Report: Biden Ripped Hur For Asking When Son Beau Died…But He Never Did

Last week, Joe Biden tore into Special Counsel Robert Hur for asking him about the death of his son, Beau.

Following the drop of Hur’s report on his investigation into Biden’s mishandling of classified documents, it was revealed that Biden could not remember significant details about his life — including when he was Vice President and when his son, Beau, passed away from cancer.

“There is even reference that I don’t remember when my son died. How in the hell dare he raise that?” Biden angrily said during a White House press conference,

“Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.”

There’s just one problem: the question Joe Biden claims Robert Hur asked him never happened.

It was actually Joe Biden himself who first brought up Beau’s death and then could not correctly recall the date he passed…

NBC is reporting that Special Counsel Hur was not the one who raised the death of President Biden's son. It was Biden himself. https://t.co/u3UTrrWP0D Yet, the President told the public the very opposite in an irate moment in the recent press conference…

NBC News originally reported on the shocking revelation:

President Joe Biden lashed out at Robert Hur last week over one particular line in the special counsel’s report on his handling of classified documents: that Biden “did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.”

“How in the hell dare he raise that?” Biden told reporters in an impromptu White House press conference. “Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.”

But Hur never asked that question, according to two people familiar with Hur’s five-hour interview with the president over two days last October. It was the president, not Hur or his team, who first introduced Beau Biden’s death, they said.

Biden raised his son’s death after being asked about his workflow at a Virginia rental home from 2016 to 2018, the sources said, when a ghost writer was helping him write a memoir about losing Beau to brain cancer in 2015. Investigators had a 2017 recording showing that Biden had told the ghost writer he had found “classified stuff” in that home, the report says.

Biden began trying to recall that period by discussing what else was happening in his life, and it was at that point in the interview that he appeared confused about when Beau died, the sources said. Biden got the date — May 30 — correct, but not the year.

The New York Post also commented on the development:

President Biden went ballistic on special counsel Robert Hur for allegedly asking about his son Beau’s death — but a new report says the question never came up and Biden himself raised the topic.

The 81-year-old president was defending his cognitive abilities when he ripped Hur during a bellicose press conference Thursday night — but Biden’s memory appears to have failed him again.

“There’s even a reference that I don’t remember when my son died. How in the hell dare he raise that,” Biden fumed in a statement to reporters before taking questions. “Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself it wasn’t any of their damn business.”

Hur’s report on Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified information said the president’s cognitive decline is so perceptible that no jury would convict him for stashing records from his vice presidency and Senate tenure in his Delaware home and at a DC office.

But wait, it gets worse.

Joe Biden wasn’t the only one to wrongfully attack Robert Hur over a question he never asked.

Jill Biden also blasted Hur in a fundraising email, where she invoked Beau’s memory to milk the lie and referred to herself as “Beau’s mother”…

.@FLOTUS (via campaign) weighs in on Hur report:

“I hope you can imagine how it felt to read that attack — not just as Joe’s wife, but as Beau’s mother.”

Yet, Beau’s mother was not Jill.

It was Joe’s deceased first wife, Neilia.

NEW: A Biden fundraising email sent this morning attempts to cash in on the special counsel report, specifically its reference to Beau Biden. In the email, Jill Biden refers to herself as "Beau's mother."

Beau Biden's mother was Neilia Biden, Joe's first wife, who died in a car… pic.twitter.com/yPpVjXncYs

Are these people really that forgetful?

Or do they just have no shame?
