Biden’s detailed notecards raise new questions about his age

A photo of the president’s detailed note cards taken during a press conference has led a number of Republicans to raise new questions about his age at the start of his reelection bid and to condemn what they see as an overly cozy approach from the White House press corps. #CNN #News

Are we still pretending he's cognitive?

[AlexW-wvnt]

Having notes on what to say is fine. Knowing what the reporters (who are supposed to hold the administration accountable) are going to ask is the bigger issue.

Dr. Guupta would never say anything negative about Joe Biden on CNN

"End of quote, repeat the line"

[Gman]

Notes card is no issue but predetermined questions is.

[jsnip]

I don’t think he just had notes though. He had almost the exact questions. That’s the actual problem.Also anyone who doesn’t think he has cognitive issues right now, isn’t paying attention.

[Christian-dizu]

NOT our best and brightest. We should expect WAY more of the person leading our country.

[razman]

I’m not worried about notes, but the predetermined questions is very concerning.

[onefm]

Forget about the cards, he's gaffing all over the place.

[gtfivehundred]

He gets lost when he walks. What else matters people

[Phoenix-in-flight]

Totally normal. All speakers have pressers and cheat sheets. Being prepared and organised is professional. Would you prefer off the cuff outlandish statements like injecting bleach? 😂😂

[sallyturner]

I’ve used notecards my whole life and I’m not embarrassed by it.

[jonathanmorrison]

We know the dude is a pathological liar now he has dementia as well. Somebody else needs to do this job. He is failing miserably

[itsalllies]

Hes been doing this since he was vice president

[extremeedison]

President Biden is dealing with many complex foreign and domestic issues and works everyday without golf days.

[pmclaughlin]

I find it odd that good staff that ensures that the boss is prepared is somehow an issue

[ashenwalker]

No shit people are questioning his age. He has to be told where to f'n walk. The fact some of you say he's sharp and level headed is f'n wild

[mn-ruli]

In other news, CNN's sucky editorial direction raises questions about its subpar new management.

[suvignanpothuraju]

Well CNN made a fuss about former president Trump.

[catherinelavender]

They probably also indicate his ongoing struggle with stammering. As a stammerer myself, I know how much notes help prevent me from stumbling when the word just won’t come. Without them, there is a risk of a word-substitution failure, and imagine how very gentle and understanding the press is about such a mistake?
