Joe Biden hasn’t been fit for office for years. Everyone knows it for a fact.
And now Jill Biden’s leaked emails about Joe plunged the White House into chaos.
First Lady Jill Biden slammed special counsel Robert Hur for his d*mning report, which raised troubling doubts about her husband’s advanced age and mental acuity.
While Hur exonerated President Biden of any charges stemming from sensitive materials discovered at his Delaware home, he also identified numerous instances of the commander-in-chief’s forgetfulness, describing him as a “well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.”
During an extensive interview with prosecutors, his 388-page report claimed that the president couldn’t recall the exact or even approximate date when his late son Beau Biden died, let alone when his vice presidency ended.
“I hope you can imagine how it felt to read that attack — not just as Joe’s wife, but as Beau’s mother,” Jill Biden bemoaned in an email to her backers over the weekend.
“I don’t know what this Special Counsel was trying to achieve. We should give everyone grace, and I can’t imagine someone would try to use our son’s death to score political points.”
His report stated that Biden “did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.” Beau Biden died of brain cancer in 2015, and the president has publicly described his sadness at the time.
“If you’ve experienced a loss like that, you know that you don’t measure it in years — you measure it in grief. May 30th is a day forever etched on our hearts. It shattered me, it shattered our family,” Jill Biden rebutted.
“How the h*ll dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself it wasn’t any of their d*mned business,” President Biden fumed in an animated press conference last Thursday.
At 81, Biden is already the oldest president in U.S. history.
If Biden wins and serves a second hypothetical term in office, he will be 86 years old at the end.
Hur’s critical report fueled suspicion about his age, even as he appears prepared to face battle against Donald Trump, who is only three and a half years younger.
The special counsel claimed that Biden “did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (‘if it was 2013 — when did I stop being Vice President?’), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (‘in 2009, am I still Vice President?’)”
White House officials have scoffed at and questioned several of Hur’s allegations, arguing that they were irrelevant to his probe in the first place.
During a heated press conference, Biden mistakenly referred to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as the “president of Mexico.”
Republicans jumped on the discovery, with some, such as Rep. Claudia Tenney, advocating that the cabinet invoke the 25th Amendment and remove him from office on the grounds that he lacked the ability to serve.
The 25th Amendment authorizes the removal of a president in the event of incapacitation in some form.
Whether Republicans can garner enough votes is another question. In the polarized climate, it would likely go along party lines and keep Biden in office.
