The longstanding concerns about President Joe Biden’s age and memory intensified on Thursday after the release of a special counsel’s report investigating his possession of classified documents.
“He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.”
This one just pisses me off. It’s framed so dishonestly.
I can recall extremely specific things about when people I know died. What the weather was, what I was wearing, what video game I was playing when I heard the news, and so on. But I couldn’t necessarily pull the right year out of my brain without checking. Or necessarily even the date for some people.
I promise that Biden remembers the death of his son in whatever specific way is meaningful to him. It might not be “on this day/month/year.” It might be “on a Tuesday” or might be “a cold snowy day when I was baking bread.” I have no idea. But this just isn’t how memory works, and it’s hurtful, evil even, to print something that dishonest. It boils my blood to read such dishonest reporting.
