White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre made a bizarre and false claim that Joe Biden, who doesn’t know where he is most of the time, “does more in one hour than most people do in a day.”
Reporters began questioning Biden’s mental acuity after Special Counsel Robert Hur released a report describing the president as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
The report read:
“We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
“Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt.”
“It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him – by then a former president well into his eighties – of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”
However, Karine Jean Pierre brushed off questions, claiming, “Biden does more in one hour than most people do in a day!” despite Biden having an empty schedule for most of the week.

Last week, the Hur Special Counsel referred to Biden as an “elderly man with poor memory” in his report.
As we reported last week, Biden lost his temper after Fox News reporter Peter Doocy questioned his cognitive abilities as he struggled to respond to the special counsel report, which concluded he suffers from poor memory.
“Just how good is your memory, and can you continue as President?”
The question appeared to anger Biden, who shot back at the reporter.
“My memory is so bad that I let you speak,” Biden snapped.

KJP struggled to explain how Biden has done the least number of press conferences of any modern president.
“President Biden has engaged in about 33 news conferences compare that to Obama’s 66 and Donald Trump’s 52 by this time in their presidencies. Can you explain why the president isn’t?” a reporter asked KJP.
“We have found some non-traditional ways we think it’s important to try and meet the American people where they are. And so that is important as well whether it’s a podcast that’s important or doing certain things that are not the norm,” KJP responded.
