Biden alleges that his uncle was consumed by cannibals

President Joe Biden’s recent claim that his uncle was eaten by cannibals has been debunked by the White House, adding to a series of gaffes that have raised concerns about the president’s cognitive state.

Sky News host Rita Panahi criticized Biden’s latest blunders, including confusing the Israeli city of Haifa with Rafah in Gaza. However, it was his claim about his uncle’s demise that raised the most eyebrows.

According to Pentagon records, Biden’s uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, was on a military aircraft that crashed into the Pacific off the coast of New Guinea in 1944. Despite this, Biden told reporters that his uncle was eaten by cannibals after the crash.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre attempted to clarify the president’s statement, attributing it to Biden’s pride in his uncle’s military service. She emphasized that Biden was emotionally affected by his uncle’s sacrifice and the importance of honoring his memory.

Despite the official military account of Finnegan’s death, Biden continued to recount the cannibalism story during campaign stops in Pittsburgh and Scranton, Pennsylvania. This pattern of embellishing personal anecdotes has been a recurring theme in Biden’s public appearances.

As the president continues his campaign efforts, his credibility and mental acuity have come under scrutiny. The White House’s admission of the false cannibalism claim adds another layer of complexity to Biden’s narrative, raising questions about his ability to connect with voters and maintain accuracy in his statements.
