Seventeen times Biden lied, plagiarized, and exaggerated

High-profile plagiarism is back in the news as embattled Harvard University President Claudine Gay grapples with two cases that were shrugged off by the school’s presidential search committee.
Normally a firing offense in academic and political circles, there are times when culprits get away with a slap on the wrist. And that certainly is the case with Gay. Caught in the act, her Harvard bosses gave Gay a pass after she decided to make a few corrections in her published works and give proper credit.
Maybe the best example of getting away with plagiarism is sitting in the Oval Office. While his earlier cases did trip him up, notably in 1987 when he was forced out of the presidential race for robbing words from a British politician, President Joe Biden has been involved in a dizzying and documented nine cases.
And that is on top of the eight oft-repeated biographical lies he tells in speeches, such as last weekend’s latest version of a made-up story about an Amtrak conductor congratulating Biden for flying over 1 million miles as vice president — after the conductor had died.
Below is a list of Biden’s biggest 17 lies, plagiarism, and exaggerations with hat tips to those who have documented each from the Washington Examiner, Des Moines Register, New York Times, Washington Post, Slate, New York Post, the Trump campaign, and others cited.
