US President Joe Biden's recurring factual error regarding his late son's death has once again come into the spotlight, raising concerns about his mental acuity. During a speech in North Carolina, the 80-year-old president erroneously stated, "I lost my son, we lost our son in Iraq." In reality, President Biden's son, Beau Biden, tragically passed away from brain cancer in May 2015, nearly 20 months before his father's tenure as vice president came to an end. The elder Biden's repetitive misstatements about his son's death have fueled speculation about his mental sharpness as he pursues re-election. He has also expressed his belief that his son's cancer was caused by the exposure to "burn pits," which were used to dispose of potentially toxic waste in Iraq.
