Biden Says ‘Essence’ of War Story Is Accurate

Joe Biden pushed back on a report in the Washington Post that he recently told an inaccurate story in New Hampshire about traveling to Afghanistan to reward a heroic Navy captain, the Charleston Post & Courier reports.

Said Biden: “The story was that he refused the medal because the fella he tried to save —and risked his life saving — died. That’s the beginning, middle and end. The rest of you guys can take it and do what you want with it.”
