Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is being called out for falsely claiming the Boilermakers Union, which represents tens of thousands of American workers, had endorsed him for president.

What did Biden say?

During his ABC News town hall last week, moderator George Stephanopoulos asked Biden about his position on fracking. Biden denied he would ban fracking as president, but Stephanopoulos noted that a member of Boilermakers Local 154 had told the New York Times he doubts Biden’s denials.

Biden said in response, “I’m telling the Boilermakers overwhelmingly endorse me me, OK, so the Boilermakers Union has endorsed me because I sat down with them and went into great detail earlier to show their leadership exactly what I would do, number one.”

What’s the truth?

According to John Hughes, leader of Boilermakers Local 154, Biden is not telling the truth.

In fact, not only has the union not endorsed Biden, but the Boilermakers Union has not endorsed any candidate for president.

“The other day I’m watching the debate and I see Joe Biden tell everybody that the Boilermakers endorsed him and that is not true,” Hughes said on a Saturday press call, Breitbart News reported. “And I would like somebody to tell me who — he said he talked to somebody — I’d like to know who he talked to in the Boilermakers because anybody I talk to did not endorse him.”

“And I believe if you go onto our International [Boilermakers] website we have not endorsed a candidate this round, nor did the International Boilermakers endorse a candidate last time,” Hughes explained. “We did not endorse Obama and Joe Biden last time because of their energy issues.”

Former Rep. Lou Barletta (R-Pa.) also blasted Biden.

“I couldn’t believe it when Joe Biden blatantly lied at a town hall right here in Pennsylvania and said he was overwhelmingly endorsed by the Boilermakers,” he said, according to Breitbart.

Anything else?

Although the Boilermakers has not made a union-wide endorsement, the chapter invoked during the town hall, Boilermakers Local 154, has endorsed a candidate: President Donald Trump.

“It is with great honor that I write this letter to endorse your campaign as you run for re-election of the President of the United States,” Hughes wrote in a letter to Trump last month.

  1. Its like everything else Democrats say,its all a pack of lies,Its like a former president used to say,democrats know so much that isn’t true,I believe that was Ronald Reagan,the problem is their ignorance knows no bounds and they flat don’t care.

    1. I overwhelmingly second that. I have not seen one of Biden’s speeches where he has not blatantly lied such as when he claims Trump drove the economy into the ground. For sure Trump will embellish a fact but Biden out and out lies. Perhaps he has no choice as the lie may be on the teleprompter he simply reads.

      1. Biden is a congenital liar and a psychopath. The truth as he spouts it, constantly, is a fantasy but bcuz the fake news MSM presstitutes never call him on it the moronic lefties accept his lies as gospel.

  2. This is another story that Joe Biden tells on National TV that is completely fabricated! If I were the Boilermakers, I would make sure this blatant lie is advertized on every possible social media site.

    1. A noble solution but the social media nazis will squelch any and every scintilla of truth that doesn’t paint O’Biden in an unfavorable light. Americans need to wake up and kick these social media sites to the curb. Don’t use them. They are all bottom line conscious and when the $’s dry up they’ll collapse or get the message and report the news instead of censoring it. Zuckerberg is by far the worst of the lot. He lies to Congress but somehow manages to skate out from any consequences.

  3. Why is Joe Biden not in jail for his dealings with Ukraine and China with making his son Hunter and himself very rich? The man for 47 years has been ripping off the American people and now wants to be president of the United States.
    If this man wins the presidency we will never get justice which means all the corruption done by Obama, Biden, the FBI, Come and the rest of the Democrat criminals in our government will not be prosecuted and get off scot-free.
