Jill Biden’s ex: Joe stole my prep school football story as his own — minutes after I told it

Jill Biden’s ex-husband said he knew that Joe Biden had trouble with the truth the first time they met — and the budding politician swiped a story from Bill Stevenson’s life and passed it off as one of his own.
The 75-year-old told The Post that Biden was running for the US Senate in 1972 when he stopped by the Stone Balloon, Stevenson’s new night spot in Newark, Delaware. Stevenson told Biden an anecdote about how his mother had asked his prep-school football coach why the schedule for the season’s games was prominently posted in the women’s bathroom. The coach gave a funny answer that Stevenson repeated to Biden.
“No disrespect … [but] that’s where our schedule belongs: in the ladies’ room,” said the coach — the implication being that the losing team was playing like “a bunch of girls,” said Stevenson.
Two hours later, after Biden was introduced to the club’s bouncers — all of them University of Delaware football players — he repeated the same story as if it were his own — right in front of an astonished Stevenson.
“I just stared at him in shock,” Stevenson told The Post. “He just acted like it was his own story. I just told myself, ‘This must be what politicians are like.'”
The Post has reached out to the White House for comment.
