He may not be lying. In his state of mind, he may not be able to distinguish reality from fantasy.
I thought that too. He has dementia, so he ‘misremembered’. It is very common. His handlers said he was remembering a telephone conversation, which might be the case. He remembered it in his mind as a ‘virtual’ visit. This is even scarier than just flat out lying. I am not sure he has the ability to know the difference any longer.

I’d be willing to cut Biden some slack if he hasn’t been doing this all is life. And the lies he tells are so very easy to check. He lies anyway.
From 1987: “I went to law school on a full academic scholarship, the only one in my class who had a full academic scholarship,” Biden said.
Just another lie.

Well he was always a liar. BUT as many of us know dementia is tricky. my closest friend for decades has recently been diagnosed with dementia. We talk several times a week and the conversation is completely normal about politics, family etc. Her sons and I have been in contact, and I relate to them how normal she seems. Example, she told me she was waiting on results from an ultra sound a week earlier, has called the doctor and still doesn’t have the results and is furious over not getting a call from dr. I asked her son and he said that was over a year ago. She also told me her granddaughter was in London for her first year in college……she is still a junior in high school.
I have no doubt in some part of Joe's mind he thinks he was there. But Joe also suffers from another problem. He's a know habitual liar.
Once you go down that road you can convince yourself you've said or done, or not, practically anything in spite of the evidence.
Yes. In his mind he visited and that’s all that matters. Just like when Hellary was in the mist of gunfire at the airport.
