Former President Joe Biden's announcement of a forthcoming memoir has drawn swift mockery from conservatives, with critics reviving questions about his health, age, and use of an autopen during his presidency.
Critics have taken to social media to express their skepticism, with many questioning the authenticity of the book and whether it was written by Biden himself. Former Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt wrote, "This guy couldn't even sign his own name. He's not writing books. LMAO."
The book, titled "PROMISE ME, AMERICA," is set to chronicle Biden's presidency and reveal the "deeply agonizing calculation" behind his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. The memoir is scheduled for release on November 17, just two weeks after the midterms.
Biden has responded to the criticism by releasing a video statement, in which he said, "It's about the challenges we face as a nation and about the decisions I made and why I made them, leading the country through rebuilding our economy and restoring our democracy after the attack on January 6th."
Social media users have continued to mock Biden's announcement, with some questioning the legitimacy of the book and whether it was written by an autopen. "The first lie of Joe Biden's book launch: 'I've written a book,'" wrote conservative communicator Steve Guest.
Others have raised concerns about Biden's health and mental acuity, with Missouri Republican Rep. Jason Smith questioning whether the autopen was used to write the book. "Did the autopen write this too," he asked.
President Donald Trump has previously criticized Biden's use of the autopen, claiming that the former president didn't know what documents he was signing and that thousands of pardons were void.
The controversy surrounding Biden's memoir has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many users expressing their skepticism about the book's authenticity and the former president's ability to write it himself.
