I’ve never had much use for Joe Biden. I simply can’t get past Biden’s plagiarism and Biden’s portrayal of his academic record which you can see in the following video: Four of the boasts Biden made about his academic record are false: Full Academic Scholarship – Biden actually received a partial scholarship from the university based on financial need. Top Half of His Class – | Read More »
