George Stephanopoulos, fo𝐆rmer Bill Clinton adviser and the ultimate Democratic insider, held an intꦛervention masquerading as an interview Friday night.
Rather than ask tough questions about President Biden’s mental deficiencies and the message it sends to our allies and enemies, he begged in a dozen different ways:
Do you really think you can beat Donald Trump?
Are you fooling yourself about 🌃how sharp you are?
Please Grampa Joe, hand over the car keys!
“George George George Geroge,” Biden patronized with every question.
Nothing about Biden’s demeanor or his answers was reassuring.
He refused to have a cognitive test or even an 💖independent medical exam.
He said the proof of his lack of dementia was that he “created” jobs, a lie which he can never let go.
There was a bit about single-handedly rescuing the computer chip industry and NATO, then trailing off into, “well . . .”
“Look.”
“C’mon.”
“George.”
What to know about the calls for President Biden to drop out of the 2024 race:
- President Biden’s poor performance in the first 2024 presidential debate left some Democrats unsure of his fitness for office and future as the party’s candidate.
- More than a dozen congressional Democrats have joined in calling for Biden’s exit from the race. Former Biden supporter George Clooney echoed these calls in an op-ed published in the New York Times just weeks after he helped lead a record-breaking fundraiser for the Democrat.
- Democratic voters have continued to raise concerns about Biden’s nomination since the debate, with speculations and suggestions for replacement nominees running rampant.
- Biden’s former running mate Barack Obama has reportജedly been trying to pressure him to drop out, and had prior knowledge of Clooney’s op-ed. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi allegedly told Biden🐼 he could not beat former President Donald Trump this 🧜time around.
- As the Democratic National Convention approaches, California delegates for the Democratic Party are reportedly in disarray as debate over the president’s chances of re-election threatens to tear the party apart.
- However, the Biden campaign has denied any plans for Biden to bow out and for Kamala Harris to step in as the Democratic nominee. Sources close to the president believe he might not be willing to drop out, while other sources claim he is “receptive” to giving up on a second term.
Stephanopoulos rightly pointed out that “exhaustion” was a weird excuse, considering he had more than a week of rest at Camp David (with 11 am work calls and afternoon naps).
No, I was sick, Biden claimed, bad cold.
“Bad night,” he insisted, repeating a scripted talking point.
Just an episode.
He previously told a﷽ group of governors that the answer was simple: No m♊ore nights.

If you really wanted to comfort the American public, you would agree to more than a 22-minute interview with a friendly former🔯 Democratic operative, pre-taped before your early bedtime.
You would 𝔍have Biden walk into the briefing room and take questions from all comers.
But he won’t, because he can’t.

The facade has been lifted, and trying to stitch it back together again with a series of early afternoon, stage-managed teleprompter speeches ain’t going to cut it.
The piece de🦹 resistance was when Biden was asked about his dismal poll numbers.
He just pretended like they didn’t exist.
“I don’t believe that’s my approval rating. That’s not what our polls show,” Biden said.
Stephanopoulos was 🥂stunne✨d, and with him every Democratic elite.
Really?
Denial, or senile?
Either way, Biden’s not fit for the office, and has entered that stubborn stage of grumpy old man that wants you all off his lawn.
“If the Lord A♚lmighty said get out of the race, I’d get out of the race,” he said.
“The Lord Almighty’s not coming down.”
Maybe no🦹t, but the voters are g♎oing to come down hard in November.
Democrats don’t have a prayer.
