(Townhall) As part of his campaign of fear — due to his inability to campaign on his crisis-filled record and failing policies — President Joe Biden traveled to Charleston on Monday to deliver a speech at the Mother Emanuel AME Church where nine congregants were murdered by a white supremacist in 2015.
As usual, Biden’s speech was off the rails in short order.
For example, Biden claimed that he “spent more time” in an AME church in Wilmington, Delaware “than most people I know, black or white.” That tall tale, Biden said, was “because that’s where I started a civil rights movement.” Oh boy.

Biden’s claims of being a foot soldier for racial progress have been debunked for literally decades, but that hasn’t stopped him from trotting out such statements whenever he speaks to predominantly black audiences. It’s equally improbable that Biden has spent more time than “most people” he knows in the Bethel AME Church — especially since he’s also claimed to have spent most of his time growing up in the “Puerto Rican community” while he “went to shul more than” others.
Biden also sought to rewrite more recent history when he labeled the violent riots, looting, and destruction during the summer of 2020 — which came with a price tag of $1-$2 billion in damages — a “historic movement for justice.”

In addition to his normal lies about history, Biden had a fair bit of trouble trying to land this line about “the big lie” which is ironic, given Biden’s lie-filled speech:
