Joe Biden angrily denied that he has memory problems as he blasted a special counsel for referencing his mental acuity in a report that was released earlier today.
Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded that Biden should not be charged over his retention of classified documents, but in his report he made repeated references to the president’s cognitive ability.
“I know there’s some attention paid to language in the report about my recollection of events,” Biden said in remarks in the Diplomatic Room tonight. “There’s even referenced that I don’t even remember when my son died. How in the hell dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked the question I thought to myself it wasn’t any of their damn business.”
Biden added, “Some of you have commented. I wear since the day he died every single day, the rosary he got from Our Lady of …”
The president then appeared to be choking up. “Every Memorial Day we hold a service for him attended by friends and family and the people who love him. I don’t need anyone, I don’t need anyone to remind me of when he passed away.”
Biden later pushed back at a reporter who asked him whether he thought his memory had gotten worse.
“My memory is fine. Take a look at what I have done since I became president. Nobody thought I could pass any of the things that I got passed. How did that happen? You know, I guess I just forgot what was going on.”
