Joe Biden rebuked a reporter who asked if the former vice president had taken a cognitive test, claiming that asking the question was similar to asking the interviewer if he was using cocaine.
CBS correspondent Errol Barnett prompted the presumptive Democratic nominee to clarify if he had taken a test measuring his mental acuity, leading to a tense exchange."No, I haven't taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test? Come on, man,” Biden said. “That's like saying to you, before you got on this program if you had taken a test were you taking cocaine or not.
"It was a preposterous question deserving of a response that showed the absurdity of it all," a Biden campaign official told POLITICO. Biden has long bristled at claims that he is mentally slowing. President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign is prioritizing Biden’s cognitive ability as a key issue, aiming to portray Biden as doddering and incompetent.
At a press conference in late June, a reporter asked Biden if he had taken a cognitive test. The former vice president did not directly answer and instead claimed he was ““I can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability of the man I’m running against,” Biden said at the time.
This guy Errol is a big time phony. I always suspected something about his English accent, and once, when he worked at CNN, he was completely dumbfounded about a basic question about British sports that even a grandma or a London gay would easily know. Turned out he grew up in 🇺🇸
Holy shit
Forward looking...jayzuz really? Seriously he’s the best we have?

Joe Biden is really racist towards Blacks
People are only tested by their doctor when they display symptoms and require it or request it for symptoms.
A slow Joe is better than the unstable moron .
What kind of hit job is this? He was joking with Errol
Tense exchange? He was literally laughing. Y’all are trying to make something out of nothin.
Surely the Dem establishment isn't stupid enough to put this poor man on a debate stage with Trump, right?
Where's the tense exchange? LOL! You folks be trying hard to make something out of nothing. Geesh🙄
He answered that VERY WELL - is the Politico guy a JUNKIE?
A tense exchange? Biden went off about cocaine use and being a “junkie”. Then he said “come on man” (twice). Maybe Hunter isn’t the only Biden that uses coke.
I see the media still hasn't learned to not amplify Trump's disingenuous attacks by taking them at face value.
And Biden called the journalist a junkie.
Tense? Awkward maybe. It was a stupid question.
OMG, I can't wait for CompoundBoss to cover this.
Tense? I’m not voting for this old look but this was freaking hilarious!
Dude could have zero mental acuity or be on life support in a coma and he'd still get my vote in November
Biden Asks Black Reporter If He’s A Junkie On Cocaine.
