White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to confirm 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 May 14, 1944, according to the Department of Defense’s Defense POW/MIA Accounting Office. The agency said Finnegan was a passenger on an Army Air Force plane that crash-landed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of New Guinea “for unknown reasons.”
On Wednesday, while on his way to a campaign destination, Biden told a story about his uncle, whose Air Force plane was “shot down” during a “reconnaissance flight over New Guinea” during World War II.
“[He] It was shot down in an area where there were many cannibals at the time. They never recovered his body,” Biden said. “But while I was there, the government came back and inspected the plane parts and things like that and found out.”
