Joe Biden has previously told of being arrested in South Africa while traveling with black lawmakers. He reversed himself Friday in a CNN interview.
Former Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged Friday he had not been arrested in apartheid South Africa when visiting Nelson Mandela in prison in the 1970s, despite previously saying so on the campaign trail.
His correction to the story caps off a controversy over the origins of an account fact-checkers at the Washington Post had called "ridiculous." Biden's deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, later told reporters the story had referred to the trip in the 1970s and that he "was separated from his party at the airport."Monmouth poll: New poll shows Biden with 20-point lead in South Carolina primary
According to Biden, South African officials wanted him and the black lawmakers in the delegation to go through two separate doors, but"I made it clear I wasn't going to move," and the officials eventually decided to take all of the lawmakers together to the baggage claim.
