Biden’s Uncle Probably Wasn’t Eaten by Cannibals, Actually
President Joe Biden on Wednesday made a pretty shocking claim about why the body of his uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, was never found after Finnegan’s plane went down during World War II.
“He got shot down in New Guinea,” Biden said at the United Steelworkers Headquarters in Pittsburgh. “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 mentioned his uncle—known to his family as “Bosie”—in a speech which also criticized his election rival Donald Trump for reportedly calling U.S. veterans “suckers” and “losers.”
