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.

“Wait a second, I’ve got an idea. Is there something that I have in this office that I could hand to you, and that would make you kind of forget that you’re holding those, uh, little pink tickets there?” -Sidney Bernstein
“We are unburdened by what has been”
They only “dodge” the question, if a compliant media stops asking the question.
“That’s it” is not the answer, so keep asking the question.
On NPR, female reporter embedded in the Clinton campaign 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. I could not believe what I heard….......I ordered a transcript. When received that detail was GONE! That was the end for me. Haven’t trusted a single democrat or msm word since.
The Rats moving forward…..when have the Rats moved forward for this country?
Never.
“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.”
The Schumuckster thinks he’s a slippery eel. But he is so obviously lying.
only read the title, but what it says shows Dems cannot be trusted in the moment to be aware of truth and obvious signs of what is going on.
They only see in hindsight and then say we’re “looking forward”
I’d laugh, but it’s not funny, they cause us great problems and pains, even deaths.
