Book: Stephanopoulos Described Biden as ‘Heartbreaking’ After Interview
Legal Insurrection ^ | 10 Apr 2025 | Mary Chastain

Posted on 04/11/2025 9:07:48 AM PDT by Rummyfan

The anchor appeared to respond, ‘I don’t think he can serve four more years,'” when asked about Biden from a passerby on the street a few days after the interview.

They all knew. They. All. Knew.

We knew they all knew, too. It’s infuriating.

In his new book Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History, Chris Whipple claims that ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos described former President Joe Biden as “heartbreaking up close” after an interview in July.

The interview happened one week after Biden debated then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Biden dropped out of the race on July 21. He immediately endorsed his VP Kamala Harris.

More from The Washington Examiner:

The book’s author, Chris Whipple, described Biden’s appearance as “hoarse and semi-coherent” during the interview, in which Stephanopoulos asked his questions “gently, like a grandson.”

“Afterward, when I asked the ABC anchor by email for his impressions, he replied: ‘Heartbreaking up close,’” Whipple wrote.

really, there’s nothing new in any of these books that folks who had been paying attention didn’t already know, other than SOME of the exact details of whom knew what, when, and where ...

we all saw vid clips with our own eyes of biden bouncing around like a slow motion human pinball trying to find his way off stage, or distracted by some Easter Bunny or squirrel or such, until some handler grabbed him or pointed to where to go ... his jerky gait alone told the story of severe dementia ...

so, even before the debate, we all knew that biden was a walking zombie with a brain functioning at the level of a cauliflower and wasn’t the one running the show ... we also knew that “Dr.” Jill and some circle of insiders plus the media were gas-lighting the public because they were loath to give up the power, privileges, and phony adoration that comes with the highest office in the land ... and of course, there was the thrill and power of being the REAL power for running the Republic, with essentially zero restraint [or personal consequences] on their ability to implement the most “progressive” and most destructive policies in the history of our Republic ...

turns out the insider circle was who we thought they were, that they were the ones really running our Republic like we thought they were, and that the media knew the truth all along like we knew they had to know ...

bottom line, anyone paying the least bit of attention to the so-called biden administration who continues to vote for Democrats is knowingly voting for liars and gaslighters ...

They ALL knew about it.
The hope was Biden was going to die in office.

Nobody was as duplicitous as drjill. She cheered him on, gushing, "you answered every question,"
as Americans were aghast having just witnessed a half-baked president muttering nonsense.

drjill saw Biden up closer than anyone.....she saw his decline, his impaired mental state.
Yet she calculatingly figured dumb voters wouldn't notice, that his very presence assured a win.

All that covered up and all who did Biden’s job for him including Dr Jill, need to be in prison.

I think Dr Jill is the most culpable in this scenario.

Liberal pols don't roil me nearly as much as those who vote for them. I've told Biden voters, including family members, they are too stupid to discuss politics with me.

When Joe called a college student a "lying dog-faced pony soldier" at a campaign event in 2020, intelligent folk instantly knew his run for the presidency was denying some village an idiot.

The disappearing corneas were also disturbing.

Biggest gaslighting operation in history hands-down.

Right up there with, "There was no widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election."

Agree. Pol whores get paid to pretend to be stupid. (They actually know the truth.) Voters have no excuse to BE stupid.

"I don’t think he can serve four more years."

He didn't serve the first four years.

What is heartbreaking is that so many so-called Americans gladly assisted in the destruction of our country for personal gain.

Joe’s stupidity was heartbreaking long before dementia set in. A nasty corrupt piece of work. A drunk who got his wife and kid killed and then used the govt apparatus to shift blame to the other driver.

I’m not a doctor but it was evident to anyone who has ever had a parent or loved one with dementia, that Joe Biden not only had it, but it was advanced and this was while he was running the first time...
