JRE MMA Show #151 — Bo Nickal · Aired Dec 21, 2023
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Joe treated Biden’s Revolutionary War airports remark as Biden making a historical mistake.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Biden was referring to Donald Trump’s 2019 speech, which included the airports line. Jamie explained that context later in the same JRE episode, and Joe acknowledged the correction. This does not mean Biden never said the words, or that Joe believed the Revolutionary War had airports.
