On Monday’s episode of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart criticized Joe Biden and the White House’s handling of persistent worries about the incumbent’s mental fitness and candidacy. The comedian’s team compiled footage from major networks featuring pundits and experts, urging those who voiced their concerns publicly, to stop. Subsequently, he claimed that Biden’s concern “may be seen as a more foundational issue,” and gave examples of the president’s many troubling moments. Stewart began with a clip from last year when Biden asked, « Jackie, you here? Where’s Jackie? »
The comedian opined, « Unfortunately, Jackie was dead. It’s something the president seems to have known six weeks earlier when he released a condolence statement about her death. » He next followed up with a clip where Biden appeared to forget another significant death. According to Raw Story, Biden addressed a Las Vegas crowd in February, claiming he recently met with French president, François Mitterrand, who passed away in 1995.
