Joe Biden couldn’t have picked a worse time for memory issues.
But in his condition anything can happen.
And Joe Biden suffered this severe cognitive episode that had everyone fearing the worst.
As Black Eye Politics reports:
President Joe Biden made numerous errors during a press conference last Thursday that sent Democrats into a panic.
Special Counsel Robert Hur had released his report on the criminal investigation into Biden’s handling of classified material and found Biden too mentally feeble to be charged.
And yet, while attempting to defend his cognitive abilities in a press conference, Biden confused two foreign presidents and forgot the name of a parish.
The press conference started with Biden responding to Hur’s allegations that he was unable to remember the year his son, Beau Biden, died.
“In addition, I know there’s some attention paid to some language of the report about my recollection of events. There is 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, ‘It wasn’t any of their damn business.’ Let me tell you something. Some of you have commented. I wear, since the day he died every single day, the rosary he got from our Lady of … ” Biden stated before trailing off.
“Every memorial day we hold a service remembering him attended by friends and family and people who loved him. I don’t need anyone to remind me of when he passed away.”
Biden then went on to speak about the Israeli-Hamas war, recalling a conversation he had with the President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi – except he called him the “president of Mexico.”
“I think that, as you know, initially the president of Mexico, Sisi, did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in. I talked to him. I convinced him to open the gate. I talked to BiBi to open the gate on the Israeli side. I’ve been pushing really hard to get humanitarian assistance into Gaza. There are a lot of innocent people starving, a lot of innocent people who are in trouble and dying. It’s got to stop,” Biden stated.
Democrats were horrified and embarrassed with how the press conference went down.
Longtime Democrat strategist and former Clinton White House aide Paul Begala said on CNN about the press conference: “Look, I’m a Biden supporter. And I slept like a baby last night. I woke up every two hours crying and wet the bed.”
