Biden recounted: "She said, ‘Remember when they were desegregating Lynnfield, the neighborhood … suburbia — and I told you — and there was a Black family moving in and there was — people were down there protesting; I told you not to go down there, and you went down, remember that? And you got arrested standing on the porch with a Black family? And they brought you back, the police?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, Mom, I remember that.’"
The New York Times, which took aim at President Biden on Thursday for "actively and effectively" avoiding journalists' questions during his first term in office, reported Friday that Biden "appeared to once again stretch the truth about being arrested at a Delaware desegregation protest as a teenager."
"There is no evidence that he was ever arrested at a civil-rights protest," the Times added.

Another suspected "lie" was Biden's claim that he was "runner-up in state scoring" in football during his high school years.
Price's post on social media also referenced a claim made by Biden about receiving "salacious pictures" from women in the 1970s during his time as a senator, which he gave to the Secret Service.
"I got put in that ten most eligible bachelors list … and a lot of lovely women… would send very salacious pictures, and I'd just give them to the Secret Service. I thought somebody would think I was —," Biden told Stern before shifting topics.
It's unclear how the Secret Service would have been involved. Senators do not receive Secret Service protection, and Biden didn't receive Secret Service protection until 2008, when he was elected vice president.
Others also took aim at the president for his remarks on Stern's show.
"Another day, another Biden lie … at least no one got eaten by cannibals in this one," conservative commentator Rita Panahi wrote in a post on X.
Fox News' Jeanine Pirro, co-host of "The Five," also weighed in on Biden's "lies," questioning Friday how Biden can debate if "he can't even keep his lies straight."
Earlier this month, during a visit to a war memorial near his hometown in Pennsylvania, Biden faced criticism for appearing to imply that his uncle was eaten by cannibals after his plane was shot down during World War II.
"He flew single-engine planes, reconnaissance flights over New Guinea. He had volunteered because someone couldn't make it. He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals in New Guinea at the time," Biden said at the time. "They never recovered his body."

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre later acknowledged that Biden’s maternal uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, whom he refers to as "Uncle Bosie," did die in WWII when his plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean, but confirmed he was not eaten by cannibals, as Biden seemed to suggest on two separate occasions during his visit to the state.
