Origin
In May 2021, an image supposedly showing a newspaper clipping in which U.S. President Joe Biden told the leaders of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that he once dropped acid with the Beatles was circulated on social media:
This is not a genuine newspaper clipping.
We have not been able to determine the specific origins of this fake newspaper article, but there are a number of red flags that indicate that this is a satirical article.
Let’s start with the image. The photograph included in this article is real and shows Biden during a meeting with FEMA leaders in May 2021. However, a number of major news outlets wrote about this meeting, noting that Biden doubled funding for states and local communities to prepare for natural disasters, such as hurricanes or wildfires, yet none of these articles mentioned in their reports this anecdote from Biden about dropping acid with the Beatles.
