Presidential nominee Joe Biden has had another very awkward interview with a black reported from CBS. In this very awkward interview, Joe Biden asks if the reporter was tested for cocaine before he got his job then asks the reporter, "are you a junkie?" then Joe Biden tries to just laugh it off.
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

All the reported said to Joe Biden was have you taken a cognitive test. Joe's first word was, "No, I haven't taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test?" but if you remember July 2nd in his press conference when he was asked the same question he said, “I’ve been tested. I’ve been tested constantly.”
Here is a comment from Trump Jr. on the same interview.
Will someone please make it stop?
When does this become elder abuse?It would be sad if it wasn’t so scary that #Biden could actually be in charge of the nuclear football. Wake up America!pic.twitter.com/plmNZ8UQMr

According to TheHill
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden very nearly survived his first press conference in three months without a single goof. Almost, but not quite.
At the very end of the question-and-answer session, asked by a reporter if he had been tested for “cognitive decline,” he answered, “I’ve been tested. I’ve been tested constantly.” Biden went on to say he could “hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability of the man I’m running against.”
Pretty snappy answer for a fellow thought by 38 percent of likely voters to be suffering a mental decline. Except, of course, that Biden’s response raised more questions than it answered.
Such as...where was he tested? Why, exactly, is he being “constantly tested”? Are his doctors worried about him? Most importantly, when will he release the results of those tests?
A columnist for The Washington Post ascribed concerns about Biden’s mental state to political gamesmanship, writing that “Fox News has been relentlessly pushing the line that Joe Biden might be suffering from dementia.” The columnist also categorized commentary about Biden’s near invisibility over the past few months as “the Trumpworld talking point that Biden is hiding in his basement.”
