Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden added to his recent pile of gaffes on Friday when he claimed that over 40 students were shot during a 1970 Vietnam War protest at Kent State.
The former vice president was making a point about when he first became politically aware in the 1960s and 1970s, comparing the hypothetical assassination of former President Barack Obama to the very real murders of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. "My senior semester they were both shot and killed. Imagine what would have happened if, God forbid, Barack Obama had been assassinated after becoming the de facto nominee. What would have happened in America?" he asked the audience at his New Hampshire town hall to ponder.
"Things changed," he added. "You had over 40 kids shot at Kent State on a beautiful lawn by the National Guard." However, Biden's claim about the Kent State shooting is not accurate, as four students were killed and nine others injured when members of the Ohio National Guard opened fire on a crowd gathered for a protest. The 76-year-old's latest mishap follows concerns from Democrats about his mistakes on the campaign trail. Among his verbal gaffes in recent weeks were his claim that he was still vice president during the 2018 Parkland, Florida school shooting and his remark that "poor kids" are just as smart as "white kids."
He also confused Burlington, Vermont and Burlington, Iowa while campaigning in Iowa last week and even mixed up the locations of two mass shootings earlier this month.
“...The so-called mainstream press ...”
They were clearly bought and paid-for back then, as they are now.
We’ve been subjected to commie democrat subversion for a long time now. They were SOOO close this time, and Trump - and US - shoved it up their asses.
Hence, they’re in infantile rage mode for the last three years.
From what i read there was a round fired through a broze statue with the entry hole being higher and coming from the protester side and the exit hole on the soldiers side being lower.
Someone on top of a building fired a round through it
I’m not sure that the rate of gaffes has really increased. It’s just that now he has opponents in the media who will make note of them.
That could very well be.
What doesn’t get reported doesn’t get known.
If I didn't know history...😀
EXACTLY SO. = The “mainstream press”, AKA: PRAVDA, ISVESTIA, JAPAN TIMES & ADVERTIZER, THE PRAIRIE SHINBUN, DER ANGRIFF & VOLKISCHER BEOBACTER, “American-style”, are little more than wartime propaganda & cannot be TRUSTED to tell the TRUTH on any issue that is more controversial than the football scores.

Just like the song: “Forty dead in Ohio! Forty dead in Ohio!”/s
Tin soldiers and Reagan coming
We’re finally making clones
This summer I hear the subway
Forty dead in Ohio!
Forty dead in Ohio!
.....
Totally OT, has an article been posted about Eddie Money being diagnosed w/ stage 4 cancer? FR Search didn’t turn up anything for me...
Given Biden’s age and political life, it’s incomprehensible to me that he doesn’t have “Four dead in Ohio” indelibly stamped into his brain... Unless, of course, his brain really IS fried.
