President Joe Biden is no stranger to telling stories that make listeners cringe or question their truthfulness.
And on Tuesday, he left Twitter aghast after a story he told during an event.
“I had a nurse named Pearl Nelson — military. She’d come in and do things I don’t think you learn in nursing school,” Biden began. “She’d whisper in my ear, I couldn’t understand, but she’d whisper, and she’d lean down and actually breathe on me to make sure there was a human connection.”
He added, “She went home and brought back her pillow from her own bed because the one I had wasn’t comfortable.”
