Quick Glance: Fact Check: Biden Repeats Claim of Arrest for Defending Civil Rights. Still No Evidence
  • President Joe Biden reiterated his story of allegedly trying to defend the civil rights of Black Americans on 'The Howard Stern Show.' However, there is no evidence to support his claim of ever being arrested at a civil rights protest, as noted by 'The Washington Post' and 'PolitiFact.'

  • Biden has told the story of his supposed presence at a specific protest in Delaware at least twice without mentioning an arrest. He stated that the police simply took him home on that day.

  • It is impossible to prove definitively whether Biden was present at this or a similar protest over 60 years ago. He has also made other false claims about his personal life in the past.

  • Biden falsely claimed to have 'driven an 18-wheeler' and that he never earned $400,000 in a year. During his 2020 presidential campaign, he claimed to have been 'arrested' as a US senator while trying to visit South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela in prison, which turned out to be untrue.

Paramedic Avoids Prison in Death of Elijah McClain
Quick Glance: Former Aurora Paramedic Sentenced to 14 Months Work Release
  • The former Aurora paramedic involved in injecting Elijah McClain with ketamine, resulting in his death, has been sentenced to 14 months of work release and four years of probation and community service.
