I’m guessing this was the “son of” or someone related to Corn Pop.
Joe Biden recounted a 1962 story of confronting “CornPop,” a gang leader nicknamed for a brand of cereal, while working as a lifeguard in Delaware. Biden described him as a “bad dude” armed with a razor who threatened him, but they ultimately reconciled, a tale told to highlight his bravery.
Key details of the story told by Biden include:
The Confrontation: While working at the Prices Run pool in Wilmington, Biden scolded CornPop for breaking rules on the diving board.
The Threat: CornPop and his gang, “the Romans,” waited for Biden outside with a straight razor.
The Resolution: Advised by a mechanic, Biden confronted CornPop with a long chain, leading to a de-escalation.
Some say this was just the ramblings of a demented old man. But I say, if you can’t believe your President, who can you believe?
