Questions about presidential hopeful Joe Biden’s mental health are swirling as videos of him appearing to be confused or forgetting information are spreading on social media.
But, the Biden campaign says questions about his mental health are not fair game and suggested that they are being weaponized by his opponents to hurt him politically.
During an appearance on Fox News on Wednesday, Biden campaign Communications Director Kate Bedingfield said questions about the former vice president’s mental health are smears.
“This is a disgusting smear tactic and this kind of thing is exactly why people want Joe Biden to be president. This kind of false, you know, misleading, basically a conspiracy theory.”
Watch the video below:
Co-host Ed Henry jumped in to ask how they can be called a “smear tactic” when there are unedited videos of Biden stumbling over words. Bedingfield asked, “Respectfully, how many times have you struggled to complete a sentence on air?”
“I’m not running for president,” Henry responded.
Bedingfield suggested that President Donald Trump has been trying to raise questions about Biden’s mental acuity because he is “scared” about the general election.
