Jen Psaki insists she 'never saw' diminished Biden while working as press secretary
Fox News ^ | 5/02/25 | Kristine Parks

MSNBC host and former White House press secretary Jen Psaki insisted in a new interview that she never saw signs that former President Joe Biden had declined while she worked for him.

"I never saw that person —not a single time, and I was in the Oval Office every day, that was on that debate stage," Psaki said on the "Mixed Signals" podcast about Biden's performance during the June 2024 presidential debate which raised alarms about his fitness to serve another term. He dropped out the following month and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him as the Democratic nominee.

"I'm not a doctor. Aging happens quite quickly," Psaki added on the Semafor podcast that was published Friday.

The former Biden aide, who left the White House in May 2022, said she hadn't seen him in person in the two-and-a-half years afterward leading up to the November election.

But she warned against people using the term "cover-up" to describe how the White House responded to questions about the president's age during that time.

"'Cover-up' is a very loaded term," Psaki said, adding that people typically use that expression when talking about a crime.

"People use that term as related to Watergate. Or the covering up of not sharing public information about a war," she continued. "I think it's a bit of a dangerous term."

Psaki was also hesitant to criticize the media when asked if the press should've been "more aggressive" in covering the "pretty big story" about the president's health.

That night was incredible. Voters at home were supposed to see and hear the cheering crowd and be reinforced in sticking with Biden despite “one bad night in a decades long career.”

Remember, millions of voters DID believe it and are walking around as you go places today.

the EXACT way I speak to my little dog, Daisy

I have a strong feeling Daisy is smarter than Joe and Jill---and Psaki---put together.

As a fellow sophisticated critic of fine Three Stooges cinema I defer to your judgment.

Both were great, though.

The complete and utter contempt with which the Biden regime holds Americans was never more evident.

They put a demented birdbrain on a debate stage figuring Americans would accept his gibberish.

Clearly.....they already had the “winning votes” ready to roll......like they did in 2020.

Why would she lie like this ?
Or was she so mentally diminished herself she didn’t notice ?

When did Joe start using the fake Oval Office TV studio so that he could read off of his giant flatscreen TV type teleprompter? Every media person in that room was complicit in hiding his decline.

A huge clue.

When Joe started using the fake Oval Office TV studio.......

He was so impaired, he needed to have a giant flatscreen TV type teleprompter.


Every media person in that room saw this.....and was complicit in hiding his decline.

Biden in fake Oval Office TV studio......built at taxpayers' expense.

He was so impaired, he needed a giant flatscreen TV type teleprompter.

“ So is she lying or just that clueless?”

Well, one must consider she’s a democrat, and her previous job required her to lie incessantly to the American people on just about a daily basis; therefore, it’s easy to surmise that anything she says is suspect.

I know-I am hopeful this woke some people up who may have been oblivious.

As you and I have both observed, all you had to do was look at the guy, and you could easily tell.
