staff devoted a large chunk of last week to this project. We hauled and sorted through a few dozen boxes from the relevant years, which proved to be a needle-in-a-haystack proposition, as we feared.”
Rifenburg continued, “To be safe, we searched the full range of dates from 1960 to 1965. It does seem extraordinarily unlikely that an appointment would have been made in 1965, given President Biden’s years of matriculation at the University of Delaware, but we wanted to be thorough. We were unable to find appointments for entry in 1961, 1963, 1964, or 1965.”
Watch Biden make the claim here:
Biden, during the speech, also called on the graduates to defend “democracy,” then said that America was founded on the idea of equality and “ideas need defenders to make them real and that’s what you, the class of 2024, are all about. The defenders of freedom, champions of liberty, guardians – and I mean this – guardians of American democracy. You must keep us free at this time, like none before.”
He also called on them to be loyal “not to a political party, not to a president but to the constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies, foreign and domestic”. And, calling on them to defend “democracy,” he said, “From the very beginning, nothing is guaranteed about democracy in America. Every generation has an obligation to defend it, protect it, preserve it – now it is your turn.”
