President Joe Biden’s tendency to exaggerate has caused yet another mess for his handlers after he claimed that he had seen pictures of babies who were beheaded by Hamas terrorists.
The White House walked back the octogenarian leader’s remarks which he made while speaking to Jewish leaders on Wednesday, a comment that turned out to be false in the latest of a long line of fabrications from Biden, a notorious teller of tall tales.
“It matters that Americans see what’s happening. I mean I…I’ve been doing this a long time, I never really thought that I would see, have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children. I never thought I’d ever…anyway,” Biden said.”

Biden’s comments made international headlines as they appeared to confirm the most horrific detail of the primitive barbarity of the Islamist savages who in a sneak attack on civilian areas of Israel over the weekend, massacred over 1,000 Jewish citizens including 260 at an outdoor music festival and others who were slaughtered in their own homes by the Palestinian terror group.
However, they weren’t true and the White House was once again forced to walk back remarks from the geriatric career politician, adding to the embarrassment that America has suffered on the world stage since Biden took office.

“A White House spokesperson later clarified that U.S. officials and the president have not seen pictures or confirmed such reports independently,” the Washington Post reported. “The president based his comments about the alleged atrocities on the claims from Netanyahu’s spokesman and media reports from Israel, according to the White House.”
“In response to questions from the Post, an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson declined to comment on the state of the victims’ bodies,” according to the outlet.
Other media sources also reported that Biden didn’t really mean what he said.
“After President Biden’s remarks earlier today, an administration official told CNN neither Biden nor the administration have seen pictures or confirmed reports of children or infants beheaded by Hamas,” according to CNN.
“The White House did not immediately respond to a request for further details about Biden’s remarks. Two senior administration officials said Biden was referring to reports from Israel about beheaded children and cited several media reports of beheadings,” NBC News reported, also downplaying Biden’s explosive remarks.
“This attack was a campaign of pure cruelty — not just hate, but pure cruelty — against the Jewish people. And I would argue it’s the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust — the deadliest day since the Holocaust, one of the worst chapters in human history that reminded us all that — that expression I learned from my dad early on: ‘Silence is complicity,” Biden told the Jewish leaders.
“I’m not — I mean, silence is complicity. It really is. And I want you to know — I think you’ve already figured it out — I refuse to be silent, and I know you refuse to be silent as well,” he added.
