During a recent discussion on the show “Outnumbered,” the panelists delved into President Biden’s peculiar claim about his uncle being devoured by “cannibals” during World War II.
During his visit to a war memorial near his hometown in Pennsylvania, President Biden seemed to suggest that his uncle had been consumed by cannibals after his plane was shot down during World War II.
President Biden shared a story about a brave individual who volunteered for reconnaissance flights over New Guinea during World War II. This courageous pilot flew single-engine planes and took on the risky mission when someone else couldn’t make it. Unfortunately, he was shot down in an area inhabited by cannibals. Tragically, his body was never found, leaving his fate unknown.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed on Thursday that President Biden’s maternal uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, also known as “Uncle Bosie,” perished in World War II when his plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean. However, she clarified that he was not, as Biden had jokingly suggested, consumed by cannibals. This clarification came after Biden made these remarks during his visit on Wednesday.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that the President was experiencing an “emotional moment” when he made his comments on Friday.
Biden’s fabricated cannibal story is being downplayed by the media as a mere “misstatement” or being “off on the details.”
President Joe Biden addressed the National Action Network Convention through a remote connection from the South Court Auditorium of the White House on Friday, April 12, 2024, in Washington.
“The president experienced a deeply emotional and symbolic moment when he had the chance to honor his uncle’s military service. It was a significant opportunity for him, as the president, to be present and address those individuals who courageously risk their lives for our nation,” Jean-Pierre stated.
President Biden’s uncle tragically lost his life in a military aircraft crash in the Pacific near New Guinea. In emphasizing his uncle’s story, the president emphasized the importance of fulfilling our sacred duty to provide proper support to those we send to war and their families upon their return. Jean-Pierre stated that the president strongly reiterated that American veterans should never be referred to as “suckers” or “losers.” Such derogatory language should never come from a commander in chief, as it has in the past.
President Biden claimed that former President Trump called soldiers “suckers and losers,” as Jean-Pierre referenced in his last statement.
During his presidency, Trump was accused of making these comments when he was scheduled to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France in November 2018.
According to The Atlantic, anonymous sources have made allegations against Trump, claiming that he made offensive comments about fallen and captured U.S. service-members. These alleged comments include referring to World War I dead at an American military cemetery in France as “losers” and “suckers” in 2018.
Joe Biden has been left off the Time ‘100 Most Influential’ list for the first time in his presidency.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refrained from commenting on the recent turmoil in the Middle East during Friday’s WH press briefing.
“These false allegations are another example of fabricated news being spread by individuals who are envious and unsuccessful, in a desperate attempt to sway the outcome of the 2020 Election!” Trump expressed on Twitter in response to the accusations made against him.
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo expressed his disagreement with the claims made in the article during an interview with “Fox & Friends.” Pompeo stated that he had spent a significant portion of the trip to France with the president and never heard him use the words described in the article.
Sarah Sanders, the former White House press secretary, took to Twitter to address the claims about visiting the cemetery. She vehemently denied the allegations, stating, “This never happened. I have personally been present in the room when our President called the grieving family members after their sons were killed in action, and I can attest to the heart-wrenching nature of those conversations. I am utterly disgusted by this false attack.”
During the press conference, Peter Doocy from Fox News persistently pressed Jean-Pierre with inquiries regarding President Biden’s remarks about his uncle. The president had acknowledged that Second Lieutenant Ambrose Jay Finnegan was a heroic figure in the war. However, the Pentagon made a puzzling statement, revealing that the aircraft had to make an emergency landing in the ocean for reasons that remain unknown.
Peter Doocy questioned the statements made by President Biden, asking why he claimed to have been shot down when there is no evidence to support it. He also raised concerns about Biden’s assertion that his uncle was eaten by cannibals, highlighting it as a gruesome way to perish.
Biden Faces Criticism for Gaffe Encouraging Americans to Prioritize ‘Freedom Over Democracy’: ‘This Man Must Be Removed from Office!’
President Biden has come under fire for a recent gaffe in which he urged Americans to prioritize “freedom over democracy.” This statement has sparked outrage and calls for his removal from office. Critics argue that his words undermine the values and principles that the United States stands for.
The controversy began when Biden made the remark during a speech, stating, “We must choose freedom over democracy.” This statement immediately caught the attention of the public and ignited a heated debate. Many argue that democracy and freedom are not mutually exclusive but rather intertwined, and that Biden’s comment was misguided.
Critics of the President argue that his statement reveals a lack of understanding of the fundamental principles of democracy. They claim that democracy is the very foundation of freedom, as it ensures the protection of individual rights and liberties. By suggesting that Americans should prioritize one over the other, Biden’s words have been seen as dismissive and even dangerous.
The backlash against Biden has been swift and widespread. Social media has been flooded with calls for his resignation or impeachment, with many expressing their disappointment and frustration with his gaffe. Some have accused him of being out of touch with the values and ideals of the American people.
Despite the criticism, there are others who have come to Biden’s defense, arguing that his statement was taken out of context. They claim that he was merely emphasizing the importance of safeguarding individual freedoms within a democratic framework. However, these arguments have done little to quell the anger and frustration felt by those who view his words as a betrayal of democratic principles.
As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Biden will address the backlash and whether he will offer any clarification or apology for his remarks. In the meantime, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of careful and thoughtful communication, particularly for public figures and leaders who have the power to shape public opinion.
During a recent podcast interview with Patrick Bet-David, Smith expressed his disappointment, stating that he feels “ashamed” that the Democratic party has not been able to find a stronger candidate than President Biden to challenge Trump. This sentiment was shared alongside images of Biden and Trump as a visual representation of Smith’s point.
Jean-Pierre expressed his solemnity as he addressed the loss of life. He emphasized the importance of not making light of such a serious matter.
Doocy emphasized that it was not meant as a joke, but he reiterated that those were indeed Biden’s words.
“I mean, your last statement is meant to be humorous, to elicit laughter. However, he approaches this topic with great seriousness. His uncle, who bravely served and defended our nation, tragically lost his life in the line of duty. This is something that should hold significance. We have a president who consistently supports and uplifts our U.S. troops and American veterans. Who else truly acknowledges their heroism? Because they truly are heroes,” Jean-Pierre countered passionately.
During the conversation, Doocy asked Jean-Pierre once again about her use of the term “cannibalism.”
