Former Vice President Joe Biden dismissed a question this week about whether he has taken a cognitive test an issue President Donald Trump pushed into the spotlight while boasting of his mental capabilities and attacking Biden.
The Democratic presidential candidate was asked about the test by CBS News' Errol Barnett during a recent appearance at the convention for the National Association of Black Journalists and National Association of Hispanic Journalists (which is set to air in full on Thursday).
Biden, 77, compared the question to being tested for drug use for no reason.
"No, I haven't taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test?" he said during a clip from the interview, shared by CBS This Morning.

When Barnett followed up with a question about Trump's touting of his own "unbelievable" results on a cognitive test last month, Biden laughed. (Despite Trump's insistence that his test was difficult, reporters pointed out that it covered basic memory and other mental skills like identifying animals.)
"Well, if he can't figure out the difference between an elephant and a lion, I don't know what the hell he's talking about," Biden said, before adding that he's "looking forward" to the debate stage.

(31,261 posts)I hope that Joe repeatedly call Trump a Liar before responding to one of Trumps lies during the debates. Liar and lies need to be used over and over when dealing with Trump.

(14,998 posts)is this (only because it is a little provocative and confrontational, and Biden should stay above it): why did Trump's doctors give him that test? That's the untold story.
Biden alludes to this when he asks "why would I?" But others should address it more explicitly.
Doctors don't go around randomly administering tests willy-nilly. They administer tests based on having reasons to administer tests. What happened that led them to decide to administer this test, to this patient, at this time? WHAT. HAPPENED. WITH. TRUMP?
