Fact Check: Biden Claims He Was ‘Appointed’ to Naval Academy, Roger Staubach Prevented Him from Attending

CLAIM: President Joe Biden claimed during a commencement speech at the United States Military Academy West Point that he turned down an offer to play football at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

VERDICT: False.

Biden has previously told different versions of this claim to graduates at the U.S. Naval Academy and the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado.

In his claim, Biden says he applied to the Naval Academy in order to play football. He was appointed to the Naval Academy by former Delaware Sen. J. Caleb Boggs (R) in 1965. However, the president graduated from the University of Delaware in 1965, which makes it unlikely he would have applied to attend the Naval Academy then.

Biden continues to claim that he turned down the offer after finding out that NFL Heisman Trophy winners Joe Bellino and Staubach were playing on the U.S. Naval Academy football team then.

Another issue with this claim is that Staubach graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1964, while Bellino graduated in 1961, Fox News reported.

“I was one of ten. I wanted to play football,” Biden told the graduates. “And, the day that I was supposed to go down for the interview, a classmate of mine who was also one of the ten appointed to be chosen from, named Steve Dunning, came to pick me up.”



Biden continued: “I found out two days earlier, they had a quarterback named Roger Staubach and a halfback named Joe Bellino. I said, ‘Oh, I’m not going there,’ I went to Delaware. Not a joke.”

During high school, Biden played football for Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware, and graduated from the Catholic college preparatory school in 1961.

Yahoo Sports reported:

Biden would go on to become one of the state’s best players his senior year. Over the course of eight games, he’d score 10 touchdowns, and his 60 points on the season ranked third overall in the state of Delaware.

Along with claiming he was appointed to the Naval Academy, Biden has claimed that he used to drive an 18-wheeler, that he was arrested during the civil rights movement, and that he was the first member of his family to attend college.

What mental midget would keep repeating a story after it has been confirmed to be a fucking lie?  Pedopeter is quite the narcissist as he turns everything into a brag story about himself.

Confabulation is the spontaneous production of false memories. Confabulation typically occurs due to brain damage or health conditions that affect the brain, such as dementia.

People who experience confabulation may create memories of events that have never happened. Confabulation can be a symptomatic manifestation of dementia.

The false memories that people may create can vary from mundane activities, such as remembering having a steak for lunch when in reality it was soup, to more elaborate or eccentric memories, such as that of being a pirate or a king.

He just makes up a bullshit story for whatever crowd he happens to be addressing.

If he was talking to the International Association Of Ass Cancer Survivors, he'd tell them about how he miraculously survived ass cancer.  Habitual fucking liar.

He's always been a lying sack of crap but his "dementia" has added a new twist to visions of his own greatness. And yet....I know people who think he's a "great" president, idiots.

It's more of a former condition of pathology, modified by his current medical condition.

He's been a pathological, bullying lying asshole his whole political career.
Just, with the Alzheimer's, it has no boundaries or constraints. He doesn't have the ability to make it sound plausible now, so he just rambles on.

In other words, he didn't just start doing this. He's always done this. Just not as audaciously (and he is subjected to more scrutiny by his position of authority as well).

I hope he actually writes a memoir.

I want to know how he stopped WW1 by killing Hitler.

Was a member of the Manhattan Project and Oppenheimer was a bad dude.

How he desegregated the schools.

How he beat Ali and Frazier at the same time in LA during the King Riots.

That we was on the grassy knoll when Regan was shot.

Oh boy it’d be a fun read.

There are two aspects of his constant lies that should scare people.  

One is that the majority of media never corrects it so the majority of his voters think its all true.

Two he probably believes whatever spews from his mouth and he is currently in the WH with his finger on the button.
