JOE BIDEN: "You know it reminds me, I remember back in 1973, I came from Pennsylvania and steel and coal were a big deal, particularly steel. I remember making a speech to the United Steel Workers sponsored by US Steel. There were 3,000 people there and I was a young Senator. Come out and I say, 'you know in World War I we made a mistake, and I was being not unusually Biden controversial. And, I said we made a mistake, we bombed the wrong steel mills. And, I went on to point out that there'd been virtually no innovation and improvement in American steel mills and that they were investing more money in pantyhose factories, pantyhose factories, than they were in steel, in, in advances in steel technology."
Joe Biden: In World War III. Obama will bomb
our remaining steel mill...
Crazy Joe learned his WW2 history from watching “Catch-22” where that kind of thing actually happened.
Bad example! Those pantyhose factories produced parachutes during wartime. Also, we produced the world’s highest quality steel. Why destroy and rebuild what works?
There has been a massive investment in steel making in the country. Some of the most, if not the most advanced steel making equipment and factories, is right here in the United States.
Even if you edit out all the brain farts, Joe plugs Biden has zero knowledge of what he is talking about, at least when it comes to steel.
Here I am defending Joe again!
It’s pretty clear he was talking about the immediate post-war decades. For which he is approximately correct.
And what about the 23 types of deodorant!?
Yes the pantyhose was invented in WWI, it was the style at the time
