"White House Confirms: Biden's Uncle Died in Pacific Ocean Crash, Not Eaten by Cannibals"
TL;DR
White House press secretary confirmed that President Biden's uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, did not die at the hands of cannibals as Biden had suggested, but rather in a plane crash in the Pacific Ocean during World War II. Biden's inaccurate claims about his uncle's death have been contradicted by the official US military account, and this incident adds to a history of Biden sharing false personal anecdotes in an attempt to connect with his audience.
