Biden Claims He Was Arrested Back in the ’70s Trying To Visit Nelson Mandela – But No One Remembers It

MRC TV:

Former vice president and 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden is now bizarrely claiming he was arrested with the UN ambassador trying to visit Nelson Mandela in South Africa back in the ‘70s.

There’s just one problem: the UN ambassador at the time said he doesn’t recall ever being arrested with Biden – and neither does anyone else.

“This day, 30 years ago, Nelson Mandela walked out of prison and entered into discussions about apartheid,” Biden said at an event in South Carolina last week, repeating a story he’s told at least three times on the campaign trail. “I had the great honor of meeting him. I had the great honor of being arrested with our U.N. ambassador on the streets of Soweto trying to get to see him on Robbens Island.”

But according to the New York Times, Biden’s never mentioned this alleged arrest, which you’d think would be a pretty prominent story in his record, before: MORE

  1. It’s time for his doctor to step in and advise him on his advancing dementia and how they can treat it.
    Joe is losing it daily, right before our eyes. Maybe a dr in California can prescribe him a new house with padded cells. I’d do it myself, however,I’m not a doctor but I play one on tv.

  2. Ol’ Joe cn still be a writer of creative fairy tales, he could use the name Father Goose.
    Then he would be free from that vexation called truth.
    Jill would be satisfied with money. and power.

  3. When I was a young black boy we used to play a game where we’d smash ourselves in the head with a fruit jar. Whoever broke it won. Everybody else was too weak and I was the reigning champeen on the stoop up throughcollege. Defeated all comers. I sure showed them. I still prefer Mason jars, they’re tougher than Ball.

  4. Wife needs to pull her head out of the sand, son needs to pull his head out of the blow pile and take crazy Joe home. Even Obama figured out how to make Biden disappear for weeks at a time.

  5. “…being arrested with our U.N. ambassador on the streets of Soweto trying to get to see him on Robbens Island.”

    I’m not sure what he is trying to say here. Soweto and Robben Island are 1400 kilometers from each other. What is it he was doing that at would have been a cause to be arrested?

  6. Biden doesn’t steal only valor, he steals life. He is obviously insecure about his own accomplishments, which are nil.

    How can you be in politics for so long and have nothing of merit to point for validating your life? Zero Biden.

    Typical swamp dwelling sludge.
