Nikki Haley Suggests Biden Should Undergo a ‘Mental Competency Test’

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has called for President Joe Biden to immediately take a mental competency test following Thursday’s special counsel report that revealed “significant limitations” with his memory.

Although special counsel Robert Hur decided not to prosecute Biden, 81, for “willfully” retaining and sharing highly classified documents, he did highlight the president’s “elderly man with a poor memory” in his public report.

“He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died,” read a snippet from Hur’s 388-page report.

“Joe Biden can’t remember major events in his life, like when he was vice president or when his son died,” said Haley in a tweet. “That is sad, but it will be even sadder if we have a person in the White House who is not mentally up to the most important job in the world. Joe Biden should take a mental competency test immediately, and it should be shared with the public.”

Haley initially called for mental competency tests for politicians over the age of 75 when she kicked off her presidential campaign a year ago. This would also include Donald Trump, 77, who currently has a significant lead over Haley in the GOP primary.

In a prime-time address Thursday, Biden rejected Hur’s comments on his memory, and also mistakenly referred to Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as the “president of Mexico,” when in fact he is the president of Egypt.
