Before going to Florida to do a photo op with all the hurricane damage, Joey the Biden went down to Puerto Rico after they were also hit hard by a separate hurricane. Joey told another whopper of a lie too, claiming that as a child in Delaware, he was raised in a “Puerto Rican community” or something.
President Biden visited Puerto Rico on Monday in an effort to express support for the island following the impacts of Hurricane Fiona, saying he was raised in the Puerto Rican community on the U.S mainland in a political context.
Biden surveyed the damage left by the storm, met with officials and spoke in Ponce where he pledged future support to the U.S. territory of 3.2 million people of $60 million in funding federal.
“We have a very… large Puerto Rican population in Delaware,” he said. “I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home, politically. We came here for a long time as part of both business and pleasure. I’m committed to this island.”
