BIDEN SAYS HOUSE BURNED ‘WITH MY WIFE IN IT,’ ADDING TO LONG LIST OF EMBELLISHED STORIES House Democrats, including Reps. Eric Swalwell and Ted Lieu of California and Joaquin Castro of Texas, pounced after Santos admitted to lying, calling for him to resign from Congress or be forced to do so by Republican leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California. For years, Biden has been criticized for fabricating stories, from claiming to having been arrested in apartheid-era South Africa to being in a helicopter that was "forced down" by Al Qaeda insurgents in Afghanistan. Most recently, Biden was criticized after telling the hurricane-devastated island of Puerto Rico that he had been "raised in the Puerto Rican community at home, politically," in Delaware. In November 2021, Biden said during a speech in New Hampshire that his house burned down with his wife, Jill, inside. Weeks before that, he recounted for the fifth time during his presidency a false story about an Amtrak employee during a speech in New Jersey. The employee Biden frequently mentions actually died a year before the story was said to have taken place. In 2019, Biden told a crowd of college students a harrowing story about a Navy captain in Afghanistan that was later debunked by The Washington Post. In 2013, Biden said he heard the gunshots of an Amish schoolhouse shooting that killed five students while playing golf nearby in Pennsylvania in 2006. The Washington Times poured cold water on the claim at the time, reporting that no golf course in the area had any record of hosting Biden. BIDEN REPEATS DEBUNKED AMTRAK STORY FOR FIFTH TIME DURING PRESIDENCY In 2007, Biden said he had been "shot at" during a trip years earlier to Iraq. He later clarified that he was "near where a shot landed." During his failed 1988 presidential campaign, Biden was busted for lying about his academic record and plagiarizing speeches on the campaign trail, which ultimately derailed his bid. "I went to law school on a full academic scholarship, the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship," Biden said during a 1987 campaign stop in New Hampshire, adding that he "ended up in the top half of my class" and "graduated with three degrees from college." Biden later admitted that, in fact, he graduated at the bottom of his class, had only a partial scholarship and graduated with only one degree. He also said at the time that he "marched with tens of thousands" of people during the civil rights movement, but that also turned out to be false.
