It’s a little too early for him to start falsely padding his resume in order to win votes in 2016, but that didn’t stop Vice President Joe Biden from claiming he did something he didn’t.
Traveling in Warsaw, Poland, Biden claimed that when serving as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he led the fight in getting the country to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Via The Hill:
Fifteen years ago, I was honored, as the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, to lead the fight for Poland’s admission into NATO.
One small hiccup, though: he was Chairman from 2001 to 2003. Poland joined NATO in 1999. Oops. It was actually Republican Senator Jesse Helms (NC) who served as Chairman at that time.
