The American people just learned firsthand with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin that the Biden regime will lie to them when it comes to matters of health, which offers no reassurance whatsoever about the cognitive challenges President Joe Biden continues to exhibit.
The latest example causing concern occurred on Thursday when the 81-year-old president admitted during a speech in North Carolina that he had gotten “mixed up” after seemingly confusing a woman with whom he took a photo for U.S. Rep. Deborah Ross (D-NC), who was not even in attendance.
“I want to mention Congresswoman Deborah Ross, where’s Deborah?” Biden asked. “I just had my picture taken with her, that’s probably why she left.”
“Oh, she couldn’t be here, actually,” Biden continued, after the self-deprecating humor. “That’s not true. I got it mixed up.”

As reported by Fox News, it’s unclear who the president took a picture with and who he got “mixed up.” The network reached out to White House and Rep. Ross’s office for clarification but did not immediately receive a response.
As bad as the moment was, it didn’t top Biden mistakenly calling out for the late Rep. Jackie Walorski at a White House event in Sept. 2022. The Indiana Republican had died the month before in a car accident.
“Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie,” Biden asked. “She was going to be here.”
For an encore Thursday, Biden rambled “incoherently” about his son Beau and being at an event that he then said he wasn’t at. As noted in the tweet below, “This man is not well.”
NEW: Biden says his son Beau Biden died “because of what happened in Iraq” and then goes on to ramble incoherently.
Beau Biden died of a brain tumor in Maryland.
