Let us join the world in celebrating the essential role older adults play in our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For many critics, the proclamation is somewhat ironic given that the president, who is 79-years-old and known for his numerous gaffes, has been accused of suffering from elder abuse.<\/p>\n<p>In March, after Biden forgot the name of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, California Congressman Mike Garcia (R) openly declared that the president was being taken advantage of and was a victim of elder abuse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank you both,\u201d Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/washington-secrets\/biden-bumbles-a-grievous-example-of-elder-abuse-dangerous-says-lawmaker\">said<\/a> during a White House ceremony. \u201cAnd I want to thank Sec- \u2014 the former general. I keep calling him \u2018General.\u2019 My \u2014 the guy who runs that outfit over there.
