Mollie Hemingway examines Biden's 'bizarre' false arrest claims, says they're part of 'track record of lying'
Ex-VP had to walk back claim he was detained while trying to see imprisoned Nelson Mandela

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has a "bizarre" habit of bragging about arrests that never happened, Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Monday.
"He’s dreamed of it and thought of it a great deal," Hemingway, senior editor of The Federalist, told host Tucker Carlson. "And he's had a lifetime of storytelling. I mean, I don't think he's the only politician out there to exaggerate or tell stories but he really is notable for this, and it was something that caused problems for him the first time he ran for president [in 1988] when that candidacy was derailed by his lies, his plagiarism."
In March, Biden was forced to walk back his claim that he was arrested in apartheid-era South Africa three decades ago when trying to visit Nelson Mandela.
The claim was just the latest in the former vice president's string of falsehoods, Hemingway said.
"He adopted a fake persona of a British politician [Neil Kinnock]. He had lied extensively about his academic record," she said. "He has lied about the circumstances of his family's fatal [1972] car wreck that his [first wife, sons and daughter were] in. He lied about whether the person who was involved in that was responsible or whether he was drunk.
