Joe Biden, president

“Joe Biden's uncle "got shot down in New Guinea, and they never found the body because there used to be — there were a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea.”

PolitiFact rated this: Highly unlikely, experts say

PolitiFact says: The plane crashed over the ocean, making it unlikely anyone would have stumbled upon the bodies. And while cannibalism has been practiced in New Guinea, it was usually practiced on family or enemies, not strangers.
