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.

True dat.
I think he meant the Civil War. Gettysburg.
Joe has been an inveterate liar and an abhorrent person his entire life. His continued lying and reprehensible conduct will not move the needle in the upcoming election. For white suburban women, this election is pro-life vs pro choice. For everyone else, it is Trump vs Not Trump.
I take it he worked as Oppenheimer. In a. Mask
Outside of the spiritual cost, or "Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue",
physically, the amygdala - center of emotions in the brain, becomes desensitized by habitual lying. (It has to, to continue the behavior. IOW, it shuts down, or walls-off the (emotional) consequences.
Constant 'shuttering' of the amygdala is directly responsible for dementia.
And he has hairy legs. :)
Correct. He simply has no regard for the boundary between truth and falsehood. He just violates the line at will. A psychiatric syndrome, pseudologia fantastica, in which people fabricate stories aggrandizing themselves, or focussing on themselves in a favorable light. And apparently once they concoct the story they come to believe it themselves.
Was the charge “Child Molesting?”
The only things he’s capable of remembering are the lies he’s told over and over for years.
(Snicker, Snicker)
Civil WAR era I would believe...
Biden also recounted the time he and Beau were shot at Kent State during their protesting days.
Gee whiz bro, all these years, I have watched that video, and I have always wondered who that guy was, that the Roman guards were beating up on? I thought it looked like Brandon, but now I know for sure. Thank you for clearing that up bro. 😀😆😃

Biden was born in 1942. “In the 1950s”, as he likes to say, he would’ve been from 8 to 18. I don’t think he was advocating for civil rights at that time, but I could be wrong.
More whoppers from Joe? Still telling the same sad stories and lies?
...Why wouldn’t he? Why shouldn’t he?

Joe Biden repeats False tale that he got arrested during Civil Rights era
**********************************
Which side was he on?
Don’t forget the four fried chickens and a coke he shared with Aretha Franklin.
He forgets what lies he got caught telling. If Joe potato got arrested back then it had to be for unlawfully touching children. He was on his buddy Robert Byrd’s side of the civil rights fight. It’s such an embarrassment that we have such an idiot for president. Who looks at Joe potato and thinks, that’s the guy we should have as our president?
