Special Counsel Robert Hur testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, and while bombshell expectations may have been low, few, if any, could have had President Biden imitating car noises on their bingo card.
Democrat lawmakers engaged in wordplay to suggest Hur “exonerated” Biden — he did not — and the media was busy cleaning up Hur’s report claiming the 81-year-old geriatric president forgot when his son died, as seen when the Washington Post reported that he “wondered aloud when, exactly, it was that his son died.”
Transcripts of Hur’s interview with Biden were released on Tuesday, and that’s where we learn that he play-acted as if he was a car.

Speaking of the Post, to its credit the newspaper reported:
At times during the interview, according to the transcript, the president made noises like a car.
Once, it was while lamenting that he could drive his vintage Chevrolet Corvette only the length of his driveway. The other time was during a lengthy exchange over the torque of electric vehicles.
ADVERTISEMENT“By the way, you know how it works?” Biden asked Hur. “It’s really cool.”
Hur remarked, “Sir, I’d love — I would love, love to hear much more about this, but I do have a few more questions to get through.”
“You step your foot on the accelerator all the way down until it gets about six, seven grand,” Biden continued. “Then all the sudden it will say ‘launch.’ All you do is take your foot off the brake.”
The transcript then indicates “(Makes car sound)” as well as “(Laughter).”
Sadly, the image of Biden having that conversation while mimicking the sound of a car comes easily to the mind, though there are different theories behind his reasoning. One suggestion was that it was an intentional means of distraction to avoid questioning.
Either way, the revelation prompted plenty of chatter on social media… here’s a quick sampling of some of the responses, as seen on X:

Sounds like a conversation with my 7 yr old nephew.

It is a well known tactic to try to distract from guilt. Oh that question? Look over there, there’s a bird! When I was a kid we had lots of birds!!

Cmon, they only need to keep up the appearances for a few more months

Biden didn’t remember when he was vice president, didn’t remember when his son died, thought he was an architect, couldn’t remember what a fax machine or poster board was, fabricated stories about being an ace archer, and made vroom vroom car sounds during an interview with a DOJ…

Did he make car sounds too, like Biden did? https://t.co/Wssz2xPZnR
