Joe Biden zings Fox News reporter who tries to ambush him about his age
February 08, 2024
President Joe Biden gave a brief address and took reporters' questions on Thursday evening, following the release of a report from special counsel Robert Hur on his handling of classified information in his private office and home — and when a Fox News reporter tried to ambush him about the special counsel's remarks on his age and mental acuity, he hit back with a cutting one-liner.
"How is your memory?" asked Peter Doocy.
"My memory is so bad, I let you speak!" the president replied.

Hur's report concluded that no charges were appropriate against Biden, and also outlined clear distinctions between this case and former President Donald Trump's hoarding of highly classified national defense information at Mar-a-Lago, including Trump's clear intent to conceal the documents from investigators and stonewall the National Archives.
But Hur also knocked the president for failing to recall some simple things, alleging that he struggled to remember what years he was vice president — and wrote one other reason charges weren't advisable was that he could put on an act of being a "well-meaning elderly man" who can't recall anything.
Biden dismissed this line speaking with reporters. "I'm well meaning and I'm an elderly man and I know what the hell I'm doing. I put this country back on its feet. I don't need his recommendation."
