President Joe Biden has a track record of spinning tall tales about his past, including some that PolitiFact has rated False or Pants on Fire.
In an April 26 interview on "The Howard Stern Show," Biden told the talk radio star that he got arrested decades ago while protesting in defense of civil rights.
Biden said his mother encouraged him to accept Barack Obama’s invitation to be his 2008 running mate by reminding him of the stance Biden took while young when a civil rights flare-up happened in the suburban Delaware community of Lynnfield, near where Biden’s family lived at the time.
Biden said his mother used the moment to point out that all these years later Biden had the chance to help Obama become the first Black U.S. president.
We have heard this story before...
Police were called to the home as hundreds of people protested outside. There were a few arrests, but there is no record of Biden being arrested. We rated Biden’s statement False.
It was not the first time Biden shared a falsehood about his arrest history. In 2020, Biden said he was arrested in South Africa in the 1970s, a statement we rated Pants on Fire. Biden was stopped at an airport when he was traveling with African American colleagues but we did not find he was arrested, and Biden later walked back that part of his story.
Following the Stern interview, we emailed Biden spokespeople to ask whether they had additional evidence about Biden being arrested in Delaware in the 1950s. We recieved no response.

Liars gonna lie...
Him and Beau help carry Jesus’s cross to the Crucifixion site and were beat up by the roman guards.
It’s not senility (though Joe is obviously senile) - he’s been getting caught in obvious lies for decades now, long before senility could have been an issue.
Biden’s got more fantasies than Walter Mitty!
Stern turned out to be the biggest kiss ass on this planet.
Hard to disprove that, since there's most likely no incident report or arrest record to consult.
It’s the sign of a pathetic, insecure, immature, little man suffering imposter syndrome.
Nobody confronts him about it that’s why he keeps doing it, it drives me crazy.
It’s only news IF he tells the truth....
Joe Biden: “I was born a poor black child...”
It’s truly an indictment on how truly pathetic a life he’s lead when he has to make up lies to present his life as “remarkable”
Especially as one whose be a senator for the vast majority of his life.
.
Trump may exaggerate but he doesn’t have to spin an interesting story of his life out of whole cloth.
In fact, if he was to write a true life autobiography, he’d out perform many famous Hollywood writers.
Word!!
Biden’s so humble /s........he refrained from mentioning the time
he and Nelson Mandela ate a whole watermelon together in the WH.
Ain’t that the truth.
Stern has become exactly what he used to ridicule, an establishment hack.
He was feeding Biden lines just as he was reading from a script, which no doubt he was but Biden couldn’t remember his own lines!!!
Did he say “Civil Rights” or “Civil War”?
President Trump just visited NY cops and firemen and brought them couple dozen pizzas.
Not to be outdone, Biden is meeting with DC garbage men and brought them bags of WH trash.
I wanna see the mugshot.
When Politifact leaves a Democrat, hell is freezing over.
