What will Biden not say?
Many were taken aback by President Joe Biden’s recent claims, as he stated, “I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home, politically.”
Biden’s words and claims came out, despite the fact that only about 2,000 people of Puerto Rican ancestry lived in Delaware when he was launching his career five decades ago.
We all are very aware of Biden’s habit of inflating his personal connection to audiences. So it probably comes a son surprise to many when he made his pledge to many during a trip to Ponce while addressing Hurricane Fiona’s recovery plans.
“We have a very, in relative terms, a large Puerto Rican population in Delaware relative to our population,” Biden said in an unscripted aside. “We have the eighth largest black population of the country and between all minorities we have 20% of our state that is minority. And so I…I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home, politically.”
Biden, 79, was first elected to the US Senate in 1972, two years after winning election to the New Castle, Del., County Council.
According to the 1970 US Census, Delaware had about 2,154 people who were either born in Puerto Rico or descended from Puerto Rican parents, roughly 0.39% of the First State’s population of nearly 550,000 at the time.
The number of Puerto Ricans in Delaware reached 4,857, .81% of the state’s population, by the time Biden was serving his second term in the US Senate in 1980, according to that year’s census.
Biden did not describe any links to Puerto Ricans in Delaware in his 2007 memoir “Promises to Keep”.
Biden has faltered before when attempting to demonstrate a close connection to minority groups and other constituencies.
Last September, Biden told Jewish leaders that he remembered spending time at and going to Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue in 2018 after the worst anti-Semitic attack in US history, in which 11 people were murdered.
The synagogue said he never visited and the White House later said he was thinking about a 2019 phone call to the synagogue’s rabbi.
In January, Biden told students at historically black colleges in Atlanta that he was arrested multiple times while protesting in favor of civil rights, another claim for which there is no evidence.
Biden said at the Naval Academy’s graduation ceremony in May that he was appointed to the military school in 1965 by the late Sen. J. Caleb Boggs (R-Del.). A search of Boggs’ archives failed to turn up evidence of the appointment.
And Biden has told at least eight times as president a chronologically impossible tale involving a former Amtrak conductor to underscore his love of passenger rail, most recently last month while hosting union negotiators in the Oval Office to celebrate the aversion of a major rail strike.
With all these lies and constant speech blunders, it makes one wonder, how in the world does Biden still have supporters.

He’s an idiot, a fool that happens to be going senile. The funny thing is that all Democrats lie, and lie, it’s what they do now, so understand that these people have no conscience or dignity, they’re the scum of the earth. It’s like the planet was invaded by these evil forms of life, they take the shape of humans, but they’re not human, they’re monsters. That’s why they acuse their opponents of doing exactly what they’re doing, they must come from the planet Gas Light.
