Biden jokingly threatened to beat up the authors of a book about his presidency

Former US President Joe Biden said he could "beat up all" the authors of a new book about his presidential term, claiming a decrease in cognitive abilities. This was reported on Friday, May 30, by the Fox News channel.

"You can see that I'm mentally incompetent, I can't walk, and I can beat them both up," Biden told reporters after speaking at a Memorial Day event in Delaware.

Biden was talking about two journalists, Jake Tapper from CNN and Alex Thompson from Axios. They wrote the book "Original Sin: The Fading of President Biden, His Cover-up, and the Disastrous Decision to Run Again." In it, the authors claimed that Biden could hardly make coherent sentences, which his team was trying to hide.
