Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre the question on everyone's mind — how can the nuclear laws be entrusted to President Joe Biden, whose mind is too weak to be tried for “willful” mishandling of classified documents. ?
Special Counsel Robert Hoare, as most readers know by now, issued a scathing report on Biden's mishandling of classified documents, which included insight into how they could not pursue charges because the president's defense would portray him as “a well-meaning old man with a failing memory.”
Some of the issues highlighted in the report include assertions that Biden “did not remember when he was Vice President” or “when his son Beau died,” and showed “diminished abilities” and “significant limitations” during his interview with the special counsel.
During a press conference before the weekend, Doocy confronted Jean-Pierre about the issue.
He added: “If the special counsel says that President Biden suffers from ‘significant limitations’ in his memory, who will help him run the country?” Asked.
Ducey: “If the special counsel says President Biden has significant memory limitations, who is helping him run the country?”

Can Biden be trusted on nuclear laws?
As is the case with Jean-Pierre, she responded to Ducey's question with a vague remark that had no basis in reality.
“The President of the United States runs the country. The Commander in Chief runs the country,” she claimed without evidence.
Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) helpfully answered the question of who runs the country in a short conversation with The Policy Insider.
“Obama and his staff are in D.C. running the country,” she told TPI. “Everything is sabotaged by dark money.”
“How can he (Biden) be trusted on nuclear laws if – I understand you're saying that no one in the building is going to say he has a problem with his memory,” Ducey asked.
The Fox News correspondent pointed out that the special investigator's report does not come out of nowhere. It was released in the same week that President Biden claimed to have spoken to two world leaders in 2021 despite their deaths many years earlier, referred to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as “the president of Mexico,” and said he represented red and “green” countries. .
“Just the small part of what we've seen is that he's made mistake after mistake after mistake on camera this week,” Ducey said.
Once again, Jean-Pierre veered off with a ridiculous assessment.
“So, I’m going to be very clear here,” she responded. “The truth is that this report – that part of the report does not match reality. “This is not happening.”
It seems that Jean-Pierre and Biden are the ones who are not living reality.

Democrats asked Biden to give up sole authority to launch nuclear weapons in 2021
It turns out Ducey isn't the only one wondering whether President Biden should be tasked with nuclear laws.
House Democrats, in a 2021 letter to the president, asked Biden to give up sole control of the country's nuclear arsenal and the ability to launch a strike using those weapons.
Of course, the reality of this request is that Democrats were more concerned about former President Donald Trump's eventual return to the White House than they were about Biden.
“Previous presidents have threatened to attack other countries with nuclear weapons or demonstrated behavior that caused other officials to express concerns about the president’s rule,” the letter said.
The footnotes in the image above refer quite clearly to an alleged “threat” by Trump to nuke North Korea.
Speaking to Doocy, Jean-Pierre insisted that Biden's handling of the economy is evidence of his alleged mental fitness.
She added: “What matters is that the president, in the last three years, has succeeded in achieving the economy and health care, and he has transformed this country after the last president left us with an economy that was in chaos.” Save.
Recent opinion polls show that Trump is 11 points ahead of Biden in his handling of the economy. Most Americans would prefer to return to a state of “collapse.”
“This part of the report does not live in reality,” Jean-Pierre stammered again before leaving the podium.
