Problematic presidential candidate Joe Biden is now claiming that he has not taken a cognitive test, contrary to what he has claimed before. This happened during an interview that was being conducted by CBS News correspondent Erroll Barnett. The interview was part of a convention of Black and Hispanic journalists. Barnett asked the old candidate if he had ever been tested for cognitive decline.

The question seems to trigger Biden, who snapped back at Barnett. “No, I haven’t taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test? Come on, man,” Biden replied. Apparently, the question really made Biden upset because he continued to badger the reporter. He then accused Barnett of being a junkie as the conversation took a bizarre turn. “What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?” Biden said rudely.

The reporter went on with his questions, and he asked Biden if he had seen President Trump bragging about his cognitive abilities and how he had questioned Biden’s condition. “Well, if he can’t figure out the difference between an elephant and a lion, I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about,” Biden replied.

“Did you watch that—look, come on, man. I know you’re trying to goad me, but I mean…I’m so forward-looking to have an opportunity to sit with the president or stand with the president and the debates,” the presidential candidate added. That was not the worst of it, however. Biden claimed that he is willing to let the public judge his mental capacity, but as he was saying so, he fumbled the words “mental fitness” twice. That part of the interview has been conveniently left out by the news outlets that have reported on the incident.

There is growing concern regarding Biden’s cognitive ability. He has always been prone to gaffes, but the things that he has been saying lately are getting more bizarre. His outburst during the interview is also another sign that he may have dementia. This latest incident is also concerning because back in June, he claimed that his cognitive ability has been tested and that he’s been tested constantly.

The mainstream media is trying to cover up for him now. CNN is now claiming that he didn’t really say he took cognitive tests in June. It published what it claimed to be a fact-checking article where it says that Biden was referring to the campaign as the test that he had to undergo.
