JOE BIDEN FLAT-OUT LIED ABOUT HIS VOTES ON THE WARS IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ
When you're a buffoon, your brain is stupid enough to believe anything you tell it.
"Trust me," Joey Chompers implored voters. Look at our words; look at our records.
"Trust your instincts," Joey Chompers said.
Video of the lie at the Free Beacon. The below is from their story:
“By the way, they talk about this great recession like it fell out of the sky–like, ‘Oh my goodness, where did it come from?’” Biden said. “It came from this man voting to put two wars on a credit card, at the same time, put a prescription drug plan on the credit card, a trillion dollar tax cut for the very wealthy.”
“I was there, I voted against them,” Biden continued. “I said, no, we can’t afford that.”
Then Sen. Biden voted for the Afghanistan resolution on Sept. 14, 2001 which authorized “the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States.”
And on Oct. 11, 2002, Biden voted for a resolution authorizing unilateral military action in Iraq, according to the Washington Post.
The one thing they told this drunken buffoon not to do is to spin some grandly self-serving lie about an important issue which could be easily disproven.
He did exactly that.
WaPo Fact Check: Shockingly, they find than Biden lied a lot (though they don't do that "Pants of Fire" stuff) and Ryan's "mistatements," to the extent they exist, seem pretty debatable.
