Joe Biden Fails To Quote by JFK

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: “Particularly young people, as you said, inspired by the activism of Greta and so many, so many young Americans as well who are leading on climate.

You know, JFK said — he said he refused to postpone.

You know, that one line in his speech we all had to learn when we were kids about going on the Moon, and he talked about, you know, the one thing, the line that meant the most to me and used to drive my colleagues crazy was his phrase

‘I refuse’ — ‘we’re doing this because we refuse to postpone.’ Well, we should say as a nation, I refuse to postpone. As president, I refuse to postpone taking immediate action.”

What JFK actually said was:

“We choose to go to the Moon,” Kennedy said.

“We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.”
