Pelosi was already ‘startled’ by Biden’s cognitive decline when she slammed WSJ report on his mental acuity: book

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slammed a bombshell Wall Street Journal report on former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline a month after the California Democrat confided in friends that she was alarmed by how much he had aged, according to a new book.

“He was not the same Joe Biden,” Pelosi reportedly told a friend of the then-president’s condition after receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom award during a May 2024 White House ceremony.

The claim is from author Chris Whipple’s new book, “Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History.”

Whipple wrote that Pelosi was “startled by how much the president had aged” after taking part in the ceremony, according to Fox News.

The White House event took place exactly a month before Biden’s dramatic decline was detailed in a Wall Street Journal report, where more than 45 Republican and Democratic lawmakers and staffers described a president who spoke so softly during meetings that participants struggled to understand him; did not appear to know what policies were in place; and relied on staffers to answer direct questions.

Despite privately voicing her concerns with Biden’s advanced age – he was 81 at the time – Pelosi publicly slammed the report as a “hit piece.”

“Many of us spent time with [the WSJ] to share on the record our first-hand experiences with [Biden], where we see his wisdom, experience, strength and strategic thinking,” Pelosi wrote in a June 5, 2024, X post. “Instead, the Journal ignored testimony by Democrats, focused on attacks by Republicans and printed a hit piece.”

Weeks later, Biden’s declining mental acuity was on full display during his disastrous June 27, 2024, debate against Trump — resulting in a wave of Democrats calling for him not to seek re-election.

Was Whipple another author that also hid his decline?

Not that it matters that the most powerful person in the world was severely compromised. All that matters is keeping power, so just lie like you always do you evil witch

Pelosi was already ‘startled’ by Biden’s cognitive decline.

If so she’s not any better by not noticing why he was kept in the basement for a reason.

Or a flat out lie expert.

All they needed was the DEM party to hold the White House. Staffers and the auto-pen would take care of the rest.

She knew he was basically brain dead but that didn't stop her from advancing his agenda.

Or Nurse Jill's I should say.

We've been seeing of lot of these articles regarding the decline of Biden, many of which have stated this was known a long time ago. That in of itself should be criminal.

I suspect the timing of these articles have a purpose. It allows them to make judgments on Trump's mental capabilities at any time. One misspoken word or one awkward physical movement, and the MSM will be calling for Trump's resignation due to "impaired" capabilities.

Because the left uses lies and deception as their primary weapon. Just like Satan and Allah.
