Joe Biden lies; we all know this. And he also doesn’t care. The most recent example was his chaotic exit from Afghanistan. He promised that we would remain until every American was out. He lied. We left hundreds stranded. He looked at his watch during the transfer of the bodies of the 13 US service members at Dover who was killed in a suicide bombing during the evacuation process. He doesn’t care. This isn’t anything new. It’s not dementia either. Since the 1980s, Joe Biden has been lying like a rug—and didn’t care. Let’s circle back to his civil rights movement lie, where his aides told him during his 1988 presidential run that his tales on the stump were false. He didn’t care.
Of course, the GOP was there with the receipts:

During the Democratic primary, even left wing outlets noted that Biden had made this up, and detailed how for decades, Biden repeatedly lied about what he did to try and burnish his political credentialshttps://t.co/TEJrSW8HGP

During his 1988 presidential run, Biden's advisors had to tell him repeatedly that his stories weren't true, and Biden would privately admit that they weren't

But then he would go right back to saying them anyway
