MAGA Reacts as Biden’s Mental Fitness Challenged by His Own DOJ in Report

MAGA Pounces as Biden’s Own DOJ Questions His Mental Fitness in Report

A report from the Department of Justice’s special counsel has sparked concerns regarding President Joe Biden’s mental sharpness, although it ultimately decided against prosecuting him for mishandling classified documents.

Special Counsel Robert Hur’s findings elicited a strong reaction from the president, who later addressed the nation, acknowledging the report’s implications that, at 81, he may be too old for a second term.

“I know what I’m doing,” Biden asserted on television, as his Republican adversaries seized upon Hur’s portrayal of him as a forgetful elder, unable to recall significant events such as his son’s passing or his tenure as vice president.

“In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden’s memory was worse. He 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?’),” stated the report. “He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died. And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him.”

Hur’s report on the classified documents found at Biden’s residences in Delaware and Washington, D.C., was released recently. When news of the documents emerged in January 2023, Biden expressed surprise, cooperating with the investigation. Due to this cooperation and the perceived difficulty in securing a conviction, Hur opted not to pursue criminal charges against the president.

“Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Hur wrote.

Biden, in a statement, expressed satisfaction that no charges were filed against him, emphasizing his cooperation and dedication to protecting national security throughout his public service career.

However, a letter circulating online addressed to Hur and Deputy Special Counsel Krickbaum from the White House criticized the report’s treatment of Biden’s memory as inaccurate and inappropriate.

Age and cognitive ability have become focal points in the current election cycle, particularly as both Trump, the GOP frontrunner at 77, and Biden, the Democratic incumbent at 81, face scrutiny for their verbal slips during speeches.

Republican lawmakers aligned with former President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement swiftly questioned Biden’s mental acuity following the report’s release.

“If Joe Biden is not mentally fit to stand trial, then he certainly isn’t mentally fit to be President of the United States,” remarked Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.

The Republican discourse echoed sentiments expressed by Representative Lance Gooden of Texas and Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, who highlighted what they perceive as a double standard in justice and Biden’s alleged unfitness for office.

House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik of New York underscored excerpts from Hur’s report, suggesting Biden’s incapacity for office.

During his subsequent remarks, Biden refuted suggestions of declining memory and emotional moments that surfaced when discussing his late son.

However, critics were quick to highlight instances such as Biden’s apparent confusion between Mexico and Egypt during a news conference.

“In the press conference where he was trying to convince people that his mental faculties are ok, Biden mixed up Mexico and Egypt,” noted Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks. “This is getting embarrassing.”
