Joe Biden, during his explanation of why he hasn’t taken a cognitive test, compared it to asking the interviewer, CBS News’ Errol Barnett, if he should take a drug test before going on air:
BIDEN: “No, I haven’t taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test? C’mon man. That’s like saying you, before you got in this program, if you take a test where you’re taking cocaine or not, what do you think huh? Are you a junkie?” pic.twitter.com/f6UMPJq381

Well, that’s quite the take! Asking a Black journo if he’s a junkie? At the National Association of Black Journalists convention, no less:
“Why the hell would I take a test?”@JoeBiden scoffs at idea of taking a cognitive test.
Suggests @realDonaldTrump “can’t figure out the difference between an elephant and a lion.”

And he forgot about his other cognitive tests?
Last month Biden said, “I’ve been tested and I’m constantly tested.” https://t.co/Wbe4eArqop

But stick around until the end where he gets tongue-tied trying to say “physical and mental fitness”:

We doubt the media will report on this, however:
Everyone: Man that Trump interview w/ Axios was pretty bad
Biden: Hold my beer https://t.co/XvhdHN7Wse
