Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign is now walking back repeated claims that he was arrested in South Africa years ago, clarifying Tuesday that he was not arrested and instead “was separated from his party at the airport.”
The Biden campaign initially declined to address questions regarding the legitimacy of his statements after he made the claim at several recent campaign appearances.
Deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield clarified that Biden was referring to a time in which he was, “not allowed to go through the same door that the — the rest of the party he was with,” went through, adding, “Obviously, it was apartheid South Africa. There was a white door, there was a black door. He did not want to go through the white door and have the rest of the party go through the black door. He was separated. This was during a trip while they were there in Johannesburg.”
In a campaign appearance in South Carolina, Biden labeled the incident as an arrest instead of a separation, stating, “I had the great honor of being arrested with our U.N. ambassador on the streets of Soweto trying to get to see him on Robbens Island.”
IOW, he got lost and wandered off....................
He really is Grandpa Simpson.
What a putz.
Never ending euphemisms for LYING. The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal. FUJB. FUenablers.
That headlines reads straight-out of Babylon Bee.
So the dimwit doesn’t know the difference? Please explain, Biden campaign.
And the claims that he was interrogated by the SA police were walked back to he was given a lollipop and a pat on the head.
Heh, that clown has been separated from his brain for a very long time.
Oh, forgot, he’s a Democrat. No one has noticed.
Except, of course, we despicables.
But was he under fire in Bosnia?
They ditched him.
He's a putz, but he's also our Great Senile Hope in the Democratic wars.
Just doing a little “R-&-R” on the story - rip up and rewrite.
The first one doesn’t fit the facts, invent another version. The outcome has to make the bearer of the tale look good, you know.
Joe just “misremembered”. It appears he does that a lot.
I would not believe anything Biden says. I wonder if he has ever told something that was strictly factual. “Truth over facts”, I guess?

Best quote from Grandpa Simpson was when he started getting checks for the Itchy and Scratchy cartoon that Lisa and Bart made and when asked about it
Bart said : Grandpa what did you think when you started getting checks when you didnt even work
Grandpa: I just assumed the Democrats were back in power
I was arrested the last time I went to Disneyland. It angers me to this day. I really think I should sue them.
Oh, wait. I just got into the wrong line while waiting for a ride. Never mind.
