"Biden's Emotional Response to Trump's Controversial Remarks on Service Members"

TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden suggested twice this week that his uncle, a military veteran who died during World War II in a plane crash off the New Guinea coast, was eaten by cannibals, a claim that differs from the official account. The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency states that Biden's uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, and two other men "failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash." Biden's remarks came while discussing the alleged disparagement of American soldiers by former President Donald Trump. The White House did not defend the accuracy of Biden's cannibalism account, and Biden has a history of embellishing stories.
