President Joe Biden joked that there were moments when he wished he was “cognitively impaired” after his State of the Union speech on Thursday night.
After making his remarks, Biden visited with several Congressmen as he moved through the House chamber. Representative Jerry Nadler (D-NY) commented, “Nobody’s going to talk about cognitively impaired now,” about Biden’s enthusiasm during the speech, which lasted more than an hour.
“I kind of wish sometimes I was cognitively impaired,” Biden jokingly replied.
To refute rumors of cognitive decline, President Biden engaged in several spontaneous exchanges and interactions with hecklers during his fourth State of the Union address.
