Joe Biden Flat Out Lies About Not Supporting 2005 Bankruptcy Bill

During tonight’s Democratic presidential debate, Joe Biden flatly denied helping craft a bankruptcy bill in 2005.

Sanders: “This is a little bit about leadership as well. Joe talked about bankruptcy, Joe, you helped write that bankruptcy bill.”

Biden: “I did not!”

Here’s the truth: Joe Biden not only voted for the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, he led on it.

• The Washington Post’s Helaine Olen: “Biden, Then A Veteran Senator From Delaware, Was A Lead Supporter Of The Bankruptcy Law Changes Sought By Financial Services Giants.”
• Huffington Post’s Jackson Williams: “The Credit Industry, Ever Relentless, Kept Coming Back, Confidant They Had The Number Of Elected Officials Necessary To Do Their Bidding. They Did, And Joe Biden Was Always One Of Them.”
