Biden Descends Into Delusion Again With Another Debunked Story, Then Just Wanders Off

Joe Biden's campaign is not going well.

His staff has done all they can to try to minimize his issues, including trying to limit media access to reduce any coverage of gaffes. But there's only so much you can do with a very flawed vessel like Biden.

He went to Philadelphia on Monday to announce the city receiving a grant for firefighters (translation: vote for me, important Pennsylvania voters) and to go to a campaign reception.

Biden did that little half-trot thing he's doing to show how "vigorous" he is — for about a step and a half.

Then, when he reached his spot, he saluted and said something incoherent. He's been doing that a lot lately, too, saluting random people that you normally wouldn't salute.

One of the things that seems astonishing is how he keeps repeating the same false stories that have been debunked multiple times, such as the story about Amtrak conductor Angelo Negri. He sounds — from what he has said recently — like he's been told not to talk about him. But the only thing he seemed to have taken away was not to use Negri's name. He still keeps repeating the same false story.

It's Crazy that Biden's People Can't Stop This: Joe Tells Bizarre Debunked Story Twice in Less Than Hour

In Philadelphia, he did it again with another debunked story — the one about the fire in his home. He's told various versions of this story, but they all have a general theme, exaggerating and contradicting the reported facts. You know if he's appearing in front of firefighters or first responders, this is the story that he's going to pull out to pander to them.

Biden, speaking to firefighters in Philadelphia, once again tells the fake story about almost losing his house in a fire.

It's all a lie. According to a 2004 AP report, it was "a small fire...contained to the kitchen" and "was under control in 20 minutes." pic.twitter.com/eWP1Ji7hit

He said he was away doing an interview with the "most famous guy doing Meet the Press." He apparently forgot the name of the person with whom he did the interview.

But he really exaggerated the seriousness of the fire here, talking about saving his wife, cat, and his 67 Corvette, "smoke this thick," and "three stories." The truth is that it was a small kitchen fire; it never got beyond the kitchen and was put out in 20 minutes, according to the fire department that responded. No one was in any danger, including the Corvette.

The fire department statement, while trying to be kind, revealed the truth: They explained that it was a relatively “insignificant” fire while also noting that to any homeowner, any fire is significant.

Fire Department Drops Joe Biden With Some Facts About the Fire at His Home

Previously, he's said it burnt down "with his wife in it," that a "significant portion" of his home burned, that he "lost an awful lot" of the home, even that "we almost lost a couple of firefighters.” None of which was true. He even repeated it to the people who lost their homes and family members in Maui in a truly disgraceful telling of the tale, saying he almost lost the Corvette.

If they aren't able to stop him from telling such stories, even after they've been debunked, at this point, it's a compulsion he isn't able to control, and that reveals more issues. He can't stop himself from doing it, even to his own detriment. That's the state of the mind of the guy we have in the office now, and that's a terribly dangerous thing; he isn't operating in truth and reality.

When they were taking a photo at the end, Biden stood for a moment, then moved out of the picture and wandered off.
