Republican Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida ripped President Joe Biden Friday, calling the president’s comments about classified documents found in his Wilmington, Delaware, home’s garage “idiotic.”
“I mean, it was just the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard. You could tell he went off script. Their script has been very short,” Donalds told “Fox and Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade. “The — the White House press secretary has very little to say because they’re trying to keep it as tight as possible, because this looks terrible for Joe Biden.”
Biden told reporters Thursday that the garage the documents were kept in was “a locked garage, so it’s not like it’s sitting out on the street.”
“When he had these documents he was a former vice president of the United States. There is only one person in the country that can declassify information that is a president,” Donalds continued.
“Presidents when they leave office, they do take documents with them, but when the vice president leaves office or anybody else, you can’t take classified information with you. It is clear cut. It’s that simple.”
