President Joe Biden responded forcefully Thursday night to claims about his “poor memory” leveled by Special Counsel Robert Hur, who cleared the commander-in-chief Thursday after an investigation into his handling of classified documents—but landed several parting shots calling into question Biden’s mental capacity.
In the report, which some conservatives have already had a field day with, Hur wrote that Biden “did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.”
During live remarks from the White House just hours later, Biden took particular umbrage at that passage.
