President Biden said last week that his house burned down with his wife Jill Biden inside before trying to correct himself, adding to a long list of personal stories he’s embellished over the years.
Speaking on a New Hampshire bridge on Tuesday about his bipartisan infrastructure plan, Biden said, "Without this bridge, as I said earlier, it’s a 10-mile detour just to get to the other side. And I know, having had a house burn down with my wife in it — she got out safely, God willing — that having a significant portion of it burn, I can tell: 10 minutes makes a hell of a difference."
Biden has recalled the story before, saying in 2013 that a fire "destroyed a significant portion" of his New Hampshire home.
However, a 2004 report from the Associated Press, archived by LexisNexis, said lightning struck the Bidens’ home and started a "small fire that was contained to the kitchen." The report said firefighters got the blaze under control in 20 minutes and that they were able to keep the flames from spreading beyond the kitchen.
The president has a long history of exaggerating stories about himself. Most recently, he recounted for the fifth time during his presidency a heartfelt yet factually challenged story about an Amtrak employee during a speech in New Jersey. The employee Biden frequently mentions actually died a year before the story was said to have taken place.

One cant help but do such when you have dementia.....
His wife drove in front of a truck after she found out Joe was cheating with Jill.
Too bad he wasn’t in it.
A compulsive liar with a non existent filter due to dementia.
He’s the laughing stock of the rest of the world and even the Democrats regret cheating him into office plus he anchors the Presidential “good job” poll, making him worse than either Carter or Obama. Time to get out the hook and yank him off the stage.
To think, this is what is making decisions for America, all I can say is GOD HELP US.
“He’s the laughing stock of the rest of the world and even the Democrats regret cheating him into office plus he anchors the Presidential “good job” poll, making him worse than either Carter or Obama. Time to get out the hook and yank him off the stage.”
Brandon should have NEVER BEEN PUT ON STAGE TO BEGIN WITH.
There’s no way Pelosi and Co. wanted to ‘cheat’ an intelligent person into the WH... he’d want to actually BE President, instead of a sock puppet who does what he’s told.
Goodness - I’ve never met an old man who told exaggerated stories! Well, maybe a few....
I’ve been trying to figure out who the real puppeteer for Biden is, and now I think I know. Question: Who is the only past President in the history of this Republic who did NOT leave DC when their term was over. (Hint: He led the world’s first Apology Tour.)
Whatever this is far from the worst thing he’s doing.
He been doing this his whole career. Like Brian Williams, and Hillary, and a ton of narcissists in media and politics.
True that but was really addressing his latest occurrences.
He lives in his own little world where he is the center of the universe.......................
“When I get excited I make things up”
That’s not old Joe that’s 1980’s Joe talking about why he lied about his Law School records and scholarships. So being an old man is no excuse for him. He’s been doing it for a long time.
And the media is all “ha ha ha, that’s just Joe”
For decades he has defamed the guy who was driving the other car in the accident when his first wife was killed. He always says the guy was drunk, but he wasn’t. The family has tried to fight this narrative forever, but nobody pays attention. Joe is too powerful.
