Biden has been tucked away God knows where. But now he’s telling all.
And Joe Biden broke his silence to issue a direct and violent threat.
Dodging Serious Questions with Jokes
At a Memorial Day event in Delaware, Joe Biden sarcastically addressed accusations of cognitive decline raised in the book “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” released May 20, 2025, by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson.
“You can see that I’m mentally incompetent, I can’t walk,” Biden quipped to reporters, adding, “And I could beat the hell out of both of them,” seemingly targeting the authors.
The book alleges Biden struggled to form coherent sentences for campaign ads, relied on heavily scripted cabinet meetings, and that his team orchestrated a cover-up to conceal his deteriorating mental faculties.
These claims are bolstered by leaked audio from an October 2023 interview with former Special Counsel Robert Hur, where Biden slurred words and appeared to forget the year his son died, raising further doubts about his competence.
Biden’s Team Defends a Questionable Record
Biden’s camp has scrambled to counter the damaging narrative laid out in “Original Sin.” A spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “There is nothing in this book that shows Joe Biden failed to do his job, as the authors have alleged, nor did they prove their allegation that there was a cover up or conspiracy.”
They added, “Nowhere do they show that our national security was threatened or where the President wasn’t otherwise engaged in the important matters of the Presidency. In fact, Joe Biden was an effective President who led our country with empathy and skill.”
However, these defenses ring hollow against mounting evidence from multiple books this year detailing Biden’s mental struggles, which critics argue compromised his leadership and endangered national interests during his presidency.
Health Concerns Overshadow Memorial Day Tribute
Biden’s appearance at the Delaware Commission of Veteran Affairs’ Memorial Day event was meant to honor fallen service members, but his health and past performance took center stage. He revealed on May 18, 2025, an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, stating, “My expectation is we’re going to be able to beat this,” while undergoing treatment with a pill.
During the event, he said, “We come together and remember the debt we owe to the American military,” and noted, “The military is a solid spine, the spine of our nation. Our troops, our veterans, our military families, and our Gold Star families in particular. Only around 1% of all Americans defend 99% of us — 1%. Just 1% of Americans risk the ultimate sacrifice. We owe them so much more than we can ever repay them.”
Yet, the gravity of his tribute was overshadowed by ongoing questions about his mental and physical capacity, fueled by reports that his administration may have hidden the extent of his decline.
Biden’s attempt to deflect serious allegations with humor and his team’s defensive posture do little to quell concerns about his mental fitness, casting a shadow over his Memorial Day tribute and raising questions about his legacy as president.
