Less noted was that in the same interview, Joe Biden lied yet again. He insisted that he had been endorsed by the NAACP "every time I've run."
No.
No, he hasn't.
He's never been endorsed by the NAACP.
The NAACP issued the following statement:
NAACP Statement on Endorsement Comment by Former Vice President Joe Biden
May 22, 2020
Derrick Johnson, president and CEO of the NAACP, made the following statement about a remark by former Vice President Joe Biden during his Friday morning interview on “The Breakfast Club.”
“Yesterday, former Vice President Joe Biden made a comment about the NAACP’s endorsement. We want to clarify that the NAACP is a non-partisan organization and does not endorse candidates for political office at any level. Persons affiliated with the NAACP at the national, state, and local levels are free to make candidate endorsements in a personal capacity, but they do not reflect support by the NAACP as an organization. The NAACP has one mission and that is fighting for and advancing our Black communities towards an equitable reality. Our primary focus at this moment is to ensure that our communities that have been victims of domestic terrorism and disproportionately impacted by this pandemic have the opportunity to cast their powerful vote come November.”

When does Joe stop lying and when does the media start seriously calling him out for these lies?
