Jill Biden Is Guilty of ‘Elder Abuse’: D.C. Legend
Daily Beast ^ | 5/21/2025 | Josh Fiallo

A legend in Washington, D.C. social circles has accused Jill Biden of “elder abuse,” partly blaming the former first lady for President Donald Trump’s sweeping election win last fall.

Journalist Sally Quinn—widow of Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, who directed the paper’s Watergate coverage—slammed Jill for not advising against President Joe Biden’s re-election bid.

Given Biden’s public mental lapses, especially during his disastrous debate against Trump, Quinn said in a Wednesday interview that the former first lady should have shut down Biden’s idea to spend four more years in the White House.

“I felt sorry for Joe Biden because I didn’t think she was protecting him,” Quin told the Tara Palmeri Show. “She wasn’t protecting him from himself. And after that hideous debate, right after the debate, they’re in the spin room, and she’s got his hand up and they’re going, ‘Victory, victory, we won, we won. It was great, great.’ The next day, he’s up in North Carolina and making a victory speech. I thought, what were they watching?”

She added, “I thought it was just elder abuse, really.”

Quinn, 83, said that Biden, 82, appeared to show the same signs of dementia that Bradlee suffered before his death in 2014 at age 93. Quinn said she knew when to call off certain events out of protection for her husband’s deteriorating mental capacity.

“I would see him, he’d be making a speech, and he’d forget where he was and he would stumble,” she said of Bradlee. “And I finally just said, ‘No, we’re, no more speeches.’ I told everybody in his office, ‘No more speeches, no more public appearances. That’s not happening.’ I just wanted to protect him from himself, to protect his dignity.”

First and foremost, she is guilty of being the ugliest first lady on record, the rest is immaterial.

I’ve been saying this ever since Joe declared he was running. Jill is very guilty of elder abuse. Very guilty.

"I just wanted to protect him from himself, to protect his dignity."

Whatever dignity Joe still had left was thrown under the bus by Jill. She loved the power more.

I have been screaming elder abuse for years regarding their willingness to make him look like a bigger clown than he ever had before.

Even his son Bo would run ads regarding elder abuse. Bo knows!!

”I just wanted to protect him from himself, to protect his dignity.”

The difference is that Bradlee had dignity to begin with. Drooling pervert Joe Biden never had any.

The Democratic Party was guilty of elder abuse in 2020.
