Biden Finally Admits He LIED About His Arrest Hist
Post# of 123719
Imperial Leader Joe Biden finally confessed that he lied about his arrest record.
He’s told the press on three separate occasions that he was “arrested” when he approached Nelson Mandela. Suddenly, he’s changing his tune.
Must be brain freeze from all that ice cream. He wasn’t cuffed and detained, only stopped.
On Friday, September 16, Joe Biden finally confessed his alleged arrest was an exaggeration.
While South African President Cyril Ramaphosa dropped in for a conference, Joe admitted “I wasn’t arrested.”
The new version is that he was “stopped” while trying to visit Mandela.
New York Post doesn’t believe him this time, either. They note that’s “a claim that also has faced withering fact-checks and contradiction even from Biden supporters.”
“One of the great moments of my career was when — the first time Nelson Mandela came to the United States [in 1990]. And we were in — I was a senator at the time, and we met in the Senate Foreign Relations executive committee room,” Biden babbled at Ramaphosa.
“And he came in we all stood there and said hello to him and the like and afterwards, he asked if he could come by my office and he came by to say thank you because he heard I had been stopped trying to get to visit him, to see him in prison.”
For years, Joe has been calling the incident an arrest.
That’s when the cat jumped right out of the bag. “And I said once — I said I got arrested. I wasn’t arrested, I got stopped, prevented from moving. But he was extremely gracious.”
He told the arrest lie not once but at least three times. He was allegedly trying to visit Mandela on his prison island near Cape Town. His story never did add up.
One of the reasons everyone accused Biden about lying in his arrest story is it’s full of holes.
“The story attracted scrutiny because of glaring geographical issues — including the fact that he claimed to be arrested in Johannesburg, more than 760 miles from Robben Island.”
According to the team that traveled with him, the truth is that Joe got lost at an airport.
“Biden’s team later admitted it was untrue and that he was simply ‘separated‘ from other congressmen at an airport during a 1976 visit to Lesotho, a country that borders South Africa.”
To add even more confusion about the arrest story, “even that revision was contradicted by another congressman on the trip.”
Washington Post did a fact check of the claim and actually cried bull on a Democrat. Their “fact check column called Biden’s claim that he was arrested in South Africa ‘ridiculous.‘”
That doesn’t keep him from getting lots of mileage from it.
In February 2021, Biden told a South Carolina audience that “I had the great honor of being arrested with our U.N. ambassador on the streets of Soweto trying to get to see [Mandela] on Robbens [sic] Island.”
Weeks later in Nevada, he said it again. This time, he claimed in 1977 he “came back from South Africa, trying to see Nelson Mandela” and talked about “getting arrested for trying to see him on Robbens [sic] Island.” He was nowhere near the island, no matter how you spell it. Biden spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield confirmed the arrest story is false.
Biden “was separated from the [Congressional Black Caucus] members he was traveling with at the airport, when he landed. It was a separation. He was not allowed to go through the same door as the rest of the party he was with.” What she didn’t admit was that “Biden was in black-ruled Lesotho, rather than Apartheid South Africa when he was allegedly stopped at an airport.“
