White House Refuses to Confirm Joe Biden’s Suggestion that Uncle Was ‘Shot Down,’ Eaten by Cannibals

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to affirm President Joe Biden’s suggestion that his uncle was “shot down” and eaten by cannibals off the coast of New Guinea.

Ambrose J. Finnegan died on May 14, 1944, in accordance to the Pentagon’s Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency. Finnegan was a passenger on an Army Air Forces aircraft that he ditched “for unknown reasons” within the Pacific Ocean off the coast of New Guinea, the company reported.

While touring to a marketing campaign cease on Wednesday, Biden told a narrative about his uncle, whose Air Force aircraft was “shot down” throughout a “reconnaissance flight over New Guinea” throughout World War II.

“[He] got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals at the time. They never recovered his body,” Biden stated. “But the government went back when I was down there, and they checked and found parts of the plane and the like.”

Jean-Pierre refused to support Biden’s suggestion that his uncle’s aircraft was “shot down” and ignored any reference to cannibals. She appeared to align her perception with the Associated Press (AP). Biden “misstated key details about his uncle’s death,” the AP reported Wednesday.

“You saw the president; he was incredibly proud of his uncle’s service in uniform,” Jean-Pierre told reporters, who had been aboard Air Force One. “You saw him at the war memorial. It was incredibly emotional and important to him.”

“You saw him respond to all of you when asked about the moment yesterday and his uncle, who lost his life when the military aircraft he was on crashed in the Pacific after taking off near New Guinea.”
