Quote of the Day
““You think I would f***ing forget the day my son died?” Biden said, according to the AP. He repeated a version of the line without the F-bomb during a Q&A with a larger group of House Dems while responding to a special counsel report released Thursday by Robert Hur.”
In remarks at the White House Thursday, Biden denied that he improperly shared classified information and angrily lashed out at Hur for questioning his mental acuity, particularly his recollection of the timing of his late son Beau’s death.
