Biden Confesses To Making Up Details Of South African Story; ‘I Wasn’t Arrested. I Was Stopped’


Former Vice President Joe Biden confessed that he wasn’t actually arrested once in South Africa after stating he was at several campaign events.
On three different occasions during the past month, Biden told a story about being “arrested with our U.N. ambassador” while attempting to meet with South African leader Nelson Mandela back in the 1970s. However, now-former ambassador Andrew Young has refuted that story.
Biden has gone on to personally acknowledge that his recollection of the event was not accurate during an interview on CNN.

I was stopped,” he said as he again recounted traveling to South Africa with members of the Congressional Black Caucus disembarking from the plane.
“They led me off first and moved me in a direction totally different. I turned around, and everybody, all the entire black delegation was going another way. I said I’m not going to go in that door that says, ‘White only,'” Biden said. The former vice president said he was told that he was not allowed to go with the other members of Congress. Biden was a senator from Delaware at the time.
“They kept me there until, finally, I decided that it was clear I wasn’t going to move,” he said. “And so, what they finally did, they said, OK, they’re not going to make the congressional delegation go through the black door. They’re not going to make me go through the white door. They took us — my memory serves me — through a baggage claim area up to a restaurant, and they cleared out a restaurant.”
Biden went on to say that Mandela later thanked him for standing up for his black colleagues during a trip to America, something Biden had attempted to pass off as being praise for his arrest.
“When I said arrested, I meant I was not able to move. Cops would not let me go with them, made me stay where I was,” he concluded on Friday. “I wasn’t arrested. I was stopped. I was not able to move where I wanted to go.”
Sure, Biden. Sure.
The former vice president has made a number of critical gaffes while on the campaign trail that seem to have had a pretty profoundly negative impact on his presidential aspirations. Once favored to be the right man for the job, Biden is slipping further and further down in the polls and has yet to have a good performance at any of the primaries thus far.

Cable News Blasted for Conjuring Controversy in Columbus Police Shooting
This is just dirty.


The sad truth of the matter, when it comes to the mainstream media, is that they are more successful when we are more emotional. It’s a dirty trick of human biology: The chemicals in our brain that allow us to feel joy, sorrow, humor, and fury are just similar enough to one another that we become addicted to them, one and all. Feeling something stimulates our self-awareness, and we learn to crave it. So, when you tune into CNN and what they are saying angers you, they’re planting small hooks in your noggin, reeling you in to watch the commercials that pay all of their salaries. If you watch Fox, however, and you find yourself enthusiastically cheering after a host or guest has a mic drop moment, your brain again finds what it’s looking for, and here you are seeing your 14th Progressive commercial of the day. All of the big networks know this and actively participate in this salacious shamanism, and sometimes they cross the line. Liberal outlets HuffPost and AJ+ omitted key details or pushed false narratives in their videos about the fatal police shooting of a Black teenager in Columbus, Ohio on Tuesday. HuffPost failed to note the woman who was shot, Ma’Khia Bryant, pushed another female to the ground and lunged at another with a knife when police arrived at the scene. The misleading HuffPo video was accompanied by the following text, which appeared to paint the police as the villain. “Black girl killed by police,” the text read. “Police in Columbus, OH shot & killed a Black teen around the same time the verdict was read in the Derek Chauvin trial. Body-camera footage showed an officer firing several times at Ma’Khia Bryant before she collapsed to the ground. The video also showed a knife falling next to the…

Derek Chauvin on Suicide Watch, Away From General Population
Chauvin’s incarceration will certainly not be a pleasant one once he leaves isolation.


There is little doubt that Derek Chauvin is going to have a bad time in jail. The former police officer was just convicted on several charges stemming from his involvement in the death of George Floyd, with one those charges being murder in the 3rd degree. Chauvin’s sentence won’t be known for some time, likely about 8 weeks, so there’s no telling just where he’ll wind up serving his time. But ex-cops don’t fare all that well in certain prisons, and there will almost certainly be an incentive to tangle with the guy while he’s on the inside. For the time being, however, Chauvin is being kept separate from the general population, out of fear for his safety. Derek Chauvin has been pictured in his first mugshot taken at the maximum security prison in Minnesota where he’s on suicide watch after being found guilty on all three counts of murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd. The Minnesota Department of Corrections released the new booking photo on Wednesday morning as Chauvin woke up from his first night at MCF-Oak Park Heights. The 45-year-old dressed in an orange jumpsuit appeared tired and puffy-eyed with a frown and his hair in disarray. The mugshot was soon making the rounds online. https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1384867831792209921?s=20 Chauvin is expected to file an appeal in the coming weeks, possibly on the grounds that he could not have possibly received a fair trial with the statements being made in public by politicians such as Maxine Waters of California.
