First is the chutzpah of the untruth, which he expects will be protected from fact-checking by <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> favoritism and the innate politeness of Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Second is that Biden told the lie to rev up the anti-white-supremacist campaign which has animated his presidency since day one. It is a peculiar crusade, based around demonizing all Trump supporters as somehow complicit in the Jan.\u20096 Capitol riot, which had nothing to do with white supremacy, anyway, and everything to do with an election some believed had been stolen.<\/p>\n<p>It is peculiar also because, more than any politician in office today, Biden was aligned with old segregationist Democrat senators, such as former KKK recruiter Robert Byrd.<\/p>\n<p>So Biden posing as a civil-rights activist is as authentic as his brilliant-white teeth and hair plugs, or his \u201cdevout\u201d Catholicism while promoting abortion, or his claim to be the poorest man in Congress while he and his family live like kings.<\/p>\n<p>Over his decades in politics, he has constructed a mythical persona full of tall tales of derring-do, exaggerations and outright lies about his accomplishments. He lied about nonexistent academic awards and scholarships and plagiarized speeches willy-nilly.<\/p>\n<p>He pretended that he trained as a racial activist in black churches, claimed he was at the center of the civil-rights movement in Selma and Birmingham, and that he had been arrested in Soweto on his way to see Nelson Mandela in prison. None of it was true.<\/p>\n<p>Each lie served to boost his ego, to place him as the shining superhero of every grandiose story.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/Shooting-Synagogue.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"A man holds his head as he is escorted out of the Tree of Life Congregation by police following a shooting at the Pittsburg synagogue, Saturday, Oct. 27, 2018.\" class=\"wp-image-19359356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/Shooting-Synagogue.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/Shooting-Synagogue.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/Shooting-Synagogue.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>A man holds his head as he is escorted out of the Tree of Life Congregation by police following a shooting at the Pittsburgh synagogue, Saturday, Oct. 27, 2018.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Alexandra Wimley\/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette via AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If ever he felt his idealized self-image were challenged, he would fly into what can best be described as controlled narcissistic rage. We saw glimpses during the 2020 campaign when he called one man \u201cfat\u201d and challenged him to pushups.<\/p>\n<p>Witnesses still talk about Biden\u2019s unhinged reaction to perceived disrespect from billionaire financier Bill Ackman at a private VIP dinner in Las Vegas in 2017. He waved his fist inches from Ackman\u2019s face, one witness recalls, and called him an \u201ca\u2013hole\u201d after the billionaire cracked a joke about Biden\u2019s loquaciousness, according to media reports at the time, though his campaign denied the story.<\/p>\n<p>But this inner weirdness is the pattern of his life. It was captured in a video of Biden at a campaign stop in New Hampshire in 1987, when he angrily berated a man who asked how well he did at law school. \u201cI think I probably have a much higher IQ than you do,\u201d said Biden, jabbing the air with his finger, then lying shamelessly about his academic record.<\/p>\n<p>Even when caught out, he repeated the false tales. He seemed to have no shame, as if he had come to believe his own fantasies and had some psychogenic compulsion to share them.<\/p>\n<p>The only time his confabulations <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>ped him up was when he plagiarized a speech from British Labour Party Leader Neil Kinnock and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ropriated his life story.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/tree-of-life.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"The Tree of Life Synagogue on the 1st Anniversary of the attack on October 27, 2019 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.\" class=\"wp-image-19359358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/tree-of-life.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/tree-of-life.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/tree-of-life.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The Tree of Life Synagogue where 11 people were murdered.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Jeff Swensen\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The scandal forced him out of his 1988 presidential run, but it didn\u2019t stop the lies.
