A strange admission from President Joe Biden: he made false claims that he was arrested trying to meet Nelson Mandela in South Africa during the 1970s. The New York Times reports that several times during the 2020 campaign, Mr. Biden made the false claims.
The Washington Post gave the claim four “Pinocchios.” It is not known why he said it in the first place and so many times, but during a visit from the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, President Biden admitted that he had not been arrested.
