Joe Biden told a harrowing story during an event in 2017 about facing down a razor-wielding gang leader named Corn Pop in his youth by threatening to “wrap” a chain around the man’s head. The incident came back into the spotlight over the weekend when footage of Biden’s remarks began circulating social media.
The former vice president, who has come under scrutiny in recent weeks for embellishing portions of his personal and political life, told the story when being honored with having a community pool named after him in a Wilmington, Delaware, historically black neighborhood. Biden had reportedly been the only white lifeguard at the pool during the early 1960s when segregation was still in effect.
The event started with Biden discussing how his time as a lifeguard had opened his eyes about racial injustice and privilege. It, however, quickly took a strange turn when Biden, flanked by children from the local community, decided to recount a nearly violent altercation he had at the pool with a misbehaving swimmer.

So Joe Biden admitted that he wanted to put a Blackman in chains, what a "Racist"!
hes losing it big time
The truth about DumboRats is out, they are after our guns and do want to put chains back on black people!
Now he's getting delusional.
And the ladies on the View think Trump has mental issues. Go figure
But but but orange man bad. Isn’t that all that matters?
A white life guard at a black only pool. BS
It's true. I distinctly recall Brian Williams reporting on the story, and then it was on the newsreel before the feature at the movies.
Next Joe will remember saddling Caesar Rodney's horse for his ride to Philly.
Joe now says he was right there marching for Civil Rights with MLK jr. and said he almost was hit by assassins bullets meant for King!
