Joe Biden Claims His Uncle Was Eaten By Cannibals


This is a Flashback to one of my favorite Biden stories of all time.  Good old Uncle Bosey being eaten by Cannibals!

Joe Biden has told some BIG whoppers over the years….

So much so that I truly do not believe he knows anymore when he’s lying or telling the truth.

Usually it’s just run of the mill stuff, lies about where he grew up, or how he attended an all-black church, or claims of athletic feats when he was younger….stuff like that.

But he took it to a whole new level today when he claimed or very strongly implied that his Athletic, War-Hero Uncle was eaten by Cannibals in WW2.

Here’s a quick summary from Grok, then we’ll go to the video tape:

Yes, Joe Biden recently claimed that his uncle, 2nd Lt. Ambrose J. Finnegan, may have been eaten by cannibals after his plane crashed near New Guinea during World War II. This claim was made during a speech in Pennsylvania on April 18, 2024, as Biden drew a contrast between his family’s military service and Donald Trump’s reported disparaging comments about military members. Biden said that his uncle’s body was never found because “there used to be a lot of cannibals” in New Guinea at the time of the crash. However, this detail is not supported by the official military record, which states that Finnegan’s plane crashed into the ocean off the coast of New Guinea, and experts have pointed out that cannibalism did exist in New Guinea but it was uncommon and unlikely to have been a factor in the aftermath of the crash.

You gotta love how a story about his Uncle getting eaten by cannibals wasn’t good enough for him, he had to add in parts about the man being a war hero and a great athlete.

It would be hilarious — if this man wasn’t pretending to run our country.

Watch the clip for yourself:

Biden apparently likes this story so much he told it multiple times.

Here’s another one from the same day:

Even MSNBC was forced to comment on the strange story:

President Joe Biden made an odd suggestion Wednesday that his uncle who served in the Army during World War II may have been eaten by cannibals after his plane crashed off the coast of New Guinea.

In a portion of a speech at a campaign stop in Pittsburgh, Biden drew a distinction between his family’s military service and Donald Trump’s disparaging comments about military members as reported in The Atlantic in 2020. (Trump has denied making those remarks.) Biden then brought up Ambrose J. Finnegan, a second lieutenant with the U.S. Army Air Forces whose plane crashed off the coast of New Guinea in 1944.

“He got shot down in New Guinea, and they never found the body because there used to be — there were a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea,” Biden said of his uncle.

Researchers have documented cannibalism practices in parts of the Melanesia region, but Biden’s remarks raised eyebrows. As NBC News reported, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency said that Finnegan’s plane was “forced to ditch in the ocean” for unknown reasons, and that three men, including Finnegan, “failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash.”

While Biden’s claim that his uncle’s remains were not recovered is in line with the official military record — the detail about cannibalism is not.

“He has not been associated with any remains recovered from the area after the war and is still unaccounted-for,” the DPAA said of Finnegan.

Biden had also told reporters a similar story about his uncle after visiting a veterans memorial in Scranton, Pennsylvania, earlier Wednesday before departing for Pittsburgh, CNN reported.

Here are a few other great Biden moments from the gaffe machine history:

Joe Biden: “I plan on being a PGA”

Joe Biden has had some doozies when it comes gaffes and slurring his words.

My favorite was probably Merfin and Ruthers, which I’ll post down below if you don’t remember that one.

But the latest is just as bad.

When asked what he thinks about the LIV takeover of the PGA, Biden appears disoriented and then smirks and says “I plan on being a PGA”.

What does that even mean?

Watch for yourself:

What does that even mean?

He sure thinks it’s funny, but I’m not sure why because I don’t know what it means.

This guy is so strange.

But is it worse than this Merfin and Ruthers?

Ohhhh, that’s a tough one to beat:

MUMBLER IN CHIEF: Biden Stumbles Through Another Speech, Refers To “Merfin and Ruthers”

“Finkle and Einhorn, Einhorn and Finkle…..in it together….somehow!”

Ah, the great duos of all time.

Jordan/Pippen.

Kobe/Shaq.

Montana/Rice.

…..Merfin and Ruthers…..?

Yeah, I don’t know who they are either, but Joe Biden today in a long, mumbling, meandering “speech” claimed he was “as determined as Merfin and Ruthers” to get something done.

Oh my.

Watch here and see if you can figure it out:

Yeah, I don’t know.

There does not appear to be anyone even remotely close to the names of Merfin or Ruthers anywhere on Biden’s (fake) cabinet.

The best anyone has come up with is that “Merfin” was a reference to Merrick Garland, which I guess in Biden-speak is kind of close.

Someone then posted the subtitles to clear up the confusion:

Oh my goodness, I can’t stop laughing!

It only got better from there….

Reading some of the replies, these were my favorite.

Merfin and Ruthers?  One guy thinks they played for the 85 Bears:

This next one seems appropriate in light of Prince Philip’s long-awaited death:

And kudos to BevJoy for correcting the record on this one:
