Biden Now Claims He Was a Victim of Apartheid in South Africa
Adding to
@katieglueck‘s story is Biden’s quote doesn’t make geographical sense. “I had the great honor of being arrested with our U.N. ambassador on the streets of Soweto trying to get to see him on Robbens Island.” Soweto is almost 900 miles away from Robben Island

Andrew Young, the former Atlanta mayor who was the United States’ U.N. ambassador at the time, was also skeptical of the account, given he didn’t believe members of Congress would be arrested in South Africa.
“No, I was never arrested and I don’t think he was, either,” Young told The Times.
“Now, people were being arrested in Washington. I don’t think there was ever a situation where congressmen were arrested in South Africa.”
