President Joe Biden delivered his annual State of the Union address on Thursday. Predictably, Biden struggled in a few instances, and ignited Democrats when he used the term “illegal immigrant,” which Townhall covered. 

In one instance, Biden attempted to say that he thought Roe v. Wade got it right. 

And, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed that Biden “should have said undocumented.”

After Biden’s address, he reportedly joked with Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler (NY) about being “cognitively impaired.”

“Nobody’s going to talk about ‘cognitively impaired’ now,” Nadler said to Biden.

Biden laughed and said, “I kind of wish at times there were cognitive impairment.”

Last month, Special Counsel Robert Hur’s eye-opening report about President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents revealed how the president seriously struggles to remember details about his life and career. As Townhall covered, the president’s recollection of his son, Beau’s, death, is foggy. 

Hur’s report specifically described the president as a “sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.” 

Afterwards, Jill Biden lashed out at Hur in an email to campaign donors. On another occasion, she claimed that her husband has “vigor” and “energy.” 

“I see him out traveling around this country. I see his vigor. I see his energy,” she claimed.
