Jill Biden’s ex-husband mentioned he knew that Joe Biden had hassle with the reality the primary time they met — and the budding politician swiped a narrative from Invoice Stevenson’s life and handed it off as one in every of his personal.

The 75-year-old advised The Publish that Biden was operating for the US Senate in 1972 when he stopped by the Stone Balloon, Stevenson’s new evening spot in Newark, Delaware. Stevenson advised Biden an anecdote about how his mom had requested his prep-school soccer coach why the schedule for the season’s video games was prominently posted within the ladies’s lavatory. The coach gave a humorous reply that Stevenson repeated to Biden.

“No disrespect … [but] that’s the place our schedule belongs: within the girls’ room,” mentioned the coach — the implication being that the shedding crew was enjoying like “a bunch of ladies,” mentioned Stevenson.

Two hours later, after Biden was launched to the membership’s bouncers — all of them College of Delaware soccer gamers — he repeated the identical story as if it had been his personal — proper in entrance of an astonished Stevenson.

“I simply stared at him in shock,” Stevenson advised The Publish. “He simply acted prefer it was his personal story. I simply advised myself, ‘This have to be what politicians are like.’”

The Publish has reached out to the White Home for remark.

Stevenson, who slammed what he referred to as the “Biden crime family” in an interview with Newsmax this week, mentioned he’s together with the anecdote in his upcoming e-book on the primary household, “The Bidens: The Early Years,” which is due out within the fall.

“Persons are solely now beginning to suppose that one thing is incorrect with Joe, however again then I noticed the roots of his plagiarism,” mentioned Stevenson, who married the long run first woman in 1970 when she was nonetheless a college scholar.

“I knew that he had some points after I met him in 1972, though I at all times thought he was an enthralling man again then,” Stevenson mentioned.

Biden has had a penchant for borrowing strains from different individuals’s work. In 2020, he lifted lines from a Canadian politician’s speech in the course of the Democratic Nationwide Conference that yr. In 1987, he withdrew from the Democratic Get together’s presidential race in disgrace after he reportedly ripped off UK Labor get together chief Neil Kinnock’s phrases in a debate.

Stevenson mentioned he supported Biden twice when he ran as vice-president with Barack Obama — and was a key supporter when Biden ran for the US Senate in 1972.

In truth, Stevenson mentioned he raised $3,000 to fund a union picket line, organized by mob hitman Frank Sheeran, to assist Biden — a longshot candidate — win the election. The picket was meant to forestall copies of the native Delaware newspapers, the Morning Information and the Night Journal, from hitting the newsstands within the marketing campaign’s remaining days once they contained commercials for Caleb Boggs, Biden’s opponent. (Sheeran was later immortalized in Martin Scorsese’s 2019 movie, “The Irishman.”)

However Stevenson mentioned that he was moved to interrupt his silence this week after first son Hunter Biden was scheduled to obtain sweeping immunity below the phrases of a sweetheart plea deal on tax and gun prices. The deal, which might have seen him plead responsible to 2 misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay taxes and enter a diversion program on a felony federal gun cost, was torpedoed by US District Choose Maryellen Noreika Wednesday.

The scenario with the primary son was like deja vu, mentioned Stevenson, who advised The Publish that he was threatened by Biden’s household throughout his divorce from Jill within the mid Seventies.

Stevenson mentioned Biden’s brother, Frank Biden, advised him that if he didn’t surrender his home to Jill he would face “severe issues.” Months later, Stevenson and his brother had been indicted on prices for $8,200 in unpaid taxes — the identical prices Hunter faces — and he believes that the Bidens weaponized the Division of Justice in opposition to them.

“What occurred to me practically destroyed my life. So after I noticed that Hunter Biden was strolling away with misdemeanors for not paying greater than $2 million and a gun cost, I needed to talk out,” mentioned Stevenson.

Stevenson ran his storied concert venue which featured appearances by Bruce Springsteen, Robert Palmer and Metaliica, amongst others, till 1993, and has largely remained silent about his ex spouse and the president, he mentioned.

“I can’t let him [Joe Biden] manipulate the justice division once more,” he continued, including that he believes Biden is utilizing the DOJ to derail former President Donald Trump, who Stevenson now helps.

“Joe practiced on me, and I would like everyone to know that one thing is happening right here, and that he’s executed this earlier than.”

The Bidens have claimed they met on a blind date in 1974. Jill was formally divorced from Stevenson in 1975 and married Joe two years later.
