Joe Biden, who claims he wants to fact-check Donald Trump in real time during the presidential debates, told a real whopper on Thursday during his visit to Kenosha.
“People fear that’s, which, that which is different. We gotta, for example, why in God’s name don’t we teach history in history classes? A black man invented the light bulb, not a white guy named Edison.”(He leaned down and said this directly in front of a Black person).
Fact check: False.
Make no mistake about it, Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. Joe Biden presumably was referring to Lewis H. Latimer, a former slave who worked as a researcher under Edison, who, three years after Edison patented the incandescent light bulb, patented a more efficient way of manufacturing carbon filaments, which were used in Edison’s bulb design. Fake internet rumors have been circulating for some time now suggesting that Latimer is the actual inventor of the light bulb and even the telephone.
Apparently, fake internet rumors are where Joe Biden gets his history lessons.

This may seem insignificant but it serves a purpose, the same way Joe keeps lying about what Trump didn't say in Charlottsville. I've written about The Big Lie before. It works on those who want to believe anything.
