President Joe Biden on Monday observed the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks at an event in Alaska during which he made the dubious claim that he visited Ground Zero in New York city the day following the attacks.
"Ground Zero in New York - I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building. I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell," he said. "It looked so devastating... from where you could stand."
Biden, however, was in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 12, 2001, for a Senate session. His 2007 book "Promises to Keep" states that Biden arrived in Washington on Sept. 11 after a plane hit the Pentagon and that he saw the smoke from that crash, per the New York Post. The outlet further highlighted a headline from Sept. 12, 2001, that asserted Biden spent the day in D.C.
His book makes no mention of any trip to Ground Zero in New York, but does state "I headed back to the Capitol the next morning," placing him in D.C. for much of the day.
The president has long attracted scrutiny for his habit of telling dubious stories in apparent bids to relate to his audience. He has repeatedly claimed that his son Beau died in Iraq, for example. In reality, Beau Biden died in 2015 of brain cancer at Walter Reed National Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
His latest gaffe comes amid mounting scrutiny of his age and fitness for office. At age 80, Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history.

Well, one thing I remember well from that time was that Hillary was basically MIA during that critical time period, in contrast to Giuliani, Trump, and even Schumer.
Has Biden ever been honest or truthful about anything? Aside from his statement to a voter “I DON’T WORK FOR YOU!”, I cannot think of a single example.
“...”I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell,” he said....”
Too bad the POS didn’t do the USA a big favor and step right on thru it, but it won’t be long.....his day is coming fast now. The Grim Reaper most likely has him on the short list.
And don’t forget his Corvette. I’m sure he remembers that.
Jo Jo was already a lunatic 22 years ago. His dementia is nothing new.
he lost his son beau in the collapse.
He visited a closet with a little girl is more likely
Another story the corporate media won’t cover.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
This guy is a hoot.
He’s lied so horribly and so often he has lost all contact with actual real events in his past. All he has is an instinct to lie and embellish and try to impress with fantasy stories.
A sign of a true sociopath.....................
He was probably out jogging around the WTC with Chelsea Clinton as the buildings where collapsing.
Lying demented P.O.S.
That is why they won’t have a live presser.
They know he would not have the sense to not do something stupid live on the air..............
Thanks... I’d never seen that before.
