"I wasn't arrested, I was stopped. I was not able to move where I wanted to go," told CNN's John Berman on"New Day."Biden had recently claimed multiple times on the campaign trail that he was arrested on the trip to South Africa during apartheid. He's used the story as part of his larger efforts to connect with African American voters ahead of the South Carolina primary, where a big showing is critical if he is to remain viable in the race.
On CNN Friday, Biden said he was visiting South Africa with a delegation from members of the Congressional Black Caucus when he was separated from the group at the airport. "They had me get off a plane -- the Afrikaners got on in the short pants and their guns. Lead me off first and moved me in a direction totally different. I turned around and everybody, the entire black delegation, was going another way. I said, 'I'm not going to go in that door that says white only.
shaunking He’s losing his mind.
shaunking despite recently LYING you mean
shaunking
The truth always catches up with them. 😦
Lies: Trump: 13,000+ Biden: 1 🤷♂️
PepperOceanna Face it. He lost his marbles!
Can you please broadcast this? I mean even his answer when chrislhayes asked him about it. If it was BernieSanders or ewarren you guys would have been hounding them about it every day. notmeus Bernie2020 SCprimary2020
ddale8 He was detained (which Andrew Young also said). There's no functional arrest between detention and arrest.
PATHETIC
teambernie27001 But but but, he’s the most electable.
So he lied! Where is the Biden fact checker?
But people still voting for this false sack
You reporting on this ?! I’m sincerely shocked 😮
Bro, why you lying about stuff like that?
I want the candidate that doesn't have to make up barbershops and lie about getting arrested to appeal to black people. thanks.
ByrningBunny Who cares, we are talking the 70’s, please! If that’s all you can destroy ones long reputation on, SAD!, regardless if he is our nominee or not, just pitiful!!!
Mentiroso desconfiable
shaunking How convenient to only drop the story a day before the S.C. primary elections as too not hurt Biden’s chances when people like shaunking and others were talking about this a week ago. ManufacturedConsent
shaunking Now call out all the other lies he's told! DO YOUR JOB!
And 150 million dead
shaunking So either he lied or his dementia addled mind concocted a memory of an event that never happened
When a republican misspeaks it’s a lie, when a Democrat does it it’s a mistake.
What about him claiming 150 million gun related deaths in the US since 2007? Dude is a complete idiot! QuidProQuoJoe
No Joe, please protect your VP legacy and suspend your campaign. You will be a great senior statesman and can work with your beloved “Beau” fountain. This is more than embarrassing and getting worse.
Joe, this story gives me the unfortunate final decision to vote for another candidate.
Thanks for playing. 🙄 The nomination was his to lose, and he blew it. The American people are tired of BULLSHITTERS. Be honest and tell people what they NEED TO HEAR, not more lies. Its a sad state of affairs when someone who is honest and genuine is called a 'crazy radical'.
and of course ur Biden gets a pass for lying and making fairy tales it must of slipped his mind that he's cought on tv admitting to out right corruption.. PRO QUO Joe..
What else did he lied about?
sahilkapur Its called a lie. A disgusting attempt to protect his lead with Black voters.
been wondered why Obama has kept his distance. wait till the other stuff about him comes out. ....chap is rotten to the core he's fungus material
Trumps a prolific liar.
sahilkapur I really don’t care
Where is the word ‘lie’ in this tweet that you like to use so much?
Now ask him why he is lying about his civil rights activism
Biden sold out the USA to China. Our pharmaceuticals, antibiotics, medications, medical supplies all made in China. A National Security threat to the citizens of the USA. Biden has Betrayed our Country
He lied then
Why does he say this shit? Especially right now. We're trying to get rid of someone who tells lies constantly. Why would Biden think it's good thing to say
Proved, liar.
