It’s funny how sometimes people feel the need to say something when in reality you shouldn’t say anything at all.
The same goes when you are a media outlet covering an embarrassing situation. It’s probably better if it was just ignored but the libs over at the Associated Press decided that they were going to try and explain a major Biden gaffe.
While Biden was in Pennsylvania, he was really on a kick about the unconfirmed media report that former President Trump called dead US soldiers suckers and losers.
Three times we spoke about it and added a twist. According to the President his “Uncle Bosey” may have been eaten by cannibals when he was shot down in New Guinea.
Now the military has commented saying that “Uncle Bosey” was eaten by cannibals but was shot down over the ocean and his body could not be recovered.
“Ambrose Finnegan — we called him “Uncle Bosie” — he — he was shot down. He was Army Air Corps before there was an Air Force. He flew single-engine planes, reconnaissance flights over New Guinea. He had volunteered because someone couldn’t make it. He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals in New Guinea at the time,” Biden said. “They never recovered his body. But the government went back, when I went down there, and they checked and found some parts of the plane and the like. And what I was thinking about when I was standing there was when Trump refused to go up to the memorial for veterans in Paris, and he said they were a bunch of ‘suckers’ and ‘losers.'”
You have to listen to how he said it as well…

The statement has gone viral and it’s a big news story.
But here’s how the Associated Press covered it.

If Trump is “unfit” to lead then what does that make Biden?
It would have been better if they had said nothing, but they just couldn’t help themselves because this was a devastating blunder.
Below is more details on what Biden was attempting to talk about.
Unsurprisingly, Biden has made up most of this war story.
Lt. Ambrose Finnegan was a ground crew member and ordinance officer, not a reconnaissance pilot.
In 1944, Finnegan was the passenger of an A-20 (a twin-engine, not single-engine plane) that ditched, it wasn’t shot down.… https://t.co/xxIb5dreOB pic.twitter.com/xrn1WuAbTh
