Joe Biden used the 9/11 anniversary to claim he recalled ‘standing there the next day and looking at the building’ in New York – when, in fact, he was in Washington, DC, on September 12, 2001.
Biden, 80, faced criticism for becoming the first president in the 22 years since the attacks not to spend the anniversary at one of the three sites of 9/11 plane crashes.
He compounded the criticism on Monday by falsely claiming he was at the Twin Towers the day after the attack – when in his own autobiography and video from the Senate floor put him in Washington, DC.
‘Some have said yesterday and today all has changed for America.,’ the then-Senator from Delaware said from the floor of the Senate the day after the attacks. ‘I pray that is not true. I pray that is not true…The one thing we can not allow to change are the values upon which this country is built.
‘For if that were to occur, then they would be able to declare victory, genuine victory.’
Biden also embellished on Monday his recollections of the fateful day, claiming he saw a ‘fireball’ at the Pentagon on 9/11, when in his book he describes it as ‘a brown haze of smoke.’
I heard he was on the 90th floor and rappelled out a window using braided toilet paper and carrying three others to safety.
He’s such a lying POS! If it comes out of his mouth…………it’s a lie!!!!
Liar Liar Liar in chief !!!!
Remember the episode of Seinfeld when George tells Jerry, “It’s not a lie if you believe it.” That holds true for many.
