I Guess We’re Going to Ignore This Huge Joe Biden Lie, Huh?
In 1987, during the fallout from his plagiarism scandal, Biden even admitted this wasn't true
Biden said he wasn't "an activist," wasn't "out marching," and wasn't "down in Selma"
His extent of being "involved" was being the "only white lifeguard" at an all black pool pic.twitter.com/HlAPYibO9z

If you've never seen it, here's Biden falsely claiming in 1987 (among many other times) that he marched in the civil rights movement pic.twitter.com/4R5mOE0meM

During his 1988 presidential run, Biden's advisors had to tell him repeatedly that his stories weren't true, and Biden would privately admit that they weren't
But then he would go right back to saying them anyway
