During a surprise speech at the White House this Thursday, February 8, Joe Biden responded to the release of a damning investigative report into his handling of classified documents.
Joe Biden reacted to the publication of a 388-page report this Thursday, February 8, in which a prosecutor recommended not to prosecute the American president after the discovery of documents classified as confidential. But the document points to “an old man with a weak memory”.
From the White House, Joe Biden responded to the criticism. “I don’t have a memory problem,” he said.
“I mean, I’m an old man and I know what I’m doing. I don’t have any memory problems,” he asserted, adding that the report claimed he had forgotten the date of death. His son Beau. “How dare he?”, he said.
New error after five minutes
The speech by the White House tenant was not planned in his agenda. The press was notified by press release minutes before Joe Biden spoke.
But it could not prove beneficial for the American President. Because five minutes after defending himself, Joe Biden made another mistake.
“As you know, at the beginning, the president of Mexico, Sisi, did not want to open the door to allow humanitarian aid to enter,” he said, referring to the Rafah border crossing, which separates Egypt from Gaza.
However, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi is not the president of Mexico but the president of Egypt.
According to polls, Joe Biden’s age, used to gaffes or vague comments, is a major concern among voters. Opinion polls show that this is less the case for Donald Trump, 77 years old and a presidential candidate in November.
But the former Republican president also has his moments of confusion. In January, in a speech, he confused his opponent for the Republican nomination, Nikki Haley, with former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Democrat Nancy Pelosi.
