President Joe Biden dropped another of his tall tales at a White House event, claiming he had gotten “100 hostages” out of war-torn Gaza.
Speaking about the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7th, 2023, Biden told those gathered for the White House Hanukkah reception on Monday that he had rescued nearly half of the more than 200 people who had been taken into Gaza as hostages.

“The trauma of that day and its aftermath is still raw and ongoing,” the lame-duck president said, speaking of the horrific Oct. 7 events and the atrocities committed by the terrorists.
“I’ve gotten over 100 hostages out. I will not stop until I get every single one of them home,” he vowed, just weeks shy of his departure from the Oval Office.
In a report earlier this month, the American Jewish Committee noted that seven Americans are still being held by Hamas.
“Of the initial 251 hostages taken, 117 have been returned to Israel so far: eight were rescued by Israel Defense Forces; 105 were released as part of a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel, and four were released by their terrorist captors,” the Daily Wire reported.
Biden’s outright and unchecked lie was met with the usual criticism and head-scratching on social media.

“If hostages are released on inauguration day because of Trump’s threats the shameless Biden WH will take full credit for it,” Doug Powers added.
“Disgusting that he’s taking credit for this,” another X user posted.
Certainly most people understand by now that he never says anything except what serves his purpose at the moment.

There’s something unsettling about lying at a Hanukkah reception.
