�The Daily Show� took a bite out of President Joe Biden�s recent claim that
his uncle Ambrose Finnegan � �Uncle Bosie� � might have been eaten by
cannibals after his plane went down during World War II.

Biden told the story during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania last week, saying
that �Uncle Bosie� had been a part of the Army Air Corps in the Pacific when
he was �shot down� over Papua New Guinea.

�He flew those single-engine planes as reconnaissance over war zones, and he
got shot down in New Guinea. They never found the body because there used to
be, there were a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea,�
Biden said at the time.

Both the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency and Papua New Guinea Prime
Minister James Marape tell different stories, however. According to the
Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, Finnegan�s plane was not shot down at all,
but suffered an engine failure and had to ditch over the water. Marape issued
a statement after Biden�s comments went viral, saying, �President Biden�s
remarks may have been a slip of the tongue; however, my country does not
deserve to be labeled as such. World War II was not the doing of my people;
however, they were needlessly dragged into a conflict that was not their
doing.�

The segment began with Chieng noting that the Manhattan hush-money trial of
former President Donald Trump left the campaign trail wide open for Biden �
and then they cut to Biden�s story about �Uncle Bosie.�

�You�re going to lose the election,� Chieng responded afterward.

�Look, at some point, we all get to an age when we confuse our own life story
with the plot of �Indiana Jones,'� Klepper argued.

�Even if this story was true, Americans are in no position to criticize how
anyone else eats, okay? These cannibals eat people � yeah, well, you know
what? We eat Subway sandwiches to lose weight,� Chieng riffed.

�Would a cannibal even eat people out of a wreckage?� Klepper wondered. �I
mean, that�s like their version of eating roadkill � Biden apologized to the
Papua New Guinea prime minister by inviting him to a dinner with Pete
Buttigieg, who will be served over rice with balsamic reductions.�
