For years, Democrat and their media accomplices have assured us that Joe Biden was “sharp as a tack”, “on top of things” and “nothing gets past him”, etc. etc. etc. ad infinitum, ad nauseam.
And for years, they have been lying to our faces about this.
From Reagan Reese’s article at dailycaller.com (the bold print is mine):
With President Joe Biden’s time in office winding down, dozens of those close to his operations over the years told the Wall Street Journal how aides insulated the 82-year-old and handled his responsibilities as concerns of his fitness increased.
President-elect Donald Trump’s domination of the news cycle since winning the 2024 election has allowed Biden to fade from the national politics scene. But since the 82-year-old dropped out of the presidential race, questions about his physical state, how long the president had been declining and how it was being handled, have remained unanswered. The WSJ interviewed nearly 50 people who have been close to Biden throughout his administration and they detail how staff handled cabinet officials, presidential responsibilities and campaign events.
Biden, who was often prone to gaffes and having an unsteady gait, was typically trailed by aides, Annie Tomasini and Ashley Williams, while participating in events, according to the WSJ. Those aides tried to stay within ear shot or eye distance of the president over the years, often giving him “basic instructions” like when to leave and exit the stage in an event, the outlet reported.
Over the years, some lawmakers saw aides and senior advisers acquire roles that they believed the president should’ve been handling, the WSJ reported. Some cabinet officials, according to the outlet, said they frequently dealt with the president’s advisers rather than the 82-year-old himself.
Is this a surprise to you? Assuming you are reasonably intelligent and have been paying attention to what is in front of your eyes, I would hope not. I – and a good many others – have been writing about Biden’s obviously depleted cognitive state regularly throughout his presidency.
But with mainstream media willing and able to be part of the charade, Biden’s people have shamelessly lied about his condition without fear of being nailed for it.
Shame on them. Shame on most of our mainstream media. And pity for the SIPs who bought in to this lie.
The only silver lining in Biden’s cloud is that by lying about his condition and keeping him in office, we were saved from a Kamala Harris presidency. So at least something good came of it.
