Joe Biden, whose presidential campaign in 2024 collapsed amid obvious public displays of a significant cognitive decline, took the opportunity he had to speak at the recent memorial service for Jesse Jackson to display his contempt for fellow Americans.
“I am a hell of a lot smarter than most of you,” he stated.

Social media, which during his campaign had documented his propensity for misidentifying people, calling on dead people, making wild and impossible statements, was on duty again.
“Why is he talking about himself at someone else’s funeral?”
“Dear lord. Elder abuse.”
“Safe to assume he did not read Dale Carnegie’s book, ‘How to win friends and influence people.’”
“He always makes it about him.”
“Talk about insulting a crowd, lol.”
“Biden turning a eulogy into a very weird flex.”
“Does he know he’s at a funeral?”
“At this point, he is simply an embarrassment.”
A report at Fox News explained he was complaining about being ridiculed as a child for a stutter.
He said people don’t laugh when someone has a physical handicap and suggested speech impediments are mistaken for a lack of intelligence.
“If I told you I had a cleft palate or clubfoot, none of you would have laughed,” Biden said. “But it’s OK to laugh at stuttering. … It’s the one place where people think you’re stupid. Oh, really? I’m a hell of a lot smarter than most of you.”
The report noted, “His ‘smarter than most of you’ line was quickly added to a growing list of out-of-context gaffes for the former president.”
The New York Post, during Biden’s tenure in the White House, posted a pages-long list of his “worst gaffes.”
It described him as pushing “verbal stumbles, overblown claims, and outright fabrications.”
For example, he claimed to have been on the scene of 9/11 the day after, when his own memoir put him in Washington at the time.
After wildfires ravaged Maui, destroying hundreds of homes, he complained, “I don’t want to compare difficulties, but we have a little sense — Jill and I — what it’s like to lose a home.” Actually his structure one time sustained a small kitchen blaze. Firefighters said it took 20 minutes to contain.
He once announced, “We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean.”
He also claimed, wildly, “We have a very, in relative terms, a large Puerto Rican population in Delaware relative to our population. We have the eighth-largest black population of the country and between all minorities, we have 20% of our state [that] is minority. And so I — I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home, politically.”
The Post said, “One of Biden’s most atrocious verbal misfires in his long career of gaffes came when he sought out Indiana Rep. Jackie Walorski at a White House conference — eight weeks after her high-profile death. ‘Representative Jackie — are you here? Where’s Jackie?’ the president asked from the podium, peering futilely about the room. ‘I think she was going to be here,’ he added.”
He has mixed up Iran and Ukraine, and stunned those who lived through World War II with, “I will once more return to the hollow ground of Yad Shav… — Vashem to honor the 6 million Jewish lives were stolen in a genocide. And continue — which we must do every, every day — continue to bear witness, to keep alive the truth and honor of the Holocaust.”
He did correct that to the “horror” of the Holocaust.
He often called himself a senator, while in the White House, and likewise called Kamala Harris the “president.”
The list goes on.
Radio host Clay Travis once concluded about Biden, “He can barely read. Everyone can see the look in his eyes here, he’s lost.”
