Trump Messed Up on Andrew Jackson & The Civil War, But Biden Messed Up on FDR Going on TV During The Great Depression

President Trump deserves all the mockery he can get for claiming that President Andrew Jackson was "really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War" despite the fact he died 17 years before the first shots were fired at Fort Sumter. It is only a matter of time before Ken Burns weighs in.


But the Left shouldn't get so smug. Remember when VP candidate Joe Biden told Katie Couric during the 2008 campaign that FDR went on TV to talk about The Great Depression despite the fact there was no such thing as TV and that Herbert Hoover was in the White House?


Let me refresh your memory.

Somehow I doubt this prevented most on the Left for casting a ballot for Biden in 2008 much less 2012.


The point here is there is plenty of ignorance to go around from out leaders and it does not speak well of our knowledge of basic American history. This is nothing in which anyone, Democrat or Republican, Left or Right, should take any pride in whatsoever.
