During his tenure in the government of the United States, Joe Biden has made false or misleading claims. The frequency of these falsehoods became a subject of media discussion following his various runs for the presidency. Biden often repeats these statements even after media outlets discredits or fact-checks them.
Background
[edit]These statements have been characterized by the media and Biden himself as "gaffes".[1][2][3][4] Biden has referred to himself a "gaffe machine".[5]
The most common explanations for these discrepancies are:
- Joe Biden overcame a stutter that he had in his youth.[6] Biden has denied this is the cause of these discrepancies, saying "the mistakes I make are mistakes".[7]
- His age and cognitive abilities have been questioned by media,[8] as well as by fellow Democrats.[9] White House doctors have examined him and found him to be physically and mentally fit.[10]
- Biden's misstatements are amplified by hostile opposition media. These misstatements are said to not be comparable to those of his predecessor, Donald Trump.[11]
- Biden sometimes makes false claims in order to establish a connection with the ethnicity of an audience.[12]
Examples
