'Too long to effectively lead': Internet trolls Joe Biden as he insists on 'remembering' after DoJ report citing poor memory

WASHINGTON, DC: On Monday, February 12, after strongly criticizing special counsel Robert Hur for calling him a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” President Joe Biden attempted to brush off inquiries about his mental capacity.

At a hotel close to the White House, 81-year-old Biden said to a group of county leaders, "I know I don't look like it, but I've been around a while."

Joe Biden takes a jibe at reporters for asking about Hur’s report

Biden criticized reporters for inquiring about Hur's article and its implications for his candidacy for a second term during an unscheduled press conference later.

As Biden argued with reporters and changed Hur's account of him, he said, "I am well-meaning, and I'm an elderly man, and I know what the hell I'm doing."

Karine Jean-Pierre defends Biden’s mental acuity

During her routine briefing on Feb 12, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended Biden's mental sharpness. She said, "He is sharp. He is on top of things".

Hur “is not a medical doctor,” she added.

However, Jean-Pierre did not promise to let presidential physician Dr Kevin O'Connor field questions from reporters following Biden's upcoming yearly physical, which may happen as soon as this month.

According to Jean-Pierre, O'Connor decided it was unnecessary to administer a cognitive test to Biden last year because of the way he performed as president.

Internet trolls President Biden for

Several internet users took a jibe at President Biden as he insisted on remembering things after the scathing DOJ report. A user tweeted, "Since the dinosaurs..." whereas one wrote, "Lol like yea you’ve been around for a while. That’s the point, around too long to effectively lead."

Another user mentioned, "For example; he remembers having lunch with Mandela before the Superbowl this weekend" whereas one added, "A few decades too long…"

A person also commented, "So, in other words, he welcomes his prosecution of illegally holding classified docs?" while one wrote, "Good then they charge him for stealing and sharing classified documents".
