‘You think I’d fucking forget the day my son died?’: How Biden raged to a small group of Democratic leaders over son Beau’s statement in classified document report
- According to the special counsel’s report, Biden could not remember when his son died
- Classified documents report characterized Biden as having ‘a faulty memory’
- Biden slammed Robert Hur’s report, saying his ‘memory is fine’
Joe Biden dropped the F-bomb in a tirade against a small group of Democratic leaders after special counsel Robert Hur wrote in a bombshell report that the “older” president could not remember when his son Beau died.
The shocking details are included in Hur’s 388-page report released Thursday on Biden’s “deliberate mishandling” of classified documents.
The report said Biden could not remember when his son Beau died, “not even within a few years.”
The president did not respond well to the embarrassing details.
He cursed in front of a handful of lawmakers ahead of his speech at the House Democrats’ retreat in Virginia on Thursday, sources told the Associated Press.
“Do you think I would forget the day my son died?” Biden was reportedly furious.
Beau Biden, the president’s eldest son, died in 2015 from a brain tumor. He was 46 years old at the time of his death.

While Hur said in the report that he would not file charges against Biden, the report gave a scathing description of an 81-year-old president with “diminished faculties and a defective memory.”
Biden further lashed out at the characterization of his mental capabilities and claims about his son during a hastily announced news conference at the White House on Thursday evening.
‘How on earth does he dare bring that up? Honestly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, ‘It was none of their damn business,'” Biden said of the special counsel.
Biden appeared to become emotional when speaking about his son, noting that he has worn his son’s rosary every day since Beau’s death.
“Every Memorial Day we hold a service in his memory, attended by friends and family and the people who loved him,” Biden told reporters. ‘I do not need anyone. I don’t need anyone to remind me when he died.’
Biden said at the White House on Thursday that he thought it was “none of their damn business” when investigators asked about his son Beau in the investigation into classified documents.

During Biden’s fiery remarks on Thursday, he continued to push back on the special counsel’s scathing description of his mental acuity, at one point responding to the question, “My memory is fine.”
Biden pointed out Thursday that he participated in five hours of in-person interviews over two days for the investigation immediately after the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel.
“I was in the middle of dealing with an international crisis,” Biden said.
