In the interview Gore claimed he "took the initiative in creating the
Internet." Gore entered Congress in January 1977, many of the
components of what we now call the Internet existed well before that
time.

Yes. That does not alter the fact that the charge that Gore claimed to
have invented the internet is false.

Gore claimed --perhaps clumsily, and certainly self servingly-- to have
been a leader in the Senate in matters related to internet technology.
Political opponents spun the statement to make it appear that Gore had
delusions of scientific grandeur.
