Biden’s defense: “I was so determined to give the special counsel what they needed that I went forward with five hours of in-person interviews over two days on October 8th and 9th of last year, even though Israel had just been attacked on October 7th and I was in the middle of handling an international crisis,” countered Biden in a statement.

He then convened a press conference to respond to the report, saying Hur made “extraneous commentary” about his mental fitness and that the report’s authors “don’t know what they’re talking about.”

Of course, during those same remarks, Biden mixed up the countries of Mexico and Egypt, seemingly proving Hur’s point.

We all lose: Takes abound with how Biden’s age and Donald Trump’s many indictments will play for voters, but one thing is certain: Stunning percentages of American voters are unenthused by the options before them, and for good reason.
