During an Air Force One press gaggle Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended the recent lie by Joe Biden that cannibals ate his uncle during WWII.

Asked about the bizarre comment concerning his uncle, KJP refused to acknowledge the accuracy of Biden’s claims and instead took a jab at Donald Trump.

On Wednesday, Biden was at the airport in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, when he claimed his uncle “Bosey” was killed after his airplane was shot down over New Guinea.

“He got shot down over an area where there were a lot of cannibals in New Guinea at that time. They never recovered his body but the government went back when I went down there and they checked and found parts of the plane…” Biden said.

Biden repeated the story during a speech to the United Steel Workers later that day.

In both instances, Sleepy Joe used the opportunity to push the lie that Donald Trump called military members “losers and suckers.”

Meanwhile, in reality, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency states, “For unknown reasons, this plane was forced to ditch in the ocean off the north coast of New Guinea. Both engines failed at low altitude, and the aircraft’s nose hit the water hard. Three men failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash. One crew member survived and was rescued by a passing barge.”
