Joe Biden stumbles all over when asked about packing the court, staff escorts cameras out of the event

We’re guessing this video is from today because as Twitchy reported, Joe Biden lifted his surprise lid and made an in-person appearance in Chester, Pa., less than 20 minutes from his home. We’re guessing today because he says he thinks they’re voting on Amy Coney Barrett today (they are, so good for him on keeping up with current events).

Barrett came up in response to a question about packing the courts, his position on which he told a local reporter voters didn’t deserve to know, since the people asking were probably Republicans anyway. He’s since said packing the court depends on “how things go.” We didn’t get to hear his complete remarks, though, because it looks as though campaign staffers escorted the press out of the event as Biden began to stumble.

This is really bad. Worse than the "George" bit.

Someone please help this poor man.

I was going to make some joke about medication, but that’s just pitiful to watch.

I'm trying to be fair, but I will say this does not look good. He falls back on phrases like 'Here's the deal' and 'Keep in mind' to stall for time because his mind is not sharp enough to come up with answers in a timely manner. We all do this, but he looks like he HAS to do this

That, and he uses, "Com' on!" to punctuate statements because he doesn't know how to explain why something is supposed to be bad or unbelievable. IE "he says this thing… Com'on!"

When he forgets what he was about to say, he says “I shouldn’t say anything about that.” All his lines are from one stump speech he has memorized and he repeats bits and pieces of it in every public statement.

This is sad and scary.

Here's the deal…wheres my teleprompter?

We didn’t get to hear the end of his answer, so we’re going to have to assume it still depends on what happens whether President Biden packs the Supreme Court.
