57. I think Biden might have just been snubbing him - for good reason

Inappropriate to confront a vet at D-Day commemorations, even if that vet is trashing you publicly as too left-leaning, so Joe avoided acknowledging him?

Joe might be OK with saying "Nice to see you" to everyone at a Christmas party - even a rep who inserted himself into the withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 . At the time, though, government officials complained that he and his Republican travel buddy were taking valuable attention - and seats - away from evacuees, and flat-out accused them of just wanting to get in front of cameras. Moulton responded that they went to give "guidance" to the people actually in charge, whom he characterized as incompetent.

Gee, Joe must not not remember their great friendship in 2015? That's why he acted as though they weren't old friends?

Is it likely that this opportunistic former presidential candidate (2020), and he alone, has "proof" that Joe Biden is sliding into dementia and dutifully called up the press to report it? I don't think so.
