President Joe Biden has repeated a lie about travelling 17,000 miles with the Chinese premier in his latest flubbed speech, where he also referred to the 'O'Biden' administration.
The 81-year-old was giving speaking at a White House event Thursday to mark Greek Independence Day when he repeated the false remarks.
He repeated the long-debunked claim that he had covered the extensive ground during visits with the Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Biden re-stated the claim while recounting an anecdote about how President Xi had once asked him to define America.
'I was once asked by Xi Jinping, and I traveled 17,000 miles with him — I was out at the Tibetan plateau. He looked at me and he said, "can you define America?" I could say the same thing if he asked me to define Greece.
'I said, "yes, one word" and I mean this sincerely, it's recorded, I said, "possibilities."'
The president is fond of the claim, which earned him a 'bottomless Pinocchio' rating from the Washington Post. The Post describes the distinction as 'false or misleading statements repeated so often that they became a form of propaganda.'
The outlet quashed the statement in 2021 after it noted the president had reiterated it around 21 times.
