Democrats Are Seething After Robert Hur's Testimony, and the Highlights Are Brutal for Joe Biden

Congressional testimonies often don't live up to the hype, but Robert Hur's trip to Capitol Hill on Tuesday was everything Republicans were hoping it would be.
The now-former special counsel was in charge of investigating Joe Biden's theft and mishandling of classified documents, some of which were found unsecured in his garage. That led to a report from Hur that was lambasted by Democrats for supposedly overstepping its bounds. What was the issue? It included ample evidence of the current president's senility, including significant memory loss.
But if Democrats were hoping to beat back some of the narratives produced by Hur's accurate portrayal of the facts, they quickly found out he wasn't there to play along with their gambit.
Hur did not back down on his assessment of Biden's memory, proclaiming that the "president himself" made it an issue. In one case, the president tried to deflect from his inability to recall an event by claiming his son had died in the same year. As Hur notes, Beau Biden actually died two years earlier, in 2015. The White House lied about that exchange in the initial aftermath of the report, claiming that it was the special counsel who brought up Beau Biden. The president repeated that assertion during a disastrous press conference. The transcript, which Hur had at the ready during the hearing, showed otherwise.
