A new book about Hunter Bidenās infamous laptop includes a story about the younger Biden joking about his fatherās diminished mental abilities.
Miranda Devineās book āLaptop from Hell: Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hideā came out on Tuesday, Fox News reported.
According to the book, Hunter Biden joked about his dad having dementia in text messages with his therapist just before the launch of Joe Bidenās presidential campaign in 2019.
As they were discussing Democratic presidential candidates, Hunterās therapist Keith Ablow said, āYour dad is the answer.ā
āAny man who can triumph over dementia is a giant,ā Ablow mockingly said. āThink what he could do for our nationās needed recovery.ā
āYouāre such an a**hole but that made me laugh out loud,ā Hunter responded.
āPerhaps he can help us remember all we intended to be as a people since he can now remember his address,ā Ablow went on.
Hunter replied that his dad ādoesnāt need to where he livesā because āthatās the only thing the secret service get right at least 75% of the time.ā
Since this alleged exchange, Ablow has had his license revoked after an investigation into his practice determined that it was a threat to public āhealth, safety and welfare,ā The New York Times reported.
The series of jokes between Hunter and Ablow about the presidentās mental acuity adds to already existing concerns.
In June 2020, during Bidenās campaign, nearly 40 percent of likely voters believed he had dementia, Rasmussen reported. That included 20 percent of Democrats.
Fox Newsā Brit Hume publicly questioned Bidenās mental capacity multiple times during his campaign. āI donāt think thereās any doubt Bidenās senile,ā he said in September 2020.
Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician, has also voicedconcerns about Bidenās mental state.
āAll I know is that heās got age-related cognitive decline, right? Heās not mentally fit right now. Heās 78 years old and you can see it,ā he said last month.
Many have called for Biden to undergo cognitive testing, including former Rep. Greg Ganske. In an August Op-Ed for the Des Moines Register entitled āJoe Biden isnāt the person I knew in Congress,ā Ganske noted the change he has seen in Biden.
āIt pains me greatly to see a decline in President Biden, and it worries me,ā he wrote.
Ganske pointed out that he wasnāt the only one who noticed Bidenās deterioration. Mike McCormick, who worked with Biden in the White House from 2011 to 2017, sounded the alarm in 2020.
āIt is a complete difference from what he was in 2017. Heās lost a step and he doesnāt seem to have the same mental acuity as he did four years ago,ā McCormick said, according to Fox News. āHe doesnāt have the energy, he doesnāt have the pace of his speaking. ⦠Heās a different guy.ā
In light of these concerns, jokes from Hunter Biden about his dadās cognitive decline are a bit more than trivial.
They may just be jokes, but Hunter has done his father no favors by adding to the already widespread doubts about his ability to serve as president.
