Isn’t a requirement of being a professor to actually teach classes in some shape or form?
It’s like he memorizes monologues but forgets to take the parts out that don’t pertain to him.
According to The Daily Wire:
During a campaign event in Georgetown, South Carolina on Wednesday, the former vice president said he “became a teacher, became a professor” instead of “taking a Wall Street job” when he left the White House in 2017.
The only thing that actually happened was that the University of Pennsylvania hired Biden (as for what is still unclear) and Biden merely delivered eight total speeches on campus – four in 2017, and four more in 2018.
Penn paid him $776,527 — “nearly double the average salary for everyday professors,” according to PhillyMag. In 2017, “the average annual salary for everyday full professors at Penn — excluding high-earners like doctors who don’t usually teach — was $214,000.”
In its 2019 piece, the magazine also said Biden “made $15.6 million over the past two years.”
Good to know tuition is so dang high while a non-teaching ‘teacher’ gets more than double what an actual teacher receives.
I love how he tried to suggest he did something more valuable with his time and efforts than just ‘taking a Wall Street job’ knowing full well that Penn paid him far more lucratively than the typical Wall Street job would have… for talking.
I’d be interested to find footage of the speeches – it’s probably a barrage of lying babbles devoid of educational substance.
Remember just recently when Biden stated that he was arrested in the 70’s as he attempted to visit Nelson Mandela in South Africa?
Here’s a recap –
“This day, 30 years ago, Nelson Mandela walked out of prison and entered into discussions about apartheid,” Biden said at a campaign event in South Carolina, the New York Times reported. “I had the great honor of meeting him. I had the great honor of being arrested with our U.N. ambassador on the streets of Soweto trying to get to see him on Robbens (sic) Island.”
“After he got free and became president, he came to Washington and came to my office,” Biden said later at a black history awards lunch in Las Vegas. “He threw his arms around me and said, ‘I want to say thank you.’ I said, ‘What are you thanking me for, Mr. President?’ He said, ‘You tried to see me. You got arrested trying to see me.’”
A campaign spokesman recast the whole tale this week, saying Biden wasn’t arrested, but instead “separated” from a congressional delegation for a short period while at a South African airport.
“He was separated from his party at the airport,” Kate Bedingfield told reporters after Tuesday night’s Democratic debate.
“It was a separation. They — he was not allowed to go through the same door that the — the rest of the party he was with. Obviously, it was apartheid South Africa. There was a white door, there was a black door. He did not want to go through the white door and have the rest of the party go through the black door. He was separated. This was during a trip while they were there in Johannesburg.”
