WATCH: Biden Caught In Another Laughable Lie During Speech To Native Americans
At the White House Tribal Nations Summit, Joe Biden lied to the crowd with a personal anecdote from his old high school days, involving a tough choice between playing lacrosse and football.
Biden, in his characteristic storytelling manner, claimed that during his time at Archmere Academy, he was a formidable “6 foot, 158-pound flanker back” in football and was a runner-up in the state scoring championship.
“I wanted to play lacrosse, but you had to choose between lacrosse and football,” Biden claimed. “You couldn’t play both in the same season… I was the runner up of state scoring championships. Don’t laugh man.”
Biden joked, “As they say in football, I got soft hands.”
However, the tale was quickly called out on social media where users pointed out a discrepancy. Archmere Academy, where Biden attended high school, didn’t have a boy’s lacrosse team until 1993, a full 32 years after Biden graduated.
Just another bizarre lie with zero basis in fact.

This is not the first time President Biden’s recollections of the past have been questioned. His political career has seen several instances where his stories from the past were either fact-checked or clarified later.
REACTIONS:
Biden had to quit football his freshman year at Delaware because his grades were so bad. Joes a quitter. A dunce. And a liar.

Lacrosse in at least the 60 and 70s
Was a spring sport …practice started in February.
They also had summer leagues in Maryland
Does not compete with football directly …this means he does not even know what season is what.— Stonewall1862 (@rcarreira2) December 7, 2023
