Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that President Joe Biden’s disastrous press conference last week confirmed Special Counsel Robert Hur’s conclusion that Biden has serious memory issues.
Hur concluded last week in his criminal investigation into Biden’s handling of classified material that Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials,” but that no criminal charges were warranted because prosecutors believe they would not win a conviction against Biden since he will present himself to a jury as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
Biden later decided to hold a press conference, and during the event, he ended up exploding at reporters who pointed out voters’ concerns about his age and declared that he was the most qualified person in America to be president. He also mixed up the presidents of Egypt and Mexico, forgot the name of the church where his deceased son got the rosary that he wears every day, and forgot key details from the special counsel’s report.
Cruz responded to the latest developments on Biden’s fitness for office during his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson by saying that the Department of Justice “accidentally told the truth” about Biden’s mental fitness and now the Biden administration was being forced to deal with “a political emergency.”
“Biden responded by holding a press conference in which his meandering, rambling answers confirmed everything said in the Special Counsel report, including that one point of the elements of the report that demonstrated why his memory was so failing is it said he could not remember when his son had died,” Cruz said. “And when Biden is defending that, he points to some rosary beads that he wore, that were given to him and said ‘were given to me by, were given to me by…’ and then he can’t remember, can’t remember what the details are about the rosary beads. That, to put it mildly, is not a good look, when you’re trying to demonstrate that you have a good enough memory to function if you can’t actually remember your response to that attack.”

There's an old joke that goes, "a gaffe is when a politician accidentally tells the truth."
The DOJ told the truth about Biden's failing mental capacity, & the White House is melting down.
