Joe Biden has never been accused of being the brightest bulb on the tree and apparently that comes from the fact that he has no idea who even invented the lightbulb. According to Joe, it was a black guy and not “white guy Thomas Edison” who actually came up with it. Making matters worse, this history revision is all part of Joe’s plan to eliminate racism in this country, that he ignored for the half-century he has been in Washington.
Biden went to Kenosha, Wisconsin on Thursday to heal the racism by speaking to a handful of bored people in a black church. Fearing he was losing the crowd, he went with this:

“We gotta, for example, why in God’s name don’t we teach history in history classes? A black guy invented the lightbulb not a white guy named Edison, Okay?” Biden said.
So Biden’s actual question here is: why don’t we teach fake history instead of real history? This is not hard. Try a google search. Or just go to Wikipedia:
Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman who has been described as America’s greatest inventor. He developed many devices in fields such as electric power generation, mass communication, sound recording, and motion pictures. These inventions, which include the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and early versions of the electric light bulb, have had a widespread impact on the modern industrialized world. (my emphasis)
Wikipedia also covers the black guy, who Biden claims really invented the lightbulb. His name was Lewis Latimer.
Latimer received a patent on January 17, 1882 for the “Process of Manufacturing Carbons”, an improved method for the production of lightbulb carbon filaments.
As you can see, he didn’t invent the lightbulb, he came up with a slight improvement to an already existing invention. That’s like claiming Steve Jobs invented the telephone because he improved upon Alexander Graham Bell’s original design.
Somehow the rest of Biden’s “history” rant wasn’t much better. What the f*ck is this?
“There’s so much did anybody know before we what we we wuh what the levious happen?” Biden asked.
Sorry Joe, I can’t answer that question because I don’t understand your strange language. I watched the clip a dozen times and that’s the best transcription I could come up with, so I’m going with that’s what he said.
And because Joe is certain he will lose and is preparing for a post-election career as a stand-up comic, this is how he ended things:
“We gotta give people facts. Teach them what’s out there,” said Biden.
In Joe Biden’s America, facts are what he says they are. This would be bad enough from an average liberal wannabe despot, but Joe is both a lunatic and suffering from dementia. If he’s elected president we’ll have to accept that the square root of 100 is “purple” and that chicken parmesan really discovered America.
