WASHINGTON – Vice President Joe Biden has mangled a heaping helping of facts over the years. Despite being newer to presidential-campaign politics, Republican Paul Ryan already has earned something of a reputation for taking flying leaps past reality. How’d they do Thursday? Here’s a look at some of their claims:

BIDEN, on whether U.S. should have beefed up security at the U.S. Consulate in Libya before the deadly terrorist attack there: “We weren’t told they wanted more security there.”

RYAN: “There were requests for more security.”
