President Joe Biden made several gaffes while stumping for Democrats in Hallandale Beach, Florida, on Nov. 1, including making the claim that he had met the man who “invented” insulin.

“How many of you know somebody with diabetes and needs insulin?” Biden asked the room full of supporters. “Do you know how much it costs to make that insulin drug for diabetes? … It was invented by a man who did not patent it because he wanted it available for everyone. I spoke to him, OK?”
