One of the most bizarre subplots of the 2024 presidential race is that\u00a0being charged<\/a>\u00a0with dozens<\/a>\u00a0of<\/a>\u00a0felonies<\/a>\u00a0has helped\u00a0Donald Trump<\/strong>\u00a0raise money<\/a>\u00a0off of being an accused criminal.\u00a0Joe Biden,<\/strong> meanwhile, has zero indictments to his name.\u00a0And while that should be a good thing, it doesn\u2018t exactly get the people revved up like an all-caps subject line \u00e0 la \u201cTHEY’RE TAKING MY FREEDOM AND YOU COULD BE NEXT UNLESS YOU DONATE BELOW NOW!\u201d<\/p>\n Still, the president did<\/em> just rake in a large amount of cash\u2014thanks to special counsel Robert Hur<\/strong>\u2019s decision to describe him<\/a> as an \u201celderly man with a poor memory,\u201d and Jill Biden<\/strong>\u2019s decision to give the guy a piece of her mind.<\/p>\n Per NBC News<\/a>:<\/p>\n First lady Jill Biden was deeply offended and personally motivated to issue a response after special counsel Robert Hur\u00a0released his report last week\u00a0alleging that the president could not remember when their son died and struggled to recall other key details, according to two people familiar with the discussions…Biden\u2019s message Saturday quickly raised more money than any other email the campaign has sent out since the president launched his re-election campaign in April, a campaign official said. The person would not disclose how much it raised.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The lengthy statement did not include a specific financial ask to supporters, but it did include a donate button at the end of the note, which was signed: \u201cLove, Jill.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n In her message, the first lady said the notion that the president has memory problems is \u201cinaccurate,\u201d and that Hur\u2019s claims to the contrary are clearly \u201cpersonal political attacks.\u201d Responding to the special counsel\u2019s assertion that Joe Biden had difficulty remembering exactly when his son Beau died, Jill Biden wrote: \u201cI don\u2019t know what this Special Counsel was trying to achieve. We should give everyone grace, and I can\u2019t imagine someone would try to use our son\u2019s death to score political points. If you\u2019ve experienced a loss like that, you know that you don\u2019t measure it in years \u2014 you measure it in grief. May 30th is a day forever etched on our hearts. It shattered me, it shattered our family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n As a senior campaign adviser told NBC News, \u201cIf the special counsel is going to use [the first lady’s] dead son as a political weapon, she\u2019s going to have something to say about it \u2014 so she said it.\u201d<\/p>\n Shortly after Hur\u2019s report was released, the president told reporters his memory is \u201cfine,\u201d adding, of the special counsel\u2019s claims re: Beau Biden\u2019s death, \u201cHow in the hell dare he raise that?\u201d Democrats have called the report\u00a0a\u00a0politically motivated<\/a>\u00a0smear job<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
