Several top Democrats have deflected questions about former President Biden's cognitive decline, as alleged in multiple books about the 2024 election, telling the media that they're looking to move forward and not look back.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., dismissed the questions surrounding the latest book to come out with allegations of the president's decline on CNN, MSNBC and during a press conference on Tuesday.
During an interview with CNN's Kasie Hunt, Schumer was asked, "Did you really not have any idea that he was not fit to serve a second term?"
"Kasie, we’re looking forward. We have the largest Medicaid cut in front of us. We have the whole federal government," he said as Hunt pushed back, noting the reason they were dealing with President Donald Trump now was because the Democrats lost in 2024.
"Is that not Joe Biden’s responsibility for deciding to run again?" Hunt followed up as the Democratic lawmaker repeated, "We're looking forward."
Hunt pressed, "That's it?" Schumer said, "That's it," before the interview ended.
While multiple books have come out about Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris and the 2024 election, the most recent excerpts from CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson’s upcoming book, "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again," detail several insider concerns over whether Biden could last a second term as president.
The senator was also pressed on Tuesday by MSNBC's Katy Tur, who asked him to respond to a specific portion of the book that mentioned the Democratic senator. "The book also reports that Biden put his hands on your shoulder and said, ‘You have bigger,’ I’m going to say huevos, it’s not what the book said, ‘than anyone I’ve ever met.’ Do you think Biden deserves the blame...

old news
move on
I’m looking forward to the full agenda that President Trump will implement in his second term.
At the same time I am looking back to the fraud the Democrats and MSM perpetrated by pushing a mentally compromised Biden on the American people and “I say that’s not happening again”. I was obvious to people paying attention that he was not up to the job, but you lied and gaslit and turned on the truth tellers. As a result you not only lost the election, you lost the trust of a majority of Americans. You proved you can’t be trusted. Once lost, trust is difficult to regain.
It was obvious to people paying attention that Biden was not up to the job, but Dems, Biden
family, insiders and obeisant media all lied, gaslit and turned on those trying to get out the truth.
Significantly, Dems, Biden family and insiders and obeisant media never once shared their concerns about Biden’s mental decline with Americans
Nice rant.
“We’re looking forward.”
And the MSM will just look forward with them.
We should never let them forget their outright lies to the American people.
Every damn one of them are proven liars.
Cato Institute 2021——A Right to Lie? Presidents, Other Liars,
and the First Amendment (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2021)
Do the nation’s highest officers, including the president, have a right to lie, no matter what damage their falsehoods cause? Does freedom of expression protect falsehoods? If so, are lies by candidates and public officials protected? And is there a constitutional path, without violating the First Amendment, to stop a president whose persistent lies endanger our lives and our democracy?
Perhaps counter-intuitively, the general answer to each question is “yes.” Drawing from dramatic court cases about defamers, proponents of birtherism, braggarts, and office holders, Ross reveals the almost insurmountable constitutional and practical obstacles to legal efforts to rein in public deception. She explains the rules that govern the treatment of lies, while also demonstrating the incalculable damage that presidential mendacity may foster.
Falsehoods have been at issue in every presidential impeachment proceeding from Nixon to Trump. But, until now, no one has analyzed why public lies might be impeachable offenses, and whether the First Amendment would provide a defense.
Noting that speech by public employees does not receive the same First Amendment protection as the speech of ordinary citizens, Ross proposes the constitutionally viable solution of treating presidents as public employees who work for the people. Charged with oversight of the Executive, Congress may—and should—put future presidents on notice that material lies to the public on substantial matters will be deemed a “high crime and misdemeanor” subject to censure and even impeachment.
“old news”it is old news to us, ‘cause we always knew what was going on.
So did the media, but now they’re pretending they did NOT know to try to recover some credibility and respect.
It’s a mess, but it looks like neither the pols nor the media will skate on this one as easily as they normally do.
Hell no.
Looking forward - sorta like I don’t give a darn about the fact that your ancestors were slaves - I’m looking forward ?
WOW...that’s a pretty good bumper sticker...which is what the demoncrats are the BEST at...CREATING BUMPER STICKERS...
The killer brothers could use this:
“We know we killed our parents in cold blood, BUT, now we are “LOOKING FORWARD” so let both of our Crazy Asses out of jail..PLEASE”
SICK.
Obama, pecker puss Pelosi and Schumer deceived the public about Biden’s senility and put the country in grave danger. No one should believe a word out of a Democrats mouth. The obvious response to Schumer’s “moving forward” diversion is why should we believe you now?
Looking forward is the new version of, “What difference does it make now?”
Shameless attempt at escaping accountability. Whether legal recourse is brought to bear or not, the public repercussions are substantial enough to engender constant shame and ridicule.
For the left, the end justifies the means.
Way back when,soon after Clinton was elected to his first term, I was listening to NPR during my drive to work. A female reporter being interviewed had been embedded in the Clinton campaign, she was asked why Clinton said things that could not possibly be true.
Her answer….”He had to do that to get elected”
No follow up, no explanation asked if her. Simply the end of that thought.
I could not believe what I heard… but know I heard it. I ordered a transcript of that show, do they still offer that? When received that detail was GONE!
That was the end of it for me. Haven’t trusted a single democrat or msm word since.
“We’re looking forward”
Kinda like “Move on “.
Ah, those crazy Dems . Always coming up with a catchy phrase.
Maybe they should circle back... but then again that never happened either.
Accountability and responsibility don’t exist on the left.
They nailed that one.
Thanks for the translation. Now I understand what post #3 was trying to say.
Don’t pay attention to what we did.
