The longstanding concerns about President Biden's age and memory intensified on Thursday as the nation's figurehead angrily criticized a special counsel's report investigating his possession of classified documents. The report described the 81-year-old Democrat's memory as “hazy,” “fuzzy,” “faulty,” “poor" and having “significant limitations.” It noted that Biden could not recall defining milestones in his own life such as when his son Beau died or when he served as vice president. While Biden will not face charges for mishandling classified documents, the report’s assertions about his memory could undermine Biden’s message to voters that he can lead the country. “My memory is fine,” Biden responded Thursday night from the White House, where he grew visibly angry in denying that he had forgotten when his son, Beau Biden died of brain cancer in 2015 at the age of 46.
the evidence said I did not willfully
retain these documents in addition I
know there's some attention paid to some
language in the report about my
recollection of events there's even
reference that I don't
remember when my son
died how in the hell dare he raise
that frankly when I was asked the
question I thought to myself wasn't any
of their damn business President Biden
something the special counsel said in
his report is that one of the reasons
you were not charged is because in his
description you are a well-meaning
elderly man with a poor memory I'm
well-meaning and I'm an elderly man and
I know what the hell I'm doing I've been
president I put this country back on his
feet I don't need his recommendation
it's totally how bad is your memory and
can you continue as president my memory
is so bad I let you
speak that's that's you know your memory
has gotten worse Mr President memory is
not good my memory is fine Mr President
for months when you were asked about
your age you would respond with the
words watch me many American people have
been watching and they have expressed
concerns about your age that is your
judgment that is your judgment to public
Jud conern they express concerns about
your mental acuity they say that you are
too old Mr President in December you
told me that you believe there are many
other Democrats who could defeat Donald
Trump so why does it have to be you now
why what is your answer I'm most
qualified person in this country to be
president of the United States and
finish the job I
started
