On Tuesday’s Morning Joe, suggesting he had merely made a “mistake,” Joe Scarborough said he “got it wrong” when “I talked about Biden at his best.”
No, Joe. You didn’t make a “mistake.” And it’s not that you “got it wrong.” You lied. You looked into the camera, and angrily lied to your viewers. As we noted at the time, you said:
“Start your tape right now, because I’m about to tell you the truth. And f-you if you can’t handle the truth. This version of Biden intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever. Not a close second. And I’ve known him for years. The Brzezinskis have known him for 50 years. If it weren’t the truth, I wouldn’t say it.”
It wasn’t the truth, but you did say it, Joe.
Biden was already exhibiting unmistakable signs of mental acuity loss as early as 2019. That’s why his handlers hid him in a Delaware basement during the 2019 primary and subsequent 2020 campaign.
But Scarborough’s “tell you the truth” about the best Biden ever didn’t come back then. It came five years later, in March of 2024, at a time when, as disclosed in the Tapper/Thompson book, Biden’s aides were so alarmed by his mental and physical incapacity that they contemplated putting him in a wheelchair.
