Biden once again incorrectly says ‘We lost our son in Iraq’

President Biden said Friday in North Carolina that “we lost our son in Iraq” — repeating a factual error he’s made at least three other times in the past year.

Biden, 80, spoke of his late son Beau’s death while telling a community college audience about how he intended to retire before ultimately running for president in 2020.

“Barack [Obama] and I spent eight years together and then the new administration came in. And in the meantime, things changed in our life, in our family — I lost my son, we lost our son in Iraq,” Biden said.

Beau Biden died of brain cancer at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., in May 2015 — about 20 months before his father left office as veep.

The elder Biden is the oldest-ever president, and his repeated misstatements about his son’s death have stoked questions about his mental acuity as he seeks re-election.

He would be 86 if he completes a second four-year term in January 2029.

Biden told US troops in Japan last month, “We lost him in Iraq.”

He said in October that Beau “lost his life in Iraq” and in November that Iraq was “where my son died.”

Beau Biden, Delaware’s former attorney general, died at age 46 from glioblastoma.

He was deployed to Iraq for almost a year in 2008 and 2009.

Biden correctly said on Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery that his son “didn’t perish in the battlefield” but of cancer after returning.

In many public remarks, he says that he believes his son’s cancer was caused by “burn pits” used to dispose of potentially toxic waste in Iraq.

A Washington Post-ABC poll released this month found that just 32% of voters believe Biden has the mental sharpness needed to be president — versus 54% who said Biden’s leading Republican challenger, former President Donald Trump, 76, was sharp enough mentally.

Biden made the error Friday shortly before the Justice Department unsealed a 38-count indictment against Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents after leaving office in 2021.

Trump is the first former president to face federal criminal charges.

Biden declined to comment on Trump’s legal peril.

Biden is under investigation by special counsel Robert Hur for allegedly mishandling classified records from his vice presidency and Senate years at his Delaware home and pre-presidency DC office.
