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.

Darn, I plumb forgot about that.......thx for the reminder.
He trained Jesse Owen’s how to run, taught Jackie Robertson how to hit a ball, showed Chuck Berry to play the guitar.
And he never even brags abput it.......watta guy........./s.
He’s a poor, well-intentioned senile old man... ha ha ha ha ha ha
I guess Al Gore already claimed to have invented the internet, but Biden could convince many that he invented the wheel. Actually, it was the square wheel, a forerunner of the round wheel.
Howard Stern and Joe Biden “simply love each other”, as Creepy Joe’s father might have explained.
With those guys as friends, Joe had little to fear from Corn Pop.
Wow. Joe has certainly done a lot in his 182 years!
Did he really say that?!
He did the same with Hillary, you should see that one, I almost puked “I am your biggest fan, you are everything I love in a President, they treated you so mean when you ran for President” Once Stern got that huge contract from Sirrius radio he instantly became “Hampton Howie” ultra left
Caution: Watch with barf bag ready...

Wow, Stern has really sold out his brand.
He’s now just as pathetic as Drew Barrymore talk show.
Actually more pathetic cuz Drew actually has a “p***y”
Stern is just one big one
