Former Biden official delivers scathing reality check to ex-prez as party flounders in the polls

Former President Joe Biden’s return to the spotlight has some Democratic party insiders — including top aides — fuming that his presence is only dredging up old wounds, according to a report.

After keeping a low profile, Biden reemerged Tuesday with an anti-Trump speech in Chicago, followed by private remarks at Harvard University’s Kennedy School.

But the reaction from within the Democratic party was less of a celebration and more of a panic-inducing event, with party operatives, strategists, and Biden loyalists saying his presence came at the worst time, The Hill reported.

“I love both Bidens dearly, but staff loyalty means there is a responsibility to provide them with an honest situational awareness, especially when it comes to their public image, no matter how hurtful it is to hear,” Michael LaRosa, who served as Jill Biden’s communications director, told the outlet.

LaRosa argued that any advisors with a pulse on the Democratic party should have known that many people remain “furious or indifferent” to the former president.

While speaking at Harvard, Biden had to be corrected by his longtime adviser Mike Donilon when he mixed up Ukraine with Iraq when talking about the war with Russia, the Harvard Crimson reported.

After the 82-year-old former president bit into an ice cream bar at the event, the partially eaten dessert fell to the floor, the Crimson noted.

“This was hard to watch,” one former White House official told the Post of the speech, where Biden also reminisced about “colored kids.”

“It felt like seeing someone you care about start to regress. We just wanted him to enjoy retirement like other presidents — not go out like this,” the official said.

The mix-up only added to the Trump administration and conservatives’ attempt to use the unpopular ex-president’s appearance as a distraction...

Biden is the least of the Dems problems. AOC and Sanders aren’t helping and th left’s priorities are gutter level on a good day.

Anyone who is not willfully dishonest about Biden knows he has always been a dim bulb. Even Obama warned, "Never underestimate Joe's ability to eff things up."

He is what a narcissistic, tone-deaf malaprop becomes as their tiny prefrontal cortex shrivels from lack of use.

Speaking at Harvard, Biden’s regression was on display.

He reminisced about “colored kids” and had to be corrected
b/c he mixed up Ukraine with Iraq, the Harvard Crimson reported.

Later Biden bit into an ice cream bar then fumbled
the partially eaten dessert which fell to the floor.

I love both Bidens dearly...

The mind boggles. Isn't LaRosa the phag who got into trouble because he brought two of his boyfriends to a secure hotel floor during a Brandon visit somewhere?

Shouldn’t his uncivil, abrasive-to-decency-and civility supporters just shut up and be happy that the whole biden criminal family isn’t imprisoned...or deported?

Ann Archy @3: "Biden is PURE EVIL...."

The Demonicrat Party is PURE EVIL and spews lies, DEI perversion, murder, and treason.

The Demonicrat Party should be regarded as a domestic enemy of the United States of America.

Democratic party should have known that many people remain “furious or indifferent” to the former president.

Not furious just at Biden he’s the stooge the party chose to ramrod him into the oval office.

Now their patting AOC on the ass and telling her come on honey we have a deal for you.

When the ice cream fell, did the 5-second rule apply?

Biden’s handlers say, “this is how much it is going to cost you to keep in silent.”
