In a virtual campaign event, Biden claimed he became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania after he left the US Senate.
"When I left the United States Senate, I became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. And I’ve spent a lot of time — and the University of Delaware has the Biden School as well, so I’ve spent a lot of time on campus with college students.”
However, Biden became Vice President under Barack Obama in 2009, and upon his leaving the White House in 2017, the University of Pennsylvania gave him the “Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor.” The title was effectively only an honorary one.
According to the Daily Caller, which cites Biden’s own spokesperson, Biden never actually taught or was planning to teach a class. As the Daily Caller notes: “One student at the time wrote that UPenn was paying Biden ‘to essentially do nothing but sporadically show his face on campus.’ The student was not far from the truth. Biden appeared on the UPenn campus four times to make speeches in 2017 and made another four speeches in 2018.
Biden has been claiming that he was arrested in the 1970s by South African authorities while he sought to visit Nelson Mandela in prison, The New York Times
reported Friday.
“This day, 30 years ago, Nelson Mandela walked out of prison and entered into discussions about apartheid,” Biden told supporters in South Carolina last week, according to the Times. “I had the great honor of meeting him. I had the great honor of being arrested with our U.N. ambassador on the streets of Soweto trying to get to see him on Robbens Island.”
