Biden 'remembers' things that never happened

 Bonchie:

Joe Biden is a consummate BS artist. We’ve all known someone like him. They constantly put themselves at the center of every story, making up events and insisting they are far more important than they are. That’s Biden’s entire political career in a nutshell.

This lump of mediocrity has managed to be wrong about essentially every foreign policy issue of the last 50 years, and yet he still pretends he’s some strategic hotshot. Case in point? Today, the president added another lie to the list, claiming he served as a “liaison” during Israel’s Six-Day War. The problem? That’s not a thing that happened.

Now, the rebuttal here is going to be “well, he just got mixed up and actually meant the Yom Kippur War.” And while Biden, not being of sound mind, likely did mean his 1973 trip to Israel, the rest of his claim still doesn’t add up.

Was he a “liaison” during the Yom Kippur War? Not that I can tell. His trip came some 40 days before hostilities erupted. Further, it appears all he did was take a tour, after which he had a single meeting with the Israeli prime minister at the time, Golda Meir.

Laughably, but so on brand, Biden tried to share a bunch of horrible foreign policy advice such as urging Israel to unilaterally withdraw as a show of peace to the Arab threat. He also chided their supposed “creeping annexation.” Honestly, his comments could have been made in 2015, and you wouldn’t know the difference. This guy has learned absolutely nothing over the last five decades.

A declassified memo published by the Times of Israel last year offers some insight into what actually happened on Biden’s trip. He even managed to throw in some arguably veiled antisemitism.
...

Unfortunately he "remembers" a lot of things that never happened.  I get the impression he may have some fleeting thought and makes up stuff to fill in the blanks.
