Claim: U.S. President Joe Biden was arrested as a kid while standing on a porch with a Black family as white people protested desegregation. "'And I told you, there was a Black family moving in and there were people down there protesting. And you came, you got arrested for standing out on the porch with a Black family. An account managed by the Republican National Committee, RNC Research, wrote, "Biden claims he 'got arrested standing on the porch with a Black family' during the civil rights movement. Similarly, an Associated Press article from the same year mentioned arrests at the home of a Black family but did not name Biden.
