LOS ANGELES.–As 82-year-old President Joe Biden finishes his term, Democrats and the press point fingers at each other for hiding Joe’s cognitive decline for at least two years but maybe his entire presidency. NBC’s Kristen Welker asked 74-year-old Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) Jan. 5 about his statements during the campaign about Biden’s sharpness. Schumer called statements about Biden’s cognitive decline “right wing propaganda.” Welker asked Schumer whether he and other Democrats, including 60-year-old Vice President Kamala Harris, “misled” the American public about Biden’s obvious cognitive decline. When Biden debated President-elect Donald Trump June 27, 2024 the whole world saw what Democrats covered up, the obvious cognitive impairments, leaving the U.S. without a real commander-in-chief. Schumer continued to blow smoke to Welker.
Every bit as guilty as Democrats, Welker pretends she and other news outlets were duped by Democrats, rather than joining Democrats in covering up Biden’s disabilities. “Look, we didn’t,” Schumer denied, misleading the press and the public about Biden’s decline. After the CNN debate, it was obvious to everyone that Biden was not fit for office. Even with CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash doing everything possible to rehab Biden in the debate, the public saw a hobbled president, wracked with dementia and memory impairments. Schumer likes to defend Biden’s record not deal with simple facts about Biden’s fitness for duty. Because of Biden’s abysmal decision making the U.S. finds itself funding a war with the Kremlin in Ukraine and unable Middle East to extinguish Middle East wars that threaten to inflame the region for generations, all because Biden was not fit for duty.
Schumer cannot be trusted for any honesty when it comes to Biden, a true Democrat political hack, only trying to buffalo the press and advance the party agenda. When asked about whether he deceived the public, Schumer answered NBC’s Welker. “The legislation we passed, one of the most significant groups of legislation since Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society,” Schumer told Welker. What does that have to do with Biden’s fitness for office? But let there be no mistake, Welker’s Comcast network, home of NBC and MSNBC, worked feverishly during the 2024 election to dupe the public. When voters gave the final word on Nov. 5, 2024, they rejected Democrats and the press, largely because of glaring dishonesty when it came to Biden’s mental acuity. When it comes to the future, Schumer embarrasses Democrats and assures that 2026 Midterm elections won’t be any different.
How can voters trust Democrats and the press, when they continue to deny their obvious role in lying to the public about Biden’s fitness for duty? All the fake excuses given after the Nov. 5, 2024 blowout only antagonize the voting public that they can’t trust Democrat and the mainstream press in the future. If any one thing killed it for Democrats in 2024, it was the dishonesty over Biden’s fitness to run for four more years. By the time former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and former President Barack Obama ousted Biden from the 2024 race, it was already too late for voters. Voters saw firsthand that the Democrat Party and the press dupe the public into thinking Biden was fit for office. Voters saw the real Biden at the June 27, 2024 CNN debate, watching Biden act incoherently in front of 70 million viewers. After the debate, all the Democrat and press lies came out.
Trump had been saying since 2020 that Biden was not fit for obvious for cognitive decline back then. He ran a Covid-19 campaign avoiding the press, letting his strategists and handlers craft campaign ads to keep Biden away from interacting with the press. So, in 2024 there was nothing new about Biden’s cognitive decline or the Democrats and press cover-up designed to gaslight the public. Biden beat Trump by over 7 million popular votes, receiving 81,283,501 votes to Trump’s 74,233,975, a number unequaled in 2024. Trump beat Kamala by 2.3 million popular votes, 77,303,573 to 75,019,257, a remarkable feat since Republicans had not won the popular vote since before the 2000 election, when former President George W. Bush beat former Vice President Al Gore. Biden’s record number of votes during a pandemic year cannot be explained by election experts.
Democrats and the press share an equal share of the blame for covering up Biden’s obvious cognitive disabilities in the 2024. Voters got fed up being gaslighted, listening to Kamala say Joe was “sharp as a tack.” Democrats and the press now ask the public to move on from the 2024 election, ignoring the conspiracy between Democrats and the press. “I would prefer that we look forward to what is going to be coming at us with this administration. That is going to create enough challenges for us. I’m focused on that,” said Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) one of the most partisan, Trump-hating Democrats in the senate. Voters won’t forget all the Democrat witch hunts against Trump, including the upcoming Jan. 10, 2020 sentencing for his May 31, 2024 conviction of 34 felonies in the so-called hush-money case. Trump faces more gaslighting by the mainstream press.
