Ex-Biden Aide Admits Admin Gaslit America
Daily Caller ^ | 2/28/2025 | Ireland Owens

A former top staffer in the Biden White House told Puck News on Wednesday that the Biden-Harris administration was “gaslighting” Americans by dismissing concerns over polling showing that former President Joe Biden was not receiving support from voters in his own party during his reelection bid.

Michael LaRosa, who served as a longtime press secretary to former first lady Jill Biden, also admitted to Puck News that Biden’s age was an “issue,” and claimed that Biden’s staff was “scared to death” of the former president participating in unrehearsed or unscripted interviews. Though most Americans and several Democrats repeatedly raised concerns over Biden’s age and cognitive fitness during his time in office, his administration frequently denied these claims.

“The president’s team was scared to death of impromptu, unscripted, unrehearsed, unpracticed, unchoreographed anything,” LaRosa told the outlet. “They couldn’t compete in the attention economy. They didn’t have any idea how. And they didn’t have the vessel in Biden, who would have done anything. He loves TV. He loves doing stuff. It was the orbit that didn’t trust the candidate.”

Still, LaRosa defended the former president by telling Puck News that “every politician” tries to “cover up” their age.

Brandon’s whole Presidency was a lie from beginning to end. Individual parts being exposed barely more my surprise meter.

Biden was the ultimate example of a crisis full exploited.

Not every politician has the entire MSM helping with the cover up.

Such a stunning and brave take.

Especially now that the entire civilized world has long since caught on.
