"History matters and Black history matters. I can’t just choose to learn what we want to know," he explained. "We learn what we should know. We have to learn everything, the good, the bad, the truth and who we are as a nation."

"I may be a White boy, but I'm not stupid," he quipped, prompting both laughter and looks from the crowd. "I know where the power is. You think I’m joking? I learned a long time ago about the Divine Nine."

And I've made it clear to them anything they need is available or — we'll make it available to them."

Making matters worse for Biden, rival Donald Trump came out to Ohio to witness the scene.

"You have a president going to Ukraine and you have people in Ohio who are in desperate need of help," he said. "I was very proud to say I announced I was going to Ohio."
