Pritzker smells his own diaper.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) scrutinized language in the specialcounselâs report, released Thursday, on President Bidenâs retention
of classified documents â including comments about the presidentâs
age and memory.
âI smell a rat,â Pritzker, one of the top surrogates in Bidenâs
reelection campaign, said during a press conference Friday.
âIt was extremely unfair for a [former President] Trump appointee,
originally to the Department of Justice, to offer his own opinions
about the mental acuity or age of the president of the United
States,â he added.
His defense of Biden comes after DOJ special counsel Robert Hur, who
was tasked with investigating classified documents found in Bidenâs
former vice presidential office and his personal home in Delaware,
published a 388-page report that accused him of âwillfullyâ
retaining the documents. Hur, however, said because the president
cooperated fully with the probe, he would not be charged.
âWe have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely
present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as
a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,â Hur
wrote in his report, drawing scrutiny from Biden allies, including
Pritzker.
The Illinois governor disputed Hurâs observation, touting the
presidentâs wisdom instead.
âIâve been with the president of the United States many times,â
Pritzker said, âHe is on the ball. Man knows more than most of us
have forgotten.â
Biden also criticized the report for invoking his memory, including
alleging he struggled to remember details, including when his late
son Beau died.
âHow in the hell dare he raise that,â Biden said in remarks from the
White House Thursday. âFrankly, when I was asked the question I
thought to myself it wasnât any of their damn business.â
âI donât need anyone to remind me when he passed away,â he added.
The White House suggested Friday that the pointed sections about
Bidenâs age and memory represented a political attack.
