Rita Moreno says people who criticize President Biden’s octogenarian status “don’t understand anything about old age.”
The legendary “West Side Story” actor, who turned 92 last week, opened up to ITK when asked recently whether she considers Biden’s age an issue in the 2024 presidential race. Eighty-one-year-old Biden is the oldest president to be elected to the White House.
“I think people are mistaking something of President Biden,” Moreno said.
“I think that because he walks like an elderly person — which he does — they don’t think this is working,” Moreno said, pointing to her head.
“They don’t understand anything about old age,” the EGOT winner exclaimed.

“My great aunt died at the age of 95 and she 1) NEVER walked like that 2) was sharp as a tack to the end 3) was a Conservative and extremely intelligent.”
Exactly. I know many people over the age of 80 in better mental shape than Biden. Their minds are sharp and they are well-informed on issues. Even at the age of 89, just before her death, my mother could reel off all her medications, the dosages, prescribing physician, and the purpose of the medication. She was well aware of events both in the past and in the present.
It is not Biden’s age that I object to. Besides his obvious long-time criminality, I object to the fact that our President is mentally impaired.
Hopefully, that is what is coming. At least that is what is promised.
At this point Biden doesn’t understand anything about anything.
she is still hot
Don’t understand? Like no one in the nation has ever had an old person in their family...
Charming house and yes, a LOT of trees!
All candidates for president (or for airline pilot) should pass cognitive testing (administered and scored completely objectively, by a computer), regardless of age.
Your mother was fit, mentally, to the end and probably more "with it" than many much younger people and age be damned!
You were blessed to have her for as long as you did.
Rita has thoughts. Worth about as much as a cup of coffee.
That’s a lot of trees!
