Joe Biden Doubles Down on Claims His Uncle Was Eaten by Cannibals

Speaking at a campaign stop in Pittsburgh this week, U.S. President Joe Biden claimed that his uncle, 2nd Lt. Ambrose J. Finnegan Jr., had never been found due to cannibals after his aircraft was shot down during the Second World War.

“He flew those single-engine planes as reconnaissance over war zones,” Biden said of his “uncle Boise.”

“And he got shot down in New Guinea and they never found the body because there used to be, there are a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea,” Biden continued.

Was Biden's uncle eaten by cannibals near New Guinea in World War II? Here's what the president said.

Was Biden's uncle eaten by cannibals near New Guinea in World War II? Here's what the president said.​

WASHINGTON ― Was President Joe Biden's uncle eaten by cannibals? That appears to be what he suggested − twice − this week when he said the remains of his uncle, a military veteran who died during World War II in a plane crash off the New Guinea coast, were not recovered.

Biden's telling differed from an account published by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, which says Biden's uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, and two other men "failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash."

Biden discussed the 1944 death of Finnegan, a lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Forces, after visiting a war memorial where Finnegan is honored in his hometown of Scranton, Pa. on Wednesday morning. He recounted the same story during remarks at the United Steelworkers union's headquarters in Pittsburgh later in the afternoon.

So you're asking me to believe that Joe used the EXACT SAME WORDING to "double down"?

More likely you're the one doubling down.

Can you prove he wasn't eaten by cannibals?

 

[dcsports]

On Thursday, though, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre skipped over Biden’s remarks, instead stating that Finnegan “lost his life when the military aircraft he was on crashed in the Pacific after taking off near New Guinea.” Official military records also align with that version of events and make no mention of cannibals.

KJP has an impossible job.

why is this in BN? The story is more than 48 hours old.

I can pretty much prove it. Cannibals live (or lived) in the highlands, and any airman lost at sea would never go there. Why would they, when their only chance of being rescued is to stay on the beach?

Not to mention that the official AF report says that uncle Finnegan was KIA. There is a sliver of doubt there though: the designation KIA was penciled in after the typed report (and neither of the other two missing was so designated) meaning that it's not necessarily signed.

One of many reports on what the president said -- instead of nitpicking, why not listen to the demented Senile-in-Chief's own words?

Here is the quote...he never said his uncle was eaten by cannibals...he said there were a lot of cannibals where the plane went down..and that is true no where does he say that it is factual that he was eaten by cannibals...but btw, it is possible that he was...and that his body was never recovered..so, what isn't true about this story?

"And he got shot down in New Guinea, and they never found the body because there used to be − there were a lot of cannibals − for real − in that part of New Guinea," Biden continued.

IE, it's the SAME STORY presented as Biden repeating the claim.

This deserves to be reported ...

Cannibalism is (or at least was) a completely normal part of the New Guinean ecosystem. Biden's claim holds up.

 

[ClaraD]

Jesus....what the hell is wrong with him?

The plane indeed went down in Papua New Guinea and there were cannibals located in Papua New Guinea...his body was never recovered...so, point out where Biden said his uncle was eaten by cannibals? He said, the body was never recovered and there were cannibals in the area....one can conclude that and it isn't provable that he wasn't eaten by cannibals..

There was, in fact, documented cannibalism in the region in the mid-20th century.

But the DPAA entry for Finnegan says three men “failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash,” and that an aerial search the following day “found no trace of the missing aircraft or the lost crew members.” An additional crew member survived the crash, per the report.

Biden’s claim – that the military was ultimately unable to recover Finnegan’s remains – appears to be true. He is memorialized on the Walls of the Missing at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines. During his trip to Pennsylvania earlier Wednesday, Biden visited a veterans’ memorial in Scranton, where he paid his respects to his uncle, who is also memorialized at the site.

seems to me that you are twisting those words into something that wasn't said...also, yes, there were cannibals in the area...are you claiming there weren't? Or are you claiming that his uncle wasn't on a plane and didn't go down in that area? Both, btw, are true.

There was also a survivor who did get out of the plane, and was rescued by a barge. The report says the other three never got out of the plane.

It doesn't say that they never got out of the plane...it says they were never recovered. The aircraft was also never recovered...so, how would anyone know if they got out of the plane or not?

The native islanders of Papua New Guinea did have the practice of honoring their newly deceased relatives by eating some of their flesh at the funeral ceremony.

That has nothing to do with killing strangers and making meals out of them.

Typical caricatures from the ignorant Biden-worshipping left.

If it is not true, how would you compare it to 'the election was stolen' in terms of political advantage?

Dude, it was completely normal to practice cannibalism. "Killing strangers and making meals out of them" is a desperate attempt to emotionally charge the event.
