Joe Biden on Friday addressed the US Naval Academy’s Class of 2022 graduation and commissioning ceremony in Annapolis, Maryland.
Biden’s speech was full of lies and gaffes – as usual.
Joe Biden falsely claimed he applied to the Naval Academy in 1965 – the same year he graduated from the University of Delaware near the bottom of his class.
“I was told the Class of ’72 is here. I was appointed to the academy in 1965 by a senator who I was running against in 1972 — never planned it that way. I wasn’t old enough to be sworn in. I was only 29 years old when I was running,” Biden told the graduating class of midshipmen.
Biden continued his rambling, “He was a fine man. His name is J. Caleb Boggs. I didn’t come to the academy because I wanted to be a football star. And you had a guy named [Roger] Staubach and [Joe] Bellino here. So I went to Bellino and Staubach are the only two Navy football players to win the Heisman Trophy as the best college football players in America. Bellino won the award in 1960, while Staubach did so in 1963.”
“But all kidding aside,” Biden continued, “the best line of the debate was after it’s all over, the announcer, the questioner — who was a good guy, but supported my opponent, who was a good man as well, I might add — and he said, ‘Sen. Boggs, is there anything else you want to say?’ And he said, ‘Yes, just one thing.’ And he took the microphone. He said, ‘You know, Joe, if you accepted my commission to the — my appointment to the academy,’ he said, ‘you’d still have one year and three months’ active duty and I’d have no problems right now.’”
Joe Biden is a legend in his own mind.
This never happened.
