Posted5/2/2021 5:30 AM In his first speech to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, President Joe Biden "stretched the truth" when he went off script and ad-libbed, according to The Washington Post. Biden said he "spent a lot of time with (Chinese) President Xi -- traveled over 17,000 miles with him."
This claim, previously debunked by the Post, doesn't add up. In 2011, when Biden was vice president, he traveled to China to meet with Xi Jinping, who was serving as vice president at that time. During the three-day trip, they had dinner in Beijing and visited a city nearly 50 miles away. Biden then flew to Mongolia.
