During the most recent episode of his podcast Verdict, host Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) reacted to President Joe Biden’s disastrous presser in the wake of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s damning report on Biden’s mishandling of classified docs. Hur called Biden “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
During Biden’s presser, he confused 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 more.
“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.”
A handful of lawmakers are now encouraging Merrick Garland to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Joe Biden from office — including New York Rep. Claudia Tenney.
“President Biden needs to be charged, or he needs to be removed. There is no middle ground,” Tenney wrote. She added that it was “incumbent” upon Garland to begin proceedings to remove Biden using the 25th Amendment.

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.
