  • In February 2016, a meme featuring a photo of Vice President Joe Biden, along with a quote ostensibly uttered by him asserting that no ordinary American cares about their constitutional rights, began circulating on Facebook: While we found no record of Biden's having uttered this phrase, we did uncover several articles from 2013 that made an identical accusation. Those articles, such as this post from a web site called ExposeObama.com, featured a video of Biden talking about gun control that showed what he actually said, which was worded differently and had a different meaning in its full context than the claim made here: This speech was delivered by Biden during a forum at Western Connecticut State University in February 2013 shortly after the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting. While a clip from that event is frequently shared along with the claim that Biden had said that nobody cares about constitutional rights, it does not capture the Vice President uttering that phrase at any time during his speech.
