Just when you think you’ve heard everything there is to hear about how Democrats covered up Joe Biden’s dramatic physical and cognitive decline as president, there’s more.
As RedState recently reported, there was a point late in his ill-fated re-election campaign when Biden’s handlers had to use fluorescent tape on the floor to keep him from wandering off during a speaking engagement. That was revealed in a new book entitled “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” and more excerpts have been released.
One incident involved Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), with Biden seemingly not knowing who the Congressman was. He then had to coach the former president into remembering him.
Swalwell had not been invited to the White House often, like most members of Congress, but when Biden and Swalwell came face to face, Biden didn’t immediately recognize the congressman, according to the book.
Swalwell needed to note personal details to remind Biden of who he is.
Swalwell may not be the most well-known politician out there, but he had been a fairly visible part of the Democratic Party for over a decade, including meeting Biden face-to-face several times. The former president not knowing who the congressman was should have been a major red flag, but the cover-up took precedence over everything, and everyone involved stayed quiet on the matter.
In another part of the book, one of Biden’s former aides shared how they would use a make-up artist to cover up how deteriorated his physical appearance had become.
