What compels him to do this? Surely he must realize he's going to be fact-checked. Well, maybe not. His entire career seems to be one fraught with lie after lie.

President Joe Biden dropped a political bombshell this week, claiming he single-handedly convinced the late Senator Strom Thurmond to vote for the Civil Rights Act when he would have been just 21 years old.

Speaking at the 60th-anniversary celebration of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law at the White House, Biden declared, "Pause for just a moment. I thought things had changed."

Then, with a dramatic flourish, he announced, "I was able to — literally, not figuratively — talk Strom Thurmond into voting for the Civil Rights Act before he died."

"And I thought, ‘well, maybe there’s real progress,'" he added. "But hate never dies, it just hides. It hides under the rocks."

But here's the jaw-dropping fact-check: Biden was born on November 20, 1942. The Civil Rights Act passed the Senate on June 19, 1964. That means the President would have been a mere 21 years old at the time and nowhere near the Senate seat he eventually won at the age of 29.

During this period, Biden was a student in History and Politics at the University of Delaware in Newark.

Not to mention that Strom Thurmond, who once held the record for the longest filibuster in Senate history against civil rights legislation, didn't die until June 2003, nearly four decades after the Civil Rights Act passed.

The White House tried to smooth over this whopper by telling Fox News that Biden was instrumental in getting Thurmond's vote for the Voting Rights Act 1980. But the President's claim about the Civil Rights Act remains baffling.
