“How in the hell dare he raise that.” — President Joe Biden, Feb. 8, 2024
In an effort to dismiss the claim that he couldn’t remember the year his son Beau died, President Joe Biden claimed he was simply angered because he was asked about it. Turns out, Biden lied.
“Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself it wasn’t any of their damn business,” Biden said at a hurriedly arranged press conference early in February.
Immediately, the media sprang into action attacking Special Counsel Robert Hur for bringing up Biden’s son.
“Beyond the pale,” they said. “A setup from the start.” “What does that have to do with the retention of classified documents?” “There is no legitimate answer for why he would do that … unless they were trying to trip him up, rattle him, gain oppo.” Etc., etc., etc.
Jill Biden even sent out a fundraising letter attacking Hur. “I can’t imagine someone would try to use our son’s death to score political points.”
Jill, who was not actually Beau’s mother, said that the day Beau Biden died from brain cancer was “forever etched” on her and Joe’s hearts.
But then last week, NBC News, to its undying credit, did something unusual for a mainstream media outlet. It tried to verify Biden’s account. And what did it find?
Biden lied, and Jill compounded the lie.
Hur didn’t bring up Beau, or ask when he died, NBC News reported. It was Biden who brought up his son – as he almost always does whenever he opens his mouth – and it was Biden who then tried to recall the year he died.
Here’s NBC News’ account of what actually happened:
