We saw Joe Biden have a meltdown Thursday night during a national address/presser. He yelled at reporters and denied he had shared classified documents, despite the report explicitly saying he did. He also confused world leaders and conflicts (again). It was a huge disaster.
There’s now also an interesting Washington Post story that says Joe Biden threw a private tantrum before other Democrats after the release of the report.
Privately, Biden was also furious about the report’s comments on his memory. During a private meeting with House Democrats at their policy retreat in Virginia earlier Thursday, Biden grew especially animated when asked how he was doing.
“How the f— could I forget the day my son died? Of course I remember everything,” he said, according two people with knowledge of his remarks who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a closed-door conversation.
But the problem is Biden did, according to the report. He didn’t even remember when he was Vice President. Does he want us to think that Hur just made all that up? Hur has to have a record of the interview. So everything Biden is claiming now is likely to be exposed as malarkey at a later date. So whoever told him to take this tack wasn’t thinking long-term and how this could sink him at a later date, particularly if the House Oversight Committee goes after that record for the impeachment inquiry or people try to get it for a 25th Amendment case.
