Even a CNN reporter is admitting that President Joe Biden “seems confused.”
Biden gave an interview to ABC’s “World News Tonight” anchor David Muir last week. During the interview, Muir asked the 79-year-old Biden, “If you look out across the country, you see it everywhere, these long lines, people waiting for hours outside in the cold, just to get tested, to be reassured before they spend time with their family.

“I don’t think it’s a failure,” Biden responded. “I think it’s – you could argue that we should have known a year ago, six months ago, two months ago, a month ago.” . . .

CNN correspondent Jeff Zeleny highlighted the gaffe during an appearance on the “Situation Room” TV program.
“Repeatedly throughout this interview with David Muir, which was recorded this afternoon, President Biden seems confused and was confusing the half a billion tests that they’ve ordered with a half a billion pills,” Zeleny stated. “And, of course, pills were in the news today with the Pfizer approval of the antiviral, so he corrected himself, but that was one thing that stuck out to me.
