Biden Tells Another (Mostly) Made Up Story

Yesterday Joe Biden gave the fact checkers even more material for them to ignore.

Speaking at the Summit on Fire Prevention and Control, Biden claimed that firefighters came close to death when responding to a fire at his Delaware home in 2004 that lasted 20 minutes.

"I was doing Meet the Press', and lightning struck a little pond behind my house, came up through the ground, into the air conditioning system,' Biden said. "[The fire] ended up generating this thick, black smoke… And from the basement to the third floor, the attic, everything was ruined. We almost lost a couple firefighters, they tell me, because the kitchen floor was – the burning between beams in the house, in addition to almost collapsed into the basement."

However, as the Washington Examiner's Naomi Lim tracked down, the Associated Press reported at the time that the fire was small and contained to the kitchen. Cranston Heights Fire Company Chief George Lamborn told the AP “Luckily, we got it pretty early."

Biden previously spread exaggerated claims about this fire in November 2021 while promoting his infrastructure plan in New Hampshire. When speaking about the impact that emergency response delays can have, Biden falsely claimed “And I know, having had a house burn down with my wife in it — she got out safely, God willing — that having a significant portion of it burn, I can tell: 10 minutes makes a hell of a difference.”

None of the three major U.S. fact checking outlets (PolitiFact, Snopes, and FactCheck.org) have yet to check Biden for this claim.
