In an extensive fact-check, The Post gave the claim its highest rating for falsehoods, four Pinocchios, which means simply “whoppers.” The paper didn’t even bother trying to cover for Mr. Biden, just called him a bald-faced liar. “It’s possible that police might have taken the young Biden home from a dangerous situation — as he said twice — but that’s not an arrest,” The Post said. Mr. Biden said he was arrested in Soweto, a suburb of Johannesburg, a city in the northeast of the country. The New York Times also called Mr. Biden a liar, albeit in more words. Mr. Young said he traveled with Mr. Biden on a trip to South Africa.
