Joe Biden has said in the past that he thanks his brother for setting up a blind date with his current wife Jill. However, in an interview with Jill’s ex-husband Bill Stevenson, he stated that the relationship of Joe and Jill is built on lies. “I was betrayed by the Bidens. Joe was my friend. Jill was my wife,” Bill Stevenson, a fundraiser for Biden’s first Senate campaign quoted.
“Right before the election in ’72, Jill, Joe, Neilia, and I were in [Biden’s] kitchen,” said Stevenson, who owned a popular college bar called the Stone Balloon in Wilmington, Del., said he had held a fundraiser for Biden that past August. He said he first realized his wife was having an affair with Biden when a man stopped by his bar one day and asked him to pay for damage Jill had apparently caused to his car during a fender-bender. The man told Stevenson that Biden, not Jill, had been driving her car at the time. Stevenson said he also became suspicious after Jill declined to go with him to meet Bruce Springsteen, telling him she had to babysit Biden’s two young children instead.
Brain surgeries
In February 1988, after several episodes of increasingly severe neck pain, Biden was taken by ambulance to Walter Reed Army Medical Center for surgery to correct a leaking intracranial berry aneurysm.While recuperating he suffered a pulmonary embolism; a serious complication.
After a second aneurysm was surgically repaired in May,Biden’s recuperation kept him away from the Senate for seven months. One day, while he was alone in a hotel room, Biden felt a sharp, stabbing pain at the back of his neck.
Biden wrote that the pain was like nothing he had ever experienced and that he lay unconscious on the floor for five hours after it occurred.There, he underwent a lifesaving, six-hour surgical procedure to fix an aneurysm that had begun leaking at the base of his brain. In May of 1988, Biden underwent a second operation to repair another aneurysm on the opposite side of his brain.
His neurosurgeon gave Biden less than a 50% chance of making a full recovery.
Plagiarism
Biden ran unsuccessfully for the 1988 Democrat presidential nomination. He was already in trouble for plagiarism after it was revealed he lifted parts of John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address and excerpts from a Hubert H. Humphrey speech.
He was also caught in lies regarding a full college scholarship he didn’t receive, inflated college grades, unearned college degrees,
