By The FirstThe New York Post fact-checked Joe Biden this week after the president told another bizarre tale. This time, he claimed his high school teacher was ‘drafted by the Green Bay Packers’.
From the New York Post:
President Biden blurted Wednesday that one of his childhood Catholic school teachers was drafted by the Green Bay Packers — an assertion disproven by a simple check of publicly available NFL records.
The 81-year-old president shared the false claim as he boasted of his connection to Wisconsin sports fans during a trip to the swing state.
According to Pro Football Reference, the Packers have only drafted a single person with the last name “Riley,” “Reily,” “Reilley,” or “Reilly” since the NFL began its annual college draft in 1936.
