Gun Owners Aren’t Surprised by Joe Biden’s Latest Stolen Valor Fabulism Claims. Biden’s latest faux pas involves him talking about something that never happened, except in his mind, or what’s left of it.
“So, I 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 my father said; ‘Present it to him, okay?’ We had the family there,” Biden said at the veterans’ townhall, according to media accounts.
There are, of course, massive factual errors in Biden’s latest tall tale. Biden’s uncle died in 1999. His father died in 2002, but Biden wasn’t elected vice president until 2008, so there is no way he could have presented his uncle the medal while serving as vice president.
