Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday that they didn't mislead Americans about President Biden's decline or ability to serve despite the president dropping out of the race after being faced with a February 2024 clip of him declaring the debate over Biden's health was "right-wing propaganda."
NBC News' Kristen Welker confronted the senator with a clip of Schumer talking about Biden on February 13, 2024. Schumer said, "His mental acuity is great. It’s fine. It’s as good as it’s been over the years. All this right-wing propaganda that his mental acuity has declined is wrong."
After playing the clip, Welker asked Schumer what he would tell Americans who think they were misled by top Democrats. Schumer reportedly told the president he needed to drop out of the race after the debate.
"We didn't. Let's look at President Biden. He’s had an amazing record. The legislation we passed, one of the most significant groups of legislation since Lyndon Johnson’s great society, putting in 235 judges, a record, and he’s a patriot. He’s a great guy, and when he stepped down he did it on his own because he thought it was better, not only for the Democratic Party, for America. We should all salute him. We should all salute him," Schumer said.
Welker then asked Schumer if he was confident Biden could have served a second term.
"Well I'm not going to speculate. As I said, I think his record is a stellar one, and he’ll go down in history as a really outstanding president," Schumer responded.
The "Meet the Press" panel also discussed the Schumer interview and MSNBC host Symone Sanders Townsend argued Schumer should have pushed back much harder on Welker.

BTTT
Another “vast right wing conspiracy” that was true.
This is what it takes to be a politician: making such a bald-faced reality-defying false statement while keeping a straight face.
Like all Leftists, he could give a crap if everyone points it out. He just pretends it never happened and moves on.
The way they all do.
>>It’s as good as it’s been over the years. All this right-wing propaganda that his mental acuity has declined is wrong
IOW, he’s saying that Plugs has always been flat-line brain dead, therefore no decline.
He’ll go down in history as an outstanding president alright. “The absolute worst.”
The President...of the executive branch...does not pass legislation, chuck. May as well give the president credit for Supreme Court rulings.
Tells me that Symone Sanders Townsend is a lying POS.
Clearing the deck for AOC to replace Chuckie as U.S. Senator (D-NY).
Yeah Chuck you did. So either you're continuing to lie, or you are slipping like Joe wasn't.
In the dictionary under the term “political whore,” there’s a picture of Chuck Schumer
Sure, and Mike Tyson will go down in history as a great jockey.
It’s hard to push back when you don’t have a leg to stand on.
‘Unequivocally!’ MSNBC’s Symone Sanders-Townsend Says Biden ‘Is Great Mentally’ Unlike Trump
After a politician lies their next task is to accuse everyone else of being a crazy conspiracy theorist.
Translation: “He furthered the Progressive agenda by doing whatever he was told to do. That’s all we care about, country be damned.”
Tells you all you need to know about the Dims.
He couldn’t make statements like that unless his constituents believed it. How stupid are these people?
Up next:
Can’t believe lightning doesn’t strike this POS.
