Biden’s Stolen Valor

In Joe Biden’s nearly five decades of Congressional service, one thing is certain: He is not a friend to the black community. Despite his flip-flopping rhetoric on the campaign trail, he is not who he claims to be when it comes to African American issues.

A little due diligence reveals that Biden was a major and forceful proponent of the 1994 criminal justice legislation–during the Bill Clinton Administration–that laid the groundwork for mass incarceration and devastated the black community. And then there was Biden’s bankruptcy bill, which made it almost impossible to declare bankruptcy and wipe out student loan debt, again crippling the black and Hispanic communities.

If that wasn’t enough, history will also unravel Biden’s incessant lying over his civil rights record, in which he claimed to have marched in the movement. “I marched with tens of thousands of others to change attitudes,” he said in 1987. A bald-faced lie! A few months later, he disavowed the claim, right before dropping out of the presidential race. And to no one’s surprise, Sleepy Joe is reviving his civil rights lies in the 2020 campaign.

In the following video, The Last Outlaws host Zack Leary further breaks down Biden’s long and complicated record on civil rights in what he calls a case of stolen valor.
