President Joe Biden mixed up two foreign presidents and forgot the name of a parish during a press conference Thursday meant in part to defend his memory.
A late night press conference was called by the White House originally intended to start at 7:45 p.m. However, it was delayed by roughly 10 minutes. Biden addressed reporters on the recent ruling in his classified documents case, which was lead by special counsel Robert Hur. Although Hur declined to seek further charges against the president, Hur’s report had described Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory” during their interviews.
Biden began the press conference by addressing comments made regarding his memory, specifically noting to his eldest son’s death. While Biden mentioned that he keeps a rosary in memory of his son Beau, Biden appeared to forget the church parish it came from, which resulted in silence.
