House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told an audience in Washington, D.C., on Thursday that Apple’s iconic iPhone was “invented” by the federal government instead of entrepreneur Steve Jobs.

“Anybody here have a smartphone?” the California Democrat asked attendees at a hearing on the Democratic National Convention platform. “In this smartphone, almost everything came from federal investments in research. […] They say Steve Jobs did a good idea designing it and putting it together. Federal research invented it.”
