn't "an activist," wasn't "out marching," and wasn't "down in Selma"
His extent of being "involved" was being the "only white lifeguard" at an all black pool pic.twitter.com/HlAPYibO9z

He sure has a lot of stories from working at that pool.
In December, he told HBCU graduates that he “desegregated restaurants and movie theaters” during the civil rights movement. (This was the same speech in which he revealed that black entrepreneurs don’t have lawyers or accountants.)
This January, Biden recalled that it felt like only yesterday that he was arrested in a civil rights demonstration, which even Politifact gave a “Pants on Fire.” (And don’t forget that he was “arrested” while trying to visit Nelson Mandela.)
He was busted this January, and now he’s getting busted again in September.
JOE BIDEN: "I got very engaged in my case in the civil rights movement. As a kid, I worked a lot in the movement."

What about Corn Pop and the diving board incident, though? Hmm?

Still the liar he always has been I see.

He would rather lie when telling the truth would be easier. Not to mention truthful.

Also, he was a segregationist. So…

Fweedom.

Of course, the replies are full of “But Trump!” without anyone providing any proof that Biden is lying through his teeth here. His supporters don’t care if he lies to them.
