Sorry, two problems with that theory, first off, I DO NOT entertain fake news, won't even read it, secondly, and I think most importantly, I do not waste my time trying to prove a negative. How about this, since YOU are the one making the claim, how about YOU prove it to be true. Wow, such a novel idea, huh? You essentially made the accusation that Joe Biden lies by promoting those fallacies, that makes it YOUR responsibility to PROVE IT when you are called on your lies. Besides, everyone knows it is far easier and more productive to work towards proving a positive than it is to try to prove a negative, have at it. Let's see your proof that Biden ACTUALLY said any of the supposed lies those nutters claim he told. A clearly labeled link to a video of him telling the lies (please find one with the least amount of bloviating commentary possible) or a link to a LEGITIMATE news source REPORTING on the lies, OP-ED will NOT be accepted. Hop to it, I await your "proof".

Edit:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/17/politics/fact-check-biden-cnn-town-hall-anderson-cooper-milwaukee/index.htmlMost look to be honest mistakes and one that CNN labeled a "mis-statement", the one concerning China's retirees to workforce ratio, that appears to be the only one I would consider calling an outright lie and CNN says they consider it a mis-statement so... No proof found there, let's continue checking the rest.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/joe-biden-town-hall-fact-checking-democratic-nominees/story?id=73062846BIDEN'S CLAIM: "When you guys started talking on television about 'Biden, if he wins will be the first person without an Ivy League degree to be elected president.' I said, 'Who the hell makes you think I need an Ivy League degree to be president?' I'm not joking."
ABC got that wrong, Biden wasn't claiming that he would be the first president WITHOUT an IVY league education, he was saying that people in the media were claiming that, there IS a difference.
BIDEN CLAIM: Biden was asked if he'd "support the continuation of fracking safely" and "growing the industry."
"Yes, I do," Biden said, later adding, "We can put to work right away 250,000 people from the iron workers and other disciplines making union wages, capping those wells that are leaking methane and are a danger to the community."
FACT CHECK: Biden's response that he supported the continuation of fracking accurately reflected his environmental plan, but Biden doesn't want to add new fracking on public lands. He wants to move away from fracking to eventually get net-zero emissions. So when he answered yes to "growing the industry," it was misleading.
As was stated by ABC, Biden is not planning to eliminate fracking so continuation is the opposite of elimination so that portion is true, as for growing the industry, I doubt he intends to grow the fracking industry per se, but more jobs in the industry will be created as he said due to hiring people to cap off wells that are leaking methane so...
No, the closest Biden comes to lying in this article is when he claims that Trump has NEVER condemned white supremacy. Trump HAS in fact done so, BEFORE he ever made an attempt to run for political office, he would condemn them verbally without any actual provocation, without being harangued about it, AFTER he "threw his hat in the ring", not so much. After he decided to try to run for political office, the time when he SHOULD be most ready and able to condemn racism, that is when he became much more reluctant to do so, though he HAS done it, just much more reluctantly and the media has HAD TO harangue him to do so.
Long story short, did Biden lie about this? I consider this one a gross mis-statement, but not a lie.
Oops, I guess we ran out of article here now too, bottom line, doesn't prove Biden to be a liar here either.
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/05/that-time-joe-biden-lied-about-his-academic-Ah, you did in fact find proof of Biden lying, about his education of all things... Congratulations, I didn't think you would actually find any evidence of Biden lying, as most, if not ALL politicians do. While one's education is quite important, lying about one's own education is something that is likely quite common place within and without the political arena. Good job, and quite eye opening. 76th of 85... That is not so good... Of course I could mention a recent president's lies about their own education, but why?
It was starting to look quite dim there until the end. You pulled it out "at the buzzer". I almost chose not to read your last link, glad I went ahead and read it anyways. You saved that one for last on purpose didn't you?
Enough of the whole "giving credit where credit is due" though, that type of lie, while not wholly inconsequential, it IS so common place that it begs the question, does it truly make one a liar? Does it truly support the case that one is a liar and can not be trusted? Damn though... I can't get the pathetic-ness of coming in at 76th of 85 out of my head... He did better than ONLY 9 others... How lazy and/or ignorant were they that he did better than they did? How lazy and/or ignorant was he? But there is one consolation... He has vowed to adhere to what his experts tell him is best for this country, that is far better than what another past president did... I will not lose sleep over this... Except for that whole 76th of 85 thing... DAMN! That is lame as hell! I had better go check that one out and see if I can find confirmation on that one... Better yet, maybe I shouldn't... If that one gets confirmed, I may lose sleep due to being so disappointed in him, not that I was EVER his biggest fan mind you, just DAMN! That "factoid" will NEVER leave my head now...
