Biden’s brain is functioning properly. Just ask Biden’s brain surgeon.
Biden on Tuesday evening said that RFK and MLK were assassinated in the “late 70’s” while speaking to a crowd in Iowa.
“In my generation, when I got out of school, when Bobby Kennedy and Dr. King had been assassinated in the 70s, the late 70s, I got engaged,” Biden said.
Kennedy was actually shot in June of 1968 and Martin Luther King was shot in late March of 1968 and died a few weeks later in April.
Biden stumbled and corrected himself.
“Up to that time, you remember—none of you women will remember this, but a couple men will remember it,” he said. “That was the time in the early to late 60s, in the early 60s, the 60s, when it was, ‘Drop out, go to Haight-Ashbury, don’t get engaged, don’t trust anyone over 30.'”

But he remembers it so well! It happened when he was an Anthracite Coal Miner!
GHWB didn’t remember where he was when JFK was shot.....
Biden is Biden. He’s been doing this for decades. The nicest way to try to deal with it is to suggest it’s age-related. It isn’t. He’s just not all that bright. Never has been. Keep in mind that he wrecked Paul Ryan in a debate. That tells us a lot about Paul Ryan. He lost a debate to a moron. Badly.
He knew FDR would address the country on TV.
GHWB didn’t remember where he was when JFK was shot.....
[snort]
Lying and a bad memory are a fatal combination.
he meant in HIS late 70’s
sheesh.
Go BIDEN!
joe, just go.
If you always tell the truth you don’t require a great memory.
“Kennedy was actually shot in June of 1968 and Martin Luther King was shot in late March of 1968 and died a few weeks later in April.”
King died at the time he was shot, not weeks later. He was shot in April, near Easter.
I think he smoked a bit to much parsley at Scarborough Fair.
I think Biden should pick Robert Mueller as his VP running mate. First, it shows that he, like McCain, is willing to “reach across the aisles” by picking a nominal “Republican” acceptable to the Dem base. The second reason is that if Biden wins and Mueller becomes VP, the latter is insurance against removal from office under the 25th Amendment for dementia since Mueller is one of the few public figures more senile than Joe Biden.
and the libs allege President Trump is suffering from alzheimers?? LOL...
Actually MLK was shot on April 4 1968 and died within an hour. RFK was shot on June 6 1968. I was 11 at the time and remember the news of both events.
I remember the 1988 campaign when George Bush was given no mercy by the press for confusing Pearl Harbor Day with Sep 7 instead of Dec 7. He corrected himself right afterwards but he was roasted nonetheless and many questioned his ability to be president. Some even suggested he had Alzheimer’s disease.
I was in school when JFK was shot, I remember the Sister who was our teacher telling us we were all going home because school would be closed for the rest of the week because the President was just shot.
I remember the news stories about MLK and RFK but not the moment I found out- like JFK.
When asked for his opinion about Boko Haram, Biden replied that he’s always loved their recording of “A Whiter Shade of Pale.”
Ya know I say the wrong decade by mistake, regularly. (my kids laugh). I’m in my early 70s and have a touch of CRS. But I’m not running for President.
