confuses cause of death of son

Washington. On Friday, the president of the United States, Joe Biden, experienced a strange situation by confusing the reason for the death of his eldest son, which occurred in 2015, which generated concern about his health status.

In a speech in Colorado, the US president assured that his son Beau Biden died during his military service in Iraq when in fact, despite the fact that his son did participate in the war, he died of brain cancer in 2015.

“I say this as the father of a man who won the Bronze Star, the conspicuous service medal, and lost his life in Iraq,” the US official said.

Beau Biden served as a reservist in the Delaware Army National Guard and received a Bronze Star, however he died years after participating in the Middle East war.

This is not the first strange episode starring the US president. Recently, during a speech at the White House, he sought out Congresswoman Jackie Walorski, who passed away in August of this year. A few weeks ago, he admitted that he lied about being arrested when he was trying to see Nelson Mandela and claimed that he entered the country’s Senate “720 years ago”.

From the White House the issue is handled under strict secrecy and it is unknown if it is about episodes of confusion or a physical / mental health problem.

The mistakes Biden has made are the target of criticism from Republicans.
