On Monday, Biden spoke at a 9/11 commemoration ceremony in Alaska, where he incorrectly claimed he was at Ground Zero one day after the terrorist attack on Lower Manhattan.
“And I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building,” he said. “I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell, it looked so devastated because of the way you could — from where you could stand.”
The president, however, was not there on Sept. 12, but on Sept. 20. In his own memoir, “Promises to Keep,” Biden revealed that on the day after 9/11, he was actually in Washington presiding over business on the Senate floor.

The president started his day by fondly recalling during a speech at Prince George’s Community College that “I taught at the University of Pennsylvania for four years and I used to teach political theory. And folks, you always hear, every generation has to fight for democracy.”
One problem: Biden never actually taught a single course at Penn and only made nine reported visits to the Philadelphia campus despite raking in nearly $1 million from the university between 2017 and 2019.

“I, you might say, was raised in the synagogues of my state. You think I’m kidding, I’m not,” claimed Biden, America’s second-ever Roman Catholic president.
The 80-year-old cited the Beth Shalom congregation in Wilmington, Del., as “the home of countless friends for me.”
Biden’s memoirs, however, lack any details about such ties, with the latest claim suspiciously resembling his assertion from last year that he was practically “raised in the Puerto Rican community at home.”
