Biden's Claim of Uncle Bosie Eaten by Cannibals in WWII New Guinea Sparks Outrage
Apr 22, 2024, 12:30 AM
President Joe Biden recently made controversial comments claiming that his uncle, referred to as 'Uncle Bosie,' was eaten by cannibals in New Guinea following a plane crash during World War II. These statements have sparked widespread attention and criticism, leading to fact-checking efforts by multiple news outlets, which found no evidence to support Biden's claims. The remarks have also caused diplomatic ripples, with Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister James Marape responding by stating that his nation does not deserve the cannibalism label and urged the US to address the remnants of World War Two in the Pacific. The White House described Biden's comments as an 'emotional and symbolic moment,' but this has not quelled the controversy or the backlash from various quarters, including residents of Papua New Guinea and political commentators.
