NEW:Biden recently said,"I had the great honor of being arrested with our U.N. ambassador on the streets of Soweto" trying to see Mandela. Not how the UN ambassador from the '70s remembers it.
On Biden's claims of arrest in South Africa, w/ @thomaskaplanhttps://nyti.ms/2wEWFRb
3x in past two weeks, Biden has recalled getting arrested in South Africa while trying to see Mandela. A search of avail news accounts turned up no references to an arrest&it's a departure from how he+Jill Biden describe a trip to South Africa in memoirshttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/21/us/politics/biden-south-africa-arrest-mandela.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage …
How campaign now explains this:He was on codel and separated from members of CBC when arriving in South Africa:“He was separated from his party at the airport." When a reporter noted that being separated did not constitute an arrest:“It was a separation"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/26/us/politics/joe-biden-arrest-mandela.html …
Biden has said Mandela told him, ‘You tried to see me. You got arrested trying to see me.’” Campaign now says: “it was a reference to Mandela coming to D.C. after he was released from prison, he met with Senator Biden, thanked him for his work, his anti-apartheid work.”
“No,I was never arrested&I don’t think he was, either,”said Andrew Young, UN amb from'77-'79. “I would not forget going to jail, but I know I did not ever go to jail in South Africa.”campaign didn't respond to 5 efforts to seek clarification for this storyhttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/21/us/politics/biden-south-africa-arrest-mandela.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage …

I love this.
“No, I was never arrested and I don’t think he was, either." - Andrew Young ouch.
Look, I love fightin' Joe, but there are 2 problems with his claim right off the bat: 1. It's Robben Island. Not Robbens Island. 2. Soweto is a SOuthWEstern suburb of Johannesburg. It's not even remotely how get to Robben Island - a short boat ride away from Cape Town.
That’s a fact. Soweto and Robben Island are about 1000 miles apart. Uncle Joe’s memory may be playing tricks here...
