It was just recently in April that I wrote a story about Democrats wishing that Joe Biden would just fade off into the woodwork and stop making appearances that remind the electorate of how diminished he has become.
Ole Joe didn’t evidently get the memo, however, as he doubled down by appearing on ABC’s gabfest “The View” on Thursday and also did an interview with the BBC. Both were sad, mumbling presentations, as the former president at times didn’t seem to know where he was and frequently had a vacant “there’s no one home” look in his eyes. I don’t say that because I enjoy shaming an octogenarian for his apparent mental struggles—it’s his team, especially wife Jill, that I blame for continuing to trot him out there like a circus act.
Democrats are getting increasinlgly frustrated with Biden’s refusal to let go of the limelight because they know one thing: his inability to make a cogent point without the former First Lady’s assistance is a continuing reminder of how they lied through their teeth to us for years and tried to convince America that this man was in any sort of condition to remain as commander-in-chief of the most powerful nation in the world. Shameless.
“Obama Bro.” and “Pod Save America” host Jon Favreau isn’t holding back:
“The answer is, he shouldn’t have run for a second term. And when he did run for a second term, he should have stepped down much earlier after the debate, and his close advisers shouldn’t have told him to run again, and they shouldn’t have told him he was going to win,” Favreau, a former top aide to then-President Obama, said during a Friday episode of his “Pod Save America” podcast.
