Former President Joe Biden joked about his age and shamelessly bragged about his record on illegal immigration during a rare post-presidency speech on Friday.
“I’m getting pretty old,” Biden, 83, told the crowd in South Carolina, after he needed to pause his speech to cough. “Forty times two, plus a lot more.”
Biden repeatedly insisted that voters shouldn’t be concerned about his age in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election.
The former president dropped out of the race about a month after a disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump – which he blamed on a cold and not his age – amid mounting concerns within the Democratic Party about his mental acuity.
Friday’s event was billed as a celebration of the six-year anniversary of Biden’s 2020 victory in the South Carolina Democratic presidential primary – a win that marked a turning point for his then floundering campaign.
The former president used the forum to tout his record as commander in chief, even in the policy areas where voters gave him his lowest marks.
“Despite everything you read, despite the fact that COVID drove migration to record levels all around the world, the day I left office, border crossings into the United States were lower than the day that I entered that office” Biden said.
“That’s just a fact,” the former president argued.
An average of about 2.4 million migrants poured into the country every year of Biden’s only term in office — most crossing into the US illegally.

Correct
Because Texas shut down the border a year before Trump came in and Biden’s legal challenges to Texas failed.
Do border numbers really count if the illegals are flown in? At midnight? Without shot records or passports?

Beyond any headline that says “BIDEN CRAPS ON MSNOW REPORTER DURING INTERVIEW”, I’m not reading anything posted about the Drooling Spoon here.
Damn! He was tough on illegal immigration! I knew we should have re-elected him. Can we have a do-over?

Floppo Biden at SC Democrat fund-raiser.
Resident Brandon. Perfect shot.
Stupid evil lying son of a bitch bastard Biden. Together with the other evil SOB Obama, waylaid America and left her for dead.
But we’re back, by the grace of GOD and the man He raised up for a time such as this — Donald J. Trump.
If I never hear another word from the twin pieces of S Biden and Obama, that would be great.
Here they come - during the country’s semiquincentennial celebration. Hussein opens his flak tower and adoration center in June. I’m gonna have to miss that.
Just be thankful that we may be..... just about rid..... of those two(Obama & Biden) as having any real influence in a Republic. Not quite rid of them maybe. They are yet to be arrested,convicted, & sentenced.
I wonder how many drugs they had him on for that speech. It’s getting harder and harder to keep him awake and coherent.
Approaching 84 in just a few weeks, I’m thinking 90 and actually wondering about 100
