As Americans across the country gathered to honor and remember the brave soldiers who fought and died on the beaches of Normandy, one man stood out for all the wrong reasons.
Joe Biden traveled to France for the D-Day anniversary celebrations. But instead of paying his respects and delivering a heartfelt speech, he chose to disgracefully steal Ronald Reagan’s iconic words from his historic address on that very same beach.
Before even arriving in France, Biden’s aides were already planning to use this event as an opportunity to remind Americans of Reagan’s powerful speech delivered on the 50th anniversary of D-Day. But what they didn’t expect was for Biden to blatantly plagiarize those very words.
In a video that has since gone viral, Biden can be seen standing in front of a crowd at Normandy Beach, reciting lines from Reagan’s speech almost word-for-word.
WATCH:
But this is not the first time that Biden has been accused of plagiarism.
In fact, during his failed presidential campaign in 1988, he was caught plagiarizing a speech by British politician Neil Kinnock. And now, over 30 years later, he has once again been exposed for his lack of originality and integrity.
D-Day is a sacred day in our nation’s history, and to see someone using it as a platform for their own political gain is despicable.
Reagan’s words on that beach were powerful and moving because they came from the heart of a true leader who understood the sacrifices made by those brave soldiers.
But Biden’s attempt to imitate Reagan falls flat. It is clear that he does not possess the same passion and genuine love for this country that Reagan did.
Instead, he sees it as an opportunity to boost his own image and further his political agenda.
In response to the backlash over his plagiarism, Biden’s team released a statement claiming that he had “accidentally” mixed up notes from both his own speech and Reagan’s.
But this excuse falls short when you watch the video and see him confidently reciting Reagan’s words without any hesitation or mention that these were not his own words.
The fact remains that Joe Biden stole Ronald Reagan’s speech on the D-Day anniversary at Normandy Beach.
And while some may try to downplay this incident or brush it off as a simple mistake, it speaks volumes about his character and lack of respect for our nation’s history.
