Biden makes one untrue, ridiculous, stupid statement out of thousands over the course of his career, and people are at him like wolves.
Biden said:
When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened,'”
That’s two untrue, ridiculous, stupid statements in one sentence, assuming you accept the implication that FDR was president at the time. But I’m willing to cut him a bit of slack over historical minutiae that don’t really bear on contemporary issues. Some mistakes are funny; others are scary, and he’s not making scary mistakes.
