White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates complained about recent media reports about President Biden’s mental health after Special Counsel Robert Hur criticized the president’s memory as “poor.”
Mr. Bates criticized Mr. X on Thursday to criticize journalists who have recently appeared to have become more skeptical about Mr. Biden’s age and cognitive abilities in the wake of the Hur report.
Mr. Xu declined to indict Mr. Biden for mishandling classified documents, saying Mr. Biden’s “poor memory” could deter a jury from convicting him. The document shocked Washington, D.C. and the media, with prominent outlets reporting Biden’s cognitive abilities in an ever more skeptical light.
Meanwhile, Democrats and Biden’s defenders within his own administration argue that Biden is fine and that any evidence to the contrary is “right-wing propaganda.”

Bates slammed the news media, saying their own “collective memory problems” prevented them from remembering Biden’s strong qualities or past “right-wing era attacks.”
The deputy press secretary said this while sharing an I’ve been avoiding it,” he said. “Agility and acuity felt like it was frivolous and irrelevant. Now the Hur report has sparked some kind of soul-searching.”
Correspond news articles Byers detailed how “members of the White House press corps, including reporters, on-air correspondents, and photographers” noticed after Herr’s report that “Mr. Biden’s age-related symptoms had become more pronounced in recent months. “It is becoming more prominent and a topic frequently discussed in forums.” This is the desk behind the Brady briefing room. ”
Byers said that while the topic of Biden’s age had existed before Heo’s bombshell, it was “not reflected” in the press, adding, “In many cases, there was a sense that it was sensitive and unseemly. It was the cause.”
He continued, “Her coverage clearly gave the press corps greater license to report on this issue. Similarly, the Monica Lewinsky scandal gave the White House press corps greater license to talk about their frivolous behavior. “I witnessed Bill Clinton’s attitude toward some women, but he never felt like they had the freedom to write about them on the page,” one journalist pointed out. ”
Biden says he doesn’t remember his son Beau’s death when he was vice president during interviews with special counsel.

“In any case, Mr. Biden’s age is now an issue, an enduring issue, and a challenge for his administration and campaign,” the reporter added.
Bates disputed this reality, arguing that scrutiny of Biden’s age and memory has been going on for years and is old news.

I can’t remember a single Biden victory.” I can’t remember that the right-wing era attacks they treat as new are…old. ”
