Joe Biden is angry.
On Friday, former President Joe Biden responded to questions about his mental fitness during his first public remarks since announcing his prostate cancer diagnosis.
Biden appeared to take a shot at CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson for their book Original Sin, which chronicles the cover-up of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.
“You can see that I’m mentally incompetent, I can’t walk,” Biden quipped to reporters after a Memorial Day event. “And I could beat the hell out of both of them.”
Biden also told reporters that he is “optimistic” about his prostate cancer diagnosis and is currently receiving treatment in the form of a pill.
“My expectation is we’re going to be able to beat this,” Biden said.
