President Joe Bidenās favorite morning show āMorning Joeā host Joe Scarborough on Tuesday attempted to defend him by saying that he would not know the year his mom died if asked during a deposition after the president allegedly forgot the year of his sonās passing.
Biden could not remember the year his son Beau passed away during an interview, according to special counsel Robert Hurās report on the presidentās handling of classified documents. Scarborough insisted this is not a sign of cognitive decline as he and his wife would not know the year their respective parents passed away.
WATCH:
āSupposedly, he didnāt remember what year his son died,ā Scarborough said. āAnd this was the most damning thing. I said this yesterday, and maybe itās just older people, weāve lived a busy and active life, but nobody is closer to me, nobodyās been closer to me in my life than my mom. If somebody asked me in the middle of a deposition, āwhat year did your mom die?ā Iād go, āI donāt know, 2017, 2018, 2019?ā I donāt know. I can tell you everything about it. I can tell you my final words.ā
āBut again, and same thing with Mika and her dad. The fact, first of all, that he was asking that question. Secondly, that, somehow, thatās the most damning thing, and the Trump people are now saying the White House is like an old folksā home. They need to look inside their own glass house,ā he added.
Biden is a big fan of āMorning Joeā and often calls Scarborough to solicit his opinions and express his frustrations about media coverage, Axios reported in early February.
āHe did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died,ā Hur wrote.
Dr. Marc Siegel on Monday sounded the alarm during a Fox Business interview about the presidentās mental condition, saying that Bidenās forgetfulness and rage are signs that his cognitive health has deteriorated and urged his doctors to be more transparent about his condition.
āWeāre not talking about somebodyās grandfather here, weāre talking about the president of the United States,ā Siegel asserted. āAnd one moment of confusion could be all we need for disaster. But that aside, Iād like to see the cognitive assessment over time here, and Iād like to see the MRI⦠Itās time that we stop calling these gaffes. Theyāre not really gaffes⦠theyāre mental lapses and they can be tied into a problem with judgment, and they seem to be.ā
