Biden says he 'spoke to' man who 'invented' insulin, who died before president was born

President Joe Biden told a room full of supporters in Hallandale Beach, Florida, on Tuesday that he spoke with the man who "invented" insulin, who said it was never patented because it was supposed to be available to everyone.

The president was giving a speech to gain support for the Democratic Party going into the midterms.

One of those benefits is capping the cost of insulin at $35, and the reason, Biden said, is because the diabetes treatment was meant to be available for everyone.

"How many of you know somebody with diabetes, and needs insulin," Biden asked the crowd. "Do you know how much it costs to make that insulin drug for diabetes? … It was invented by a man who did not patent it because he wanted it available for everyone. I spoke to him, OK?"

However, insulin, a hormone produced in the body, was never invented, but was discovered by Frederick Banting.

The late physician and scientist died at the age of 49 on Feb. 20, 1941.

Biden was born on Nov. 20, 1942.

He must’ve meant he talked to Joe Manchin/Munchkin’s family who control the price of epipens.

BTW, somebody else can post it, but Real Clear Politics just bumped up projections from R 53 seat to R 54.

He shakes hands with the invisible man, wanders off talking to himself (or somebody else and now he has an imaginary friend who invented insulin. See, it’s not that far fetched. He gets these super powers from sniffing girls hair. That’s the secret.

Brandon talked to God? If so, he sure didn’t listen to what God said.

Not to defend Brandon but the discovery of Insulin is credited to more than just Sir Frederick Banting. His colleague Charles Best who was American lived until 1978 so Brandon could be telling the truth somehow here. Two others also got some credit for the discovery which happened in Toronto back in the early 1920s. One of the greatest medical discovery/breakthroughs in history. Literally saving the lives of millions around the world.

In 1953 Sir Edmund Hillary climbed Mt.Everest.
On October 26, 1947 Hillary Clinton was born.
“I was named after Sir Edmund Hillary....”— Hillary Clinton


To hear Hillary Clinton tell it, she was named for Sir Edmund Hillary, the conqueror of Mount Everest — even though she was already 6 years old when he made his famous ascent.
New York Post, Hillary Clinton’s million little lies
By Michael Walsh
November 28, 2015.

Politifact

McConnell said that Clinton “lied about her emails, she lied about her server, she lied about Benghazi, she lied about sniper fire — why she even lied about why her parents named her Hillary.

“Within a few years, though, the story attracted some attention on the Internet when someone realized a key discrepancy — the mountain climber achieved worldwide fame six years after Clinton was born.

Eventually, in October 2006, a Clinton spokeswoman walked the story back.

“It was a sweet family story her mother shared to inspire greatness in her daughter, to great results I might add,’’ said spokeswoman Jennifer Hanley, according to the New York Times.

Perhaps the scariest aspect of his anachronisms and whopper lies is that a good portion of the population, systematically dumbed down for a half a century, listen and believe him.

Biden is like Hillary. They say outrageous lies and never think they will get fact checked. Or they just don’t care.

Did he tell them the story of Beau Biden dying in the rescue of Frederick Banting from the Russian forces led by Sir Edmond Hillary in Ukraine? Great story of valor, self sacrifice and just 10% making its way back safe to President Potato Head.
