Joe Biden has a history of making things up and saying things that are not true.
We saw an example of that problem recently when he exaggerated the small kitchen fire at his home in 2004 that the firefighters put out in twenty minutes. He claimed that he almost lost his wife, his 67 Corvette, and his cat. Worse, he said that to survivors of the Maui fire, some of whom had lost everything including their homes and their family members. He was chastised by Hawaiian Rent-All business, with a sign saying sorry that he almost lost his Corvette with an accompanying Facebook post that it wasn't "always about you."
Biden's history of making things up goes back decades, indeed for most of his political life. He infamously had to drop out of the 1988 Presidential race because he said false things about his background and plagiarized other politicians. His plagiarism in law school was also exposed at that time.
Now there's a new accusation of plagiarism -- that Biden plagiarized part of an article that he sent to the Harvard Journal on Legislation for publication when he was a senator. The student who was supposed to check the citation on the article and who caught the plagiarism was Roger Severino, who is now the Vice President of the Heritage Foundation. Severino detailed to Fox's Jesse Watters what happened after he discovered multiple instances of plagiarism. ,
Severino said that after he pointed it out, expecting that the piece would be rejected for plagiarism, instead the editor just added citations and pretended as if it had never happened.
Severino pointed out how this involved "mosaic plagiarism" -- changing a couple of words to make it harder to pick up but that this showed consciousness of guilt.
Plus this was after that huge scandal when he had to drop out of the 1988 race, so Biden already was called out for this, it cost him a lot, and still, there he was allegedly engaging in more plagiarism.
As Watters said, "He's learned nothing" and he still did it again. That's perhaps one of the most troubling things about Biden. Not just that he does such things, but that even after he's exposed for saying things that aren't true, he does it again. Even after the horrible falsehood to the people in Maui and all the backlash, Biden then told that story about the fire yet again, claiming that half his house "almost collapsed."
Watters talks about Biden's insecurity and I think that's right. But it also seems like psychopathy at this point. That's a dangerous thing when his need to say things that aren't true trumps reality.
