Arrr, President Biden showed no quarter as he sparred with a crew of reporters after the uncovering of Special Counsel Robert Hur's scrawl, exposin' his "feeble recollections."
In a recent press conference, President Biden responded defiantly to questions from reporters following the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur's report, which raised concerns about his mental acuity. Biden deviated from his usual practice of selecting pre-approved reporters and took questions at random. Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy was the first to catch Biden's attention, asking about the report's mention of Biden as a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." Biden fired back, asserting that he knows what he's doing and doesn't need anyone's recommendation. Doocy pressed further, asking about the extent of Biden's memory problems and his ability to continue as president, to which Biden sarcastically replied that his memory is so bad he allowed Doocy to speak. This interaction is not the first time Biden has clashed with reporters, as he has a history of such incidents.Other reporters, including a Washington Post journalist and a CNN correspondent, also questioned Biden about his age and mental acuity. Biden responded defensively, asserting that concerns about his age and mental acuity were subjective judgments. He insisted that he is the most qualified person for the presidency and pledged to finish the job he started.
During the press conference, Biden also faced questions regarding the sharing of classified information with his ghostwriter. Biden vehemently denied sharing any classified information and insisted that the document in question was not classified. However, the report by Special Counsel Robert Hur contradicts Biden's claim, stating that he did share classified information with his ghostwriter.
The report also revealed that Biden had a "hazy" memory during the interview with the special counsel's office, forgetting key details about his time as vice president and the death of his son Beau. These revelations, combined with Biden's recent gaffes, have fueled concerns among voters about his age and fitness for a second term. Polls have consistently shown that a significant portion of the electorate believes Biden is too old to seek re-election.
