LOS ANGELES.–First Lady Jill Biden, 72, proved today she’s a clever smoke blower, defending her husband from Special Counsel Robert Ur’s 345-page report exposing 81-year-old President Joe Biden’s fuzzy thinking and memory impairments. Ur said Joe couldn’t recall when he served as Vice President under former President Barack Obama or when his son Beau died. Biden expressed great outrage over Ur allegedly asking him about his son’s death. Joe told a hastily called press conference Feb. 9 that he resented Ur asking him about his son’s death, implying in deliberately withheld the requested information. Unnamed individuals familiar with his five-hour interview over Oct. 7, 8 said Ur never asked him directly about his son’s death. “We should give everyone grace, and I can’t imagine someone would try to use our son’s death to score political points,” Jill said to Democrat donors in a letter.
Jill knows exactly what’s in the transcript, knowing Joe was never asked by Ur directly to recall his son’s death. “If you’ve experienced loss like that, you know that you don’t measure it in years—you measure it in grief,” Jill said, trying her best to cover-up her husband’s cognitive and memory problems. “Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business,” Joe said, showing that tried to find any excuse why he couldn’t recall when his son Beau died. Most people think the First Lady is above the fray but, in reality, she’s more involved in his reelection campaign than anyone, including Joe’s sister Valerie Owens. Jill knows the recent ABC News poll that indicated 86% of U.S. voters think Joe is too old and disabled to run for as second term. Jill, like others in the Biden camp, have done everything to cover-up Joe’s age related cognitive decline.
May 30th is a day forever etched in our hearts,” Jill said, regarding Beau’s death from brain cancer in 2015. Diverting the public attention away from Joe’s memory impairments, Jill tried to dismiss it as a form of grief, not dementia. But why was it that Joe couldn’t recall when he served as Vice President under former President Barack Obama? Surely, someone with any intact memory knows when Obama served as president or when, on the same dates, he served as Vice President. But Joe couldn’t answer Ur’s question, nothing to do with Beau, but simply when Joe served as Vice President. It’s farfetched to think that Joe couldn’t recall because he still suffers from grief over Beau’s death over three years before he served as Vice President. Jill wants the public to excuse Joe’s memory lapses. “Believe me, like anyone who has lost a child, Beau and his death never leaves him,” Jill said.
NBC News confirmed today with sources familiar with Ur’s two-day questioning of Biden said that Ur never asked Joe directly about Beau’s death, precisely because of the sensitivity to the issue. But in discussing other issues, Ur was able to find out Joe had no idea the year Beau died or, for that matter, when he served as Vice President. Does Jill think this is all a political stunt trying to ascertain Joe’s fitness to sever four more years? Jill has no problem vouching for him but she’s not disinterested, she wants to continue her role as First Lady, as do other members of Biden’s White House who want to stay employed for four more years. But Jill doesn’t ask what’s good for the country, knowing her husband funds a proxy war in Ukraine with the Kremlin, making Russia and the United States mortal enemies. Does Jill think that’s good for the country, like Joe?
House Republicans want to clear up any controversy from Ur’s report, essentially exonerating Biden in his classified documents case. Whatever the DOJ’s thinks differently about former President Donald Trump, Biden is off the hook at least for unlawful management of classified documents. Ur’s report raised a different can of worms taking about Biden’s faulty memory. Former U.S. Atty. Preet Bharara said it was “gratuitous and superfluous” to comment about Biden’s failed memory. But the public has a right to know the facts about the commander-in-chief. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said no one with dementia can serve as president of the United States. First Lady Jill Biden only defends her husband rather than see what’s good for the country. Given Biden’s domestic and foreign policy decisions, it certainly raises questions about Joe’s judgment.
Listening to Jill try explain away Joe’s responses to his Special Counsel interview should surprise no one because she, and her sister-in-law Valerie Owens, are running the White House. Joe is 81, that’s true, but he’s 81 doing more in an hour than most people do in a day. Joe has wisdom, empathy and wisdom,” Jill said of her husband. “His age, with his experience and expertise, is an incredible asset and he proves it every day,” showing she has zero credibility. Does Jill really think it shows wisdom to undermine decades of diplomacy, détente and arms control with the Kremlin. When she talks of Joe’s expertise, what exactly does she refer to? He’s not an economist or foreign policy scholar. Joe’s a career politician who began his career as U.S. Senator from Delaware at age 29. Jill has only one objective defending Joe, helping him get reelected this year.
