The predicament the Democrats find themselves in was caused by their attempt to deceive the voters about the President’s cognitive decline.
The Democratic establishment discovered three things about President Biden during his Friday interview with Clinton operative cum ABC anchorman George Stephanopoulos: First, he is utterly delusional about his first term record and his fitness to remain in office. Second, he’s in denial about the dismal polling numbers that portend his defeat by former President Trump in November. Finally, Biden has no intention of voluntarily withdrawing from the race and is pointedly ignoring the frantic entreaties of other elected Democrats, large-dollar donors and the doyens of the commentariat to do so. He has wanted to be President all his life and he likes the job.
Biden is, of course, cognitively unfit to carry out the duties of the presidency. Moreover, a majority of Americans already know it according to numerous surveys — including a CBS News poll conducted at the end of June. This presents a particularly awkward dilemma for the White House press corps because they consciously ignored Biden’s “problem” for well over three years, right up until the wheels came off during his June 27 presidential debate with Donald Trump. Now that his cognitive limitations are undeniable, and may very well cost him the 2024 election, these “journalists” have expressed shock and dismay. But, as veteran reporter Mark Halperin writes at Fox News, they are the people who buried the story:
The White House press corps was not gaslit by Biden’s aides … The public has been lied to by its government and its free press. Foreign nations, both friends and foe, know that our president is mentally unfit for office, and that there is no one in charge in the White House.
