Biden Repeats Same Story Back-to-Back

President Joe Biden recently spoke at a campaign where he repeated the same story two different times within minutes of each other.
On Wednesday, the current 46th president was speaking at a campaign reception in Manhattan where he told a story about the 2017 Charlottesville riots and his decision to run for president in 2020, which he repeated a second time just minutes later.
During remarks at the event sponsored by billionaire real estate heiress Amy Goldman Fowler, the 80-year-old president described how he was enjoying retirement following two terms as former President Barack Obama’s vice president when “along came, in August of 2017, Charlottesville, Virginia.”
“You remember those folks walking out of the fields literally carrying torches, with Nazi swastikas, holding them forward, singing the same vicious, antisemitic bile — the same exact bile — bile that was sung in — in Germany in the early ‘30s. And a young woman was killed. A young woman was killed,” he said. “The former guy [then-President Donald Trump] was asked, ‘What do you think would happen?’ He was the sitting president. And he said, ‘I thought there were some very fine people on both sides.’ And I mean this sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, that’s when I decided I — I was going to run again.”
According to the White House transcript, after the president explained how his extended family encouraged him to challenge Trump, he began to tell the same story all over again, prompting confused looks and smirks from audience members.
“You know, you may remember that, you know, those folks from Charlottesville, as they came out of the fields and carrying those swastikas, and remember the ones with the torches and the Ku — accompanied by the Ku Klux Klan. And in addition to that, they had — there were white supremacists,” he said. “Anyway, they were making the big case about how terrible this was. And a young woman was killed in the process and my predecessor, as I said, was asked what he thought. He said, ‘There are some very fine people on both sides.’ Well, that kept ringing in my head.And so, I couldn’t, quite frankly, remain silent any longer so, I decided I would run. And it became — I ran because I thought everything this country stood for was up for grabs for the first time in my career.”
Users on X, the social media formerly known as Twitter, reacted to the pool report by promoting it as proof that the president’s advanced age has become a major issue, a claim that he has faced from both political parties since taking office.
A social media post from a National Review contributor, Pradheep Shanker, said: “But we aren’t supposed to care about his age and mental state.”
Austin, Texas, attorney Adam Loewy also chimed in and said: “It would be elder abuse if he runs again, he’s not making it to 86.”
According to a recent Associated Press-NORC poll, 77% of Americans believe that Biden is too senile to run for a second term. While an unsurprising 89% of Republicans agree, 69% of Democrats similarly agree that Biden is no longer mentally healthy enough for the position.

Why do supporters argue that the repetition of the Charlottesville story is justified and highlights important issues in the country
President Joe Biden has recently come under scrutiny for repeating the same story at a campaign event in Manhattan. The event, sponsored by billionaire real estate heiress Amy Goldman Fowler, featured Biden discussing the 2017 Charlottesville riots and his decision to run for president in 2020.
During his remarks, the 46th president described how he was enjoying retirement following his two terms as former President Barack Obama’s vice president when the events of Charlottesville unfolded. He vividly recalled the images of individuals carrying torches with Nazi swastikas and singing hateful, antisemitic chants similar to those in Nazi Germany. He emphasized that a young woman lost her life during the riots.
The controversy erupted when President Biden repeated the same story shortly after. This repetition prompted confusion and smirks from the audience members. The White House transcript confirmed the repetition, leaving many questioning why the president chose to reiterate the same narrative.
The story revolves around President Donald Trump’s response to the Charlottesville riots. According to President Biden, when Trump was asked about the incident, he famously remarked that there were “very fine people on both sides.” Biden claims that it was this statement from his predecessor that compelled him to run for president.
The decision to repeat the story raises questions about the president’s recollection and delivery. Some observers speculate that it could be a result of aging or a momentary lapse in memory. Others suggest that it could be a deliberate strategy to emphasize the significance of the Charlottesville riots and the importance of his candidacy. Regardless, the repetition at a campaign event raises concerns about the president’s ability to deliver varied and coherent messages to the public.
Critics argue that the repetition undermines the president’s credibility and ability to effectively communicate his policy agenda. They point out that a leader’s ability to articulate ideas clearly and concisely is crucial for public trust and confidence. They argue that repeating the same story within minutes diminishes the impact and effectiveness of the president’s message.
On the other hand, supporters argue that the importance of the Charlottesville story justifies its repetition. They contend that the president’s decision to run for office was deeply influenced by the events of Charlottesville and Trump’s response to them. By repeating the story, they believe President Biden is highlighting the importance of addressing racial tensions and promoting unity in the country.
Overall, President Biden’s repetition of the Charlottesville story at a campaign event has sparked debate and raised questions about his communication abilities. Whether it was an unintended repetition or a strategic choice, it serves as a reminder of the challenges that leaders face in delivering consistent and compelling messages to the public. As President Biden continues his term, it remains to be seen how his communication style will evolve and adapt to the demands of his role.
