Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden alleged on the campaign trail
last year that he had jumpstarted his academic career at Delaware State
University.

However, according to a new report in The Washington Times, the
historically Black college refutes Biden's claims.

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE COACH PREVIEWS TRUMP-BIDEN MATCHUP

The director of news service for Delaware State, Carlos Holmes, said that
the former vice president was never a student, though he has made
appearances on campus twice before for commencement speeches at the
university in Dover.

“Vice President Biden did not attend DSU,” Holmes said earlier last week.
“However he was the Commencement keynote speaker in 2003 and [2016], and
during the former he was awarded an honorary doctoral degree.”

Biden had made the claim during an October 2019 town hall event held at
the historic Wilson High School in Florence, which was founded in 1866 by
the Freedmen’s Bureau for Black children seeking an education.

“I got started out of an HBCU, Delaware State — now, I don’t want to hear
anything negative about Delaware State,” Biden told the crowd, as shown on
video. "They’re my folks.”

Biden went on to win the South Carolina primary -- a turning point for the
candidate -- before eventually clinching the nomination.


Earlier this month, the Biden-Harris campaign named Delaware State
University President Tony Allen -- formerly a speechwriter in Biden's
Senate office -- to its transition team advisory council.

Biden's 2007 memoir titled "Promises to Keep" details his years at private
Catholic school Archmere Academy to his time as a freshman at the
University of Delaware. There is no mention of Delaware State University.

This is not the first time Biden has faced controversy for embellishing
his own biographical history. He has previously said that he was the first
in his family to attend college and that his relatives were coal miners --
two statements he later recanted.

Others have also accused Biden of exaggerating his record on civil-rights
activism.

The Biden-Harris campaign and Delaware State University did not
immediately return Fox News' request for further comment.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.
