WASHINGTON, September 13 US President Joe Biden did not make false statements statements about a visit to New York after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, but only made inaccuracies in the dates of the trip, said White House strategic communications coordinator John Kirby.
«He went there. He talked about going to the memorial a week or so after those events,» Kirby told reporters.
According to him, the trip had a strong influence on Biden.
Earlier, Biden was caught lying about his trip to New York after the September 11 terrorist attacks. On the next anniversary of the terrorist attacks, the US President met with the military and made a statement in Alaska, where he arrived after participating in the G20 summit and visiting Vietnam. Biden said that the day after the terrorist attacks he was at the Twin Towers and the view seemed to him “like looking through the gates of hell.” In fact, on September 12, 2001, Biden was in Washington and spoke at a special session of the Senate.
