    Impressively documented thread backing up Biden's Corn Pop story (although I'll note that the mockery comes not just from people who thought it was unlikely but also from people agog at Biden's very digressive and scattered telling).https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1173342875691692032 …

    Biden is facing skepticism for a story he has told about a 1960s confrontation at a Wilmington, Delaware pool with a guy named Corn Pop -- partly because of the name Corn Pop. Here's an obituary for Wilmington's William L. "CornPop" Morris, who died at 73 in 2016. (Thread) pic.twitter.com/HGuLyorEvW

        Pls ask a blk person WHY we side eye this. It's not the story's improbability. It's the improbability that it happened as he told it. You DO know that even gangsters are aware of racial dynamics and how much time they do if they INJURE a white man vs KILLING a blk one, right?!

        And where did the chain come from? Do we believe chains were readily available at a public pool?

        The point is Biden’s need to be seen as macho - a need that continues into into his advanced age. Last week he asked a reporter if he wanted to wrestle. Biden is also desperate to be seen as some sort of racial uniter.
