[QUOTE="Sportello, post: 4682599, member: 55299"] Misleading. The purpose of the Biden Cancer Initiative was not to spend money on research. Why would they spend on something that they explicitly said they wouldn't do? I rarely bother to fact check all of the crazy lies on here, but this is terribly misleading.
