Biden says his son's "Death wish" tale was invented by Maureen Dowd

[A Perez]

Today, Vice-President Joe Biden told the show 60 Minutes that the report that his son Beau told him to run for President while he was dying is false:

"Some people have written that, you know, Beau on his death bed said, 'Dad, you've got to run,' and, there was this sort of 'Hollywood moment' that — you know, nothing like that ever, ever happened," Biden said. "Beau from the time he was in his 30s — or actually his late 20s — he and Hunter were one of my two most reliable advisors. And, Beau all along thought that I should run

Recall that Maureen Dowd started the rumor in the New York Times, where she wrote:

Beau was losing his nouns and the right side of his face was partially paralyzed. But he had a mission: He tried to make his father promise to run, arguing that the White House should not revert to the Clintons and that the country would be better off with Biden values.

Maureen Dowd must be fire immediately for making stuff up.
