What are the odds that a serial plagiarist like Joe Biden would also be a serial liar? Pretty good, actually, as all but the president’s most ardent supporters are realizing. Biden has been rightfully called out for his fibs about the “success” of the Afghanistan pullout amidst the thousands of American citizens, legal residents, and SIV holders left behind, but now the president is getting called out for lying to Jewish leaders on Thursday by claiming he visited the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania after a mass murderer targeted the house of worship in 2018, killing 11 people and wounding 6 others.
