Democratic governors lashed out Friday against a report from special counsel Robert Hur, which cleared the president of wrongdoing on his handling of classified information but took digs at his age and memory.

“I smell a rat,” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a surrogate for President Joe Biden’s reelection, told reporters when asked about the Hur report.

    Is there a point at which you should be able to recognize that you are unfit to do a job and resign? I wouldn’t expect Trump to ever do that, but I thought democrats were running and the basis that they are that competent. If you can not do your duty because of external affairs, it is your duty to step down and fill the role with someone who can. This is expected of me, but not of our commander in chief? This isn’t partisan, this is simple acknowledgment of the oath that is sworn to uphold.

      He’s one of the most effective president’s we’ve had. He doesn’t need to prove it, he’s showing it.

      I’d assume since you’re not partisan you’d see that.

      He’s old, yeah. He’s doing a great job. I hope he keeps doing it.

      He’s been the greatest President in my lifetime and I’m so sick of us having to constantly push back against the ongoing denial.
