QuoteThe White House tried to hide from the public Joe Biden's rapidly diminishing mental condition for his entire presidency, according to a bombshell report. 

Biden's team hired a vocal coach, put other officials into roles usually occupied by the president, scrapped meetings on his 'bad days', and kept him at arm's length him from his own Cabinet members.

An explosive investigation by The Wall Street Journal has exposed an extensive, deliberate and years-long cover-up that also saw the administration gaslighting those who dared to claim Biden's abilities had deteriorated since he was Barack Obama's vice president.

Holy crap. They lost a billion donor dollars, and now the wolves have come home to roost. Maybe all the pardons should be invalidated too, if the President was known to be unfit at the time?

I knew he was mentally unstable when he chose Kamala for his VP.

I've been saying this since his campaign back in 2020. The entire world knew he was mentally unfit back then, but the gaslighting was so immense they shut down ANYONE who questioned it.

I found a way around the paywall that the WSJ has on the original article. It paints a much worse picture than the cliff notes version.

The right woman in that category would have cleaned up. But they didn't pick that woman.

Chris Cillizza posted to his Youtube channel an apology, that he should have dug in to Biden's mental decline harder while at CNN.

QuoteCillizza acknowledged how Republicans would "regularly ping me" during his time at CNN, asking him why he hadn't addressed Biden's decline and how he would "brush them off" since he had not seen "evidence" of the president's decline.

And not only did he admit to taking the word of the White House, he conceded he felt guilty of "age shaming" Biden.

"The White House and the people around Joe Biden were absolutely adamant that suggesting anything- asking the question about whether he was in some physical, mental or both decline, was offensive. 'How could you? It's age shaming.' And I think that impacted me at some level," Cillizza said. "Because while I did ask the question from time to time... I didn't really push on it, if I'm being honest. Now, once I left CNN and once it became a little bit more clear to me about Biden's age, I think I did write pretty regularly and talk pretty regularly about how I wasn't sure that this guy was up to it. And then obviously, after the June 27 debate, everybody, including me, was writing and talking about it."

The former CNN pundit went on to read excerpts from the Journal report about Biden's limited interactions with his own cabinet members and Democratic lawmakers, as well as the Times' assertion finding it "hard to imagine" Biden lasting in the job for another four years. 

Like a any TRUE journalist would, he took the White House at their word that Biden was fine. I'm honestly getting a little tired of journalist apologizing for not digging deeper into Democrats, that are no longer needed. Remembering the journalists who apologized for not going harder after Clinton's sexual prowess while the "Kavanaughing" was going on. They are still going to do the same thing as soon as their is a democrat running in the 2028 election.

But "now" they will be paying more attention... because their guy isn't in the oval office.

I don't get why the media is labeling this as a "bombshell report" that he's been unfit this entire time.
