President Joe Biden’s temper was on full display during his press conference on Thursday as he took aim at Special Counsel Robert Hur for his remarks about the president’s memory. In a recent report, Hur claimed that Biden’s cognitive decline has impacted his ability to remember important events, including the death of his son Beau. This assessment was used as a justification for not prosecuting Biden for retaining classified documents.

Hur’s report provides several examples of Biden’s limited memory, highlighting the fact that he couldn’t even recall when his son Beau passed away. This particular detail seemed to strike a nerve with the president, who angrily responded, “How the hell dare he!” Biden went on to express his frustration that such a personal and painful moment in his life was being used against him, stating that he didn’t need anyone to remind him of his son’s death.
It’s not surprising to see Biden become defensive when his mental capabilities are called into question. This is not the first time that concerns have been raised about his memory and cognitive decline. While it’s understandable that the president would want to defend himself, his angry outburst only serves to reinforce the concerns that many Americans have about his fitness for office.
