On Tuesday, former Vice President Joe Biden channeled his inner Barack Obama by falsely claiming that their administration was scandal-free.”Know what I was most proud of? For eight years, there wasn’t one single hint of a scandal or a lie.”
You can actually watch him make this absurd claim with a straight face here:

The scandals of the Obama-Biden administration have been well-documented, but also well-covered-up by the media. They refused to give the scandals of the Obama-Biden administration the coverage they deserved when they happened, and they refused to challenge Obama when he repeatedly made claims of having a scandal-free administration and they certainly aren’t going to challenge Biden echoing those same claims. I will, however, because unfortunately, too many people believe the myth of the scandal-free presidency of Barack Obama. So, here are just ten scandals of the Obama-Administration that Sleepy Joe is apparently proud of.
10. New Black Panther Party Scandal Scandal
On Election Day 2008, members of the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) stood outside a Philadelphia polling place wearing military garb making racial remarks and discouraging people from voting. A voter intimidation case against the NBPP began weeks before Obama took office. It was an open-and-shut case, and the NBPP didn’t even show up in court to defend themselves. The government was on the verge of victory by default in the case. But the case was inexplicably dropped by Attorney General Eric Holder in May 2009. When the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights investigated, the Obama-Biden administration refused to respond to requests from the commission and Congress. Federal attorneys were instructed not to cooperate with the investigation and then-Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Tom Perez (the current chairman of the Democratic National Committee) lied under oath about who was involved in the decision to drop the case. If this wasn’t a scandal, why did the Obama-Biden administration obstruct the investigation?
9. Walpin-Gate AmeriCorps Firing Scandal
In 2009, Barack Obama fired Inspector General Gerald Walpin for investigating his friend and donor, Kevin Johnson. Johnson was under investigation for misusing federal grant money for AmeriCorps. Johnson took $850,000 of that money for his own nonprofit organization, where he used it to pay for political activity. Walpin’s investigation revealed a cover-up of sexual abuse allegations against Johnson made by three underage students. These three girls were offered some of this grant money as hush money. When Walpin recommended charges against Johnson, Obama, in violation of federal law, fired him. An investigation by Congress into the illegal firing was met with stonewalling by the Obama White House, and the withholding of documents. The Obama White House also deliberately misled Congress about the reasons for the firing. Is Biden really saying that isn’t a scandal?
8. The Green Energy Loans Scandal
Does Joe Biden really think that when more than fifty clean energy companies backed by the Obama-Biden administration went bankrupt or found themselves in major financial trouble that isn’t a scandal? Tell that to the taxpayers who footed the $80 billion for their “green economy” initiatives that went to companies that supported their campaign. The most well-known example of one of these companies that went belly-up was Solyndra. Solyndra received more than a half-billion-dollar loan despite the fact the Department of Energy (DOE) knew they were on the verge of bankruptcy.
Perhaps the reason Sleepy Joe wants us to forget this one is because he and Obama were both personally involved in the decision-making process to determine who got loans. According to a lawsuit, only companies that donated to the Obama-Biden campaign and other Democrats got these green energy loans and the Obama-Biden administration stole proprietary technology from companies that didn’t get the loans to give to Obama-Biden cronies that were awarded the loans.
