Biden said he was a student at Delaware State University; school says otherwise

[Fox News] Biden had made the claim during an October 2019 town hall event ahead of the South Carolina primary

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden alleged on the campaign trail last year that he had jumpstarted his academic career at Delaware State University.

However, according to a new report in The Washington Times, the historically Black college refutes Biden's claims.
Pander in Chief
*Snicker* But to be fair, the real memories of those years are probably gone, so the poor man is doing the best he can to fill that particular bit of empty brain space.
The director of news service for Delaware State, Carlos Holmes, said that the former vice president was never a student, though he has made appearances on campus twice before for commencement speeches at the university in Dover.

"Vice President Biden did not attend DSU," Holmes said earlier last week. "However he was the Commencement keynote speaker in 2003 and [2016], and during the former he was awarded an honorary doctoral degree."

Biden had made the claim during an October 2019 town hall event held at the historic Wilson High School in Florence, which was founded in 1866 by the Freedmen's Bureau for Black children seeking an education.

"I got started out of an HBCU, Delaware State ‐ now, I don't want to hear anything negative about Delaware State," Biden told the crowd, as shown on video. "They're my folks."

Biden went on to win the South Carolina primary -- a turning point for the candidate -- before eventually clinching the nomination.

Joe tweeted at twilight, "Hey, day-O!
Me carry potatoes
Like back in Barbados,"
Or brayed, from the stump, "Tingalayo!"

#3  According to the web, "The average lifespan for Alzheimer’s disease could range from nearly nine years for persons diagnosed at age 65 to approximately three years for persons diagnosed at age 90 years” Lifespan for Alzheimer's disease."

There are other forms of dementia. For example, frontotemporal dementia. This affects people at an earlier age than Alzheimers and patients seem to decline rapidly with often dramatic personality and cognitive changes.

The DNC seems to have a problem and be in denial. It could be a problem for the U.S. as well.
