Joe Biden dropped the f-bomb in a rant to a small group of Democrat leaders after Special Counsel Robert Hur wrote in a bombshell report that the ‘elderly’ president couldn’t remember when his son Beau died.
The shocking details were included in Hur’s 388-page report publicized Thursday into Biden’s ‘willful mishandling’ of classified documents.
According to the report, Biden could not remember when his son Beau died, ‘even within a few years.’
The president did not react well to the embarrassing details.
He cussed 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.
‘You think I would f***ing forget the day my son died?’ Biden reportedly fumed.
Beau Biden, the president’s eldest son, died in 2015 of a brain tumor. He was 46 years old at the time of his death.

While Hur said in the report that he would not press charges against Biden, the report gave a scathing description of an 81-year-old president with ‘diminished faculties and a faulty memory.’
Biden further lashed out at the characterization of his mental capabilities and claims about his son on Thursday night in a hastily announced press conference at the White House.
‘How in the hell dare he raise that? Frankly, 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 get emotional when speaking about his son, noting he wore his son’s rosary every day since Beau died.
‘Every Memorial Day we hold a service remembering him, attended by friends and family and the people who loved him,’ Biden told the room of reporters. ‘I don’t need anyone. I don’t need anyone to remind me when he passed away.’

Throughout Biden’s fiery remarks on Thursday, he continued to push back on special counsel’s scathing description of his mental acuity, responding to a question at one point, ‘my memory is fine.’
Biden pointed out on Thursday that he had sat down for five hours of in-person interviews over two days for the investigation directly after the Hamas terror attack on Israel on October 7.
“I was in the middle of handling an international crisis,’ Biden said.
