President Biden has angrily criticised a special counsel report on classified documents which questioned his memory and ability to recall dates and events.
The US leader held a surprise news briefing at the White House, telling reporters: “My memory is fine.”
Special Counsel Robert Hur found that Mr Biden had mishandled classified documents but would not be charged.
The report made several scathing remarks, including suggesting his memory had “significant limitations”.
Yeah, the problem is the Democrats have gone with him as a candidate knowing that this was a critical weakness and point of attack. Hilary Clinton was a bad candidate; Joe Biden is a bad candidate. The Democrat leadership is bad at selecting election winners.
They needed a proper open primary to select a good candidate. Obama was a great candidate, and he won the primaries in a year where the Democrat leadership had decided it was “Clinton’s turn”.
The republican party leadership is also bad at selecting election winners. Trump is trash but he does have popular support on the Republican side.
Biden is running as the “least bad” option, but with major question marks over his mental fortitude. A young candidate would mean Trump’s mental fortitude would be the real issue, but he’s getting away with being crazy and showing signs of dementia because attacking Biden’s mental state is a good distraction. Total own goal on the Democrat side. It’s not too late for Biden to step down for the good of the country and the party, but it’s getting to be if the democrat primaries advance much further.
