WASHINGTON, March 27 White House Press Secretary Karine Jean -Pierre became angry during an interview because of a question about whether American President Joe Biden suffers from dementia, ending the conversation early.
«I can't even believe you're asking me this question. It's an incredibly insulting question,» Jean-Pierre said in an interview with radio station WBT.
Then the White House press secretary began praising Biden and his work as president, and when she finished, she wished her interlocutor a good day and hung up. The presenter laughed in response to this.
Recently, problems with the memory of the current US President have become especially acute: three times he told stories in which, instead of the current heads of state, he mistakenly mentioned their deceased predecessors.
A new wave of concerns was raised by special counsel Robert Heur's report, which he prepared at the conclusion of the investigation into the improper storage of classified documents by Biden. As noted in the document, during communications with the team of the special prosecutor, Biden showed problems with memory, could not accurately indicate the start and end dates of his work as vice president, and also name the date of death of his son Beau.
