Biden Camp Circles Wagons After Special Counsel Report Called Him ‘Elderly Man With A Poor Memory’
Allies of President Joe Biden insisted over the weekend that he is “on his game” after a special counsel report released Thursday described him as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
Special counsel Robert Hur’s report assessing whether Biden mishandled classified documents in the past referenced Biden’s lapses in memory and his advanced age, and the president mixed up the leaders of Mexico and Egypt in his Thursday night remarks addressing the report’s findings. Several Biden allies appeared on Sunday morning news programming and stated that his mental faculties are not in decline amid the renewed scrutiny of his cognitive state.

A national poll from NBC News released on Feb. 6, before the Hur report came out or Biden’s subsequent press conference, showed that about 75% of voters, including approximately 50% of Democrats, have concerns about Biden’s physical and mental fitness for a second term in office.
Hur’s report “made a conclusion that there is no case, case closed, then made gratuitous, unnecessary, and inaccurate personal remarks and those are improper,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Director Alejandro Mayorkas told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden is preparing for it because he is sharp, intensely probing, and detail-oriented and focused.”
The report describes instances in which Biden was unsure of when he was vice president, did not remember significant details from the internal Obama administration debate about the 2009 Afghanistan troop surge that he opposed, and forgot the year his son Beau passed away. It also chronicles Biden’s “painfully slow” taped conversations with a researcher helping him with his memoir before running for president, stating that Biden “[struggled] to remember events and straining at times to read and relay his own notebook entries.” (Read more from “Biden Camp Circles Wagons After Special Counsel Report Called Him ‘Elderly Man With A Poor Memory'” HERE)
