The White House has admitted President Joe Biden ’s recent claim his uncle was eaten by cannibals isn’t true.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre acknowledged Friday President Biden’s maternal uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, actually died when his plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean during World War II — and that he wasn’t eaten by cannibals, as Biden implied on two separate occasions Thursday.
“You saw him respond to all of you when asked about the moment yesterday and his uncle who lost his life when the military aircraft he was on crashed in the Pacific after taking off near New Guinea.” The press secretary cut short follow-up questions, citing the presidential plane’s approach to the Philadelphia airport.
Later Thursday, Biden told steelworkers in Pittsburgh that Ambrose Finnegan “got shot down in New Guinea and they never found the body because there used to be — there were a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea”.White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
