In his latest attempt to mislead voters, Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden made the false claim that Border Patrolmen endorsed him for president in this year’s election. However, a National Border Patrol Council official quickly refuted Biden’s statement, saying the union had not endorsed him and would “never” do so.
In fact, the NBPC has previously stated that it will never endorse any Democrat for president. The union represents Border Patrol agents and is known for its support of President Trump, who has received their backing throughout his presidency.
At Thursday’s Democratic debate in Miami, Biden made the false claim that Border Patrolmen had endorsed him for president. By the way, the Border Patrolmen endorsed me, endorsed my position,” he said.
This is not true. The NBPC has repeatedly stated its opposition to Democrats, including Biden, and has never endorsed any Democrat for president. In fact, a tweet from the NBPC’s official Twitter account immediately after Biden made his false claim reads: “To be clear, we never have and never will endorse Biden.
This is just another example of Biden’s willingness to say anything to win over voters. In recent weeks, he has also falsely claimed that he was the first vice president to visit a U.S. combat zone in Afghanistan and misrepresented his record on school integration.
