'Biden Tells Whopper of a Lie About His Grandfather to Special Olympics Athletes During Christmas Dinner at White House'

<https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/biden-tells-whopper-lie-about-his-grandfather-special/>

'Joe Biden delivered remarks on a Christmas for All Dinner in
celebration of the Special Olympics in the East Room at the White House
on Tuesday evening.

Biden told the special Olympic athletes a whopper of a lie about his grandfather.

“My grandfather Ambrose Finnegan was an All-American football player at
Santa Clara…” Biden said.

Of course, this is completely made up.'

'This is one of Biden’s favorite lies.

He has repeated this lie many times over the years.

During a speech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 2022, Joe Biden told the
crowd his grandfather Ambrose Finnegan was an All-American football
player.'

'“And let me tell you: I’m a proud Delawarean, but Pennsylvania is my native state,” Biden said.

“It’s in my heart. I can’t tell you how much it means to me to be part
of rebuilding this beautiful state,” he said. “My grandfather Finnegan
from Scranton would really be proud of me right now. No, I’m not joking,
he would.”

“By the way, he was an All-American football player, John, in Santa
Clara,” he added.'

'Newsweek debunked this lie:

“All-American” refers to an honorary title given to outstanding athletes competing at the collegiate level.

What we do know is that Ambrose Finnegan, Biden’s grandfather, did
attend Santa Clara College, as acknowledged by the college itself and
through grade records shared by the school.

Records place Ambrose’s date of birth between 1884-1885, meaning he’d
have attended college around 1902, which appears to be supported by
accounts from Santa Clara too.'

'In a piece for Santa Clara Magazine, the college’s archivist Sheila
Conway added that “Ambrose Finnegan won a Distinguished Premium for the
3rd Class Bookkeeping, and a Premium for 3rd Class for the Best Kept Set
of Books.”

An obituary also mentions that Ambrose was a “star athlete” and that he “gained nationwide recognition for his feats while quarterback of the
Santa Clara football team.”

The record-keeping isn’t as consistent or authoritative for the
All-American players list though. One list compiled by the National
Collegiate Athletic Bureau does not feature Ambrose’s name. Indeed; the earliest All-American player at Santa Clara wasn’t recorded until 1938.'

I dunno.
Personally I feel Biden's lies about his uncle Boise being eaten by cannibals tops
this one.
In fact I don't see how anyone could top that tall tale.
I do agree though that Joe Biden is shot. It was time to put him out to pasture 4 years ago and he's only gotten worse. Much worse.
