A bronzed Joe Biden made a bizarre claim about inventing a computer chip during his make-or-break interview Friday.
Biden, 81, would repeatedly respond to questions in a raspy, weary voice, often losing track mid-sentence and at times ignoring questions in an attempt to make occasionally outlandish claims about his record.
The president at one point told George Stephanopoulos that 'we used to have 40 percent of computer chips. We invented the chip, the little chip, the computer chip. It's in everything from cell phone to weapons.'
The first microchip was invented by Texas engineer Jack Kilby in 1958. Biden may have been referring to his administration's efforts to bring chip production back to the US after COVID-related supply chain shortages.
But his debate fiasco and subsequent flubs mean critics within his own party are waiting to pounce on any unspecific ramblings as evidence of Biden's unsuitability to run - including a claim made yesterday that he is a black woman.
Biden also rejected taking an independent medical evaluation that would show voters he is up for serving another term in office.
'Look, I have a cognitive test every single day,' Biden said, referring to the tasks he faces daily in a rigorous job. 'Every day, I´ve had tests. Everything I do.'
