One of the things in particular that riled up the Biden White House so much about the Hur report was the mention by Special Counsel Robert Hur that President Joe Biden could not remember the year his eldest son, Beau Biden, tragically passed away.
"He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died," Hur wrote in the report.
The response by Joe Biden, as we previously reported, was to throw a temper tantrum during the impromptu press conference he held just a few hours after the report's release
"There's even reference that I don't remember when my son died," Biden stated. "How the hell dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn't any of their damn business."

His apologists on the left and in the mainstream media agreed, with ABC News Washington correspondent Jon Karl asking panelists on Sunday's "This Week" program, "how does him allegedly not knowing the year his son died, how is that relevant?"
First Lady Jill Biden participated in the smear campaign against Hur as well, fundraising off of the reference to Beau Biden in the report.
"I hope you can imagine how it felt to read that attack -- not just as Joe's wife, but as Beau's mother," she wrote.
In an update to this story and in news that will surprise absolutely no one, it has been revealed that it in fact was not Robert Hur who "raised" the issue of Beau Biden's death.
It was Joe Biden himself:
But Hur never asked that question, according to two people familiar with Hur’s five-hour interview with the president over two days last October. It was the president, not Hur or his team, who first introduced Beau Biden’s death, they said.
Biden raised his son’s death after being asked about his workflow at a Virginia rental home from 2016 to 2018, the sources said, when a ghost writer was helping him write a memoir about losing Beau to brain cancer in 2015. Investigators had a 2017 recording showing that Biden had told the ghost writer he had found “classified stuff” in that home, the report says.
Biden began trying to recall that period by discussing what else was happening in his life, and it was at that point in the interview that he appeared confused about when Beau had died, the sources said. Biden got the date—May 30—correct, but not the year.
In other words, for the last near-week, we've been subjected to repeated tellings from The Usual Suspects about how it was not in Hur's purview to "ask" about Beau Biden's death, only to find out he never did.
We've written before about how Biden will bring up his son's death in order to try and show that he can "relate" to other families who have lost loved ones. But when he does tell the story he often lies about the circumstances, which is despicable and lends credence to the allegations that he is fudging the details for political gain.
But this is a new low for Biden, using his son's death in part to avoid having to account for, in an election year, the memory problems Hur noted in his report.
There's only one other reason Biden would make the false claim about Hur "raising" the issue, as explained by Townhall managing editor Spencer Brown:
So, Biden pretended to be indignant that the special counsel included a topic that Biden himself raised in his interview with the special counsel. Either that or he also forgot that he brought the subject of his son's death up in the conversation.
Regardless of the reason, it's a terrible look, and between that and the administration's reactions to the Beau Biden reference, it's just further proof that there is no low to which Team Biden will not stoop to drag him over the finish line one more time.
People with dementia often become very angry or enraged and lash out when confronted with something they know they should know but they can’t remember.
I’d seen it enough with my m-i-l when she was deteriorating and have heard it’s very common.
Put this story away.
It is intended to defeat Trump via replacement.
And apparently, a coward's son dies a thousand times after his death.
Good one, Churchill.
BTTT
Yes...and the anger is showing. My mom went through those spells.
It seems like in all his appearances lately he’s been angry and yelling about something.
He is definitely losing it.
May God remove him from the political scene before the elections. I don’t know how that could work out for us, but it would at least throw the democrats for a loop. Unless they actually have contingency plans we don’t know about.
But their actions, their desperation at keeping Trump off the ballot, for example, show they are running scared. If they were that confident of the win, they would not be trying to hard to get Trump somehow.
That gives them another edge...a sympathy vote. It’s more likely than not to be Newsome filling in...typical Dem pretty boy...and the target is the women’s vote.
Biden resurrects Beau at the drop of a hat———as a political strategy, even to changing his voice into a desolate mourn (see the 2020 debate). But then Biden despicably lies about the death’s circumstances, and gives credence to allegations that he is posing, fudging the details for political gain.
The Hur incident is a new low for shameless Biden, using his son’s death to fake a memory problem to evade more serious charges.
There’s only one other reason Biden would make the false claim about Hur “raising” the issue, as explained by Townhall managing editor Spencer Brown: “So, Biden pretended to be indignant that the special counsel included a topic that Biden himself raised in his interview. Either that or he also conveniently “forgot” that he brought the subject of his son’s death up in the conversation.”
Regardless, it’s terrible optics, and between that and Biden’s ill-tempered reactions to the death reference, it’s further proof that there is no low to which Team Biden will not stoop to drag him over the finish line one more time........even having Jill fund-raise on the subterfuge.
Another reason he can’t remember is because he’s told so many people his son died in so many different places.
Yup. Serial liars have to have a phenomenal memory to keep all their lies straight.
.
Joe a liar and deceiver. Say it ain’t so! /s
I bet he doesn’t even remember how his baby daughter died. He ever mentions her.
First Lady Jill Biden participated in the smear campaign against Hur as well, fundraising off of the reference to Beau Biden in the report.
“I hope you can imagine how it felt to read that attack — not just as Joe’s wife, but as Beau’s mother,” she wrote.
= = =
This is rich.
Beau’s mother is hurt by this ‘attack’.
Time for the media (LOL, okay. The alternate media?) to put together a montage of Biden using the deaths of family members over all the years and years and years.
Talk about “pimping your kids”. He is really disgusting.
The way he has uses/used deaths of those close to him to gain advantage whenever he gets in a tough spot.
Might give one a perspective on how Hunter Biden is such a damaged person.
And how the Biden family is sort of like ... mmmm .... the Clintons?
