Another day, another bald-faced lie from our Commander-in-Chief. Remember when then-president Obama made every event about him -- from the deaths of Rosa Parks, Mohammad Ali, and Nelson Mandela to Memorial Day to even taking Hillary Clinton's 2016 loss as a 'personal insult' - it was always about him in some way, shape, or form. His former VP is giving even Obama a run for his money these days. The media, of course, explains this away as Biden merely 'embellishing his personal tales in ways that cannot be verified' (which is a lot of words to say 'Biden lies', but then again, we didn't go to journalism school). Yes, they really said that:
As president, Biden has continued a tradition of embellishing his personal tales in ways that cannot be verified or are directly refuted by contemporaneous accounts. @GlennKesslerWP breaks them down. https://t.co/AZQu07GLOE

However, is not just any other day. It is the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks that claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 Americans in New York, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania. For many, it is a day of deep reflection and mourning. For President Biden, it's another chance to lie -- sorry embellish -- some of his personal tales:

You will be shocked to learn Biden was not, in fact, in New York on or immediately after 9/11.
Narrator: Joe Biden was not at Ground Zero on September 12th. https://t.co/uhSV4ZRlg4

Where was he? Well, CSPAN has the details:
On September 12, 2001 Joe Biden was in Washington DC debating and voting for a Senate resolution to condemn the attacks on the World Trade Center.

As Senator, Joe Biden was in Washington, D.C. on September 12, 2001 voting on a resolution to condemn the terror attacks. It passed the Senate by a vote of 100-0. But why let facts stand in the way of a good tale?
“And speaking of the gates of Hell, that reminds me of the night I killed bin Laden; as I held my sword against his throat, I looked him in the eye & said, ‘Next stop: Gates of Hell,’ then I chopped off his head & donated it to a local soccer league in Pakistan, where I was… https://t.co/xpYPVV0NC6

Biden has a track record of lying about things big and small. A well-documented track record.
He repeatedly lied about how his own son died for political gain.

Lying about something like this is a layup after that. https://t.co/jh7Ru1tmKH
No one, save the brave and selfless first responders, was at Ground Zero on September 12. Or September 13. President George W. Bush visited Ground Zero on September 14, 2001, where he gave his bullhorn speech.
"I was wearing an onion on my belt, because that was the style at the time."

He's lying. Nobody got onto that site on 9/12 other than rescue workers. Besides, he was in DC -- there's video of him in the Senate. Why does this senile old man lie so compulsively? https://t.co/ORplBIwEHd
Imagine how the families and loved ones of the 9/11 victims feel seeing the president turn this day into another one of his 'embellished' tales.
Joe Biden is bringing class and dignity back.

9/11 families are excited about all the restoration of class and dignity. https://t.co/PJeAnWfeDa
So much class and dignity. A return to norms. Or something.
Never forget...and then he immediately forgets where he was. https://t.co/l3sf2QIOFa

Biden doesn't know what he did last week, let alone a September 22 years ago.
Joe Biden was not at Ground Zero in New York on September 12th, 2001. Biden was also not in New York on September 11, 2023. He delivered these remarks from Alaska. https://t.co/v3j8FZ99f7

In fact, he couldn't be bothered to be in New York today. Will the media fact-check this latest claim? Or will they add it to the ever-growing file of 'embellished' personal tales the president tells and dismiss it as Joe being Joe? We all know the answer.
