Joe Biden just told the biggest lie I’ve ever heard him tell at a campaign rally today. It’s so unbelievable you might need to brace yourself:

How can he say that with a straight face?
Forget about scandals for a second. The biggest lie Obama ever told was the one about Obamacare: “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor”.
Moving on to scandals, there were MANY: Operation Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS abuses of conservatives, Veterans Affairs where 40 Veterans died waiting for care, Hillary’s State Department email scandal…and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The ones the media seemed to care about the most, if I recall correctly, was the Obamacare website rollout which was a disaster and another one about some agency (GSA?) wasting a ton of money.
And just to point out, Biden has already had a scandal of his own this year because he can’t keep his hands off of women, for which he’s already had to apologize.
Here’s a few Twitter responses to Biden’s big lie:

I’ve been thinking about this and I know what’s going on. Biden wants to test the media to see if they are really going to hold him to account for the things he says, like they do Trump. So he drops this big lie to see if the media will cover it. Yeah, that must be it.
