Axios reporter Alex Thompson said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that former President Joe Biden’s inner circle of family and advisors chose loyalty to him over duty to the country.
Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “So every White House, no matter which party Republican or Democrat administration part of the job is to make the president look good.”
He asked, “What makes this administration do what they did to protect their principal? Why is that a cover-up?”
Thompson said, “I think a lot of these things start innocently enough, to your point. You know, the speechwriting team early on realized that he couldn’t give the speeches the way he used to, and so the vocabulary shrank, the sentence shrank, the paragraph shrank. By the end of 2023, I think it becomes clear that there is a bigger issue than just him struggling in ways beyond a normal principal, and that there’s actually a decline and in his ability to do the job. And I think there is a point when loyalty — there’s always a tension between loyalty to the principle and loyalty to the larger institution — and I think it was at that point that there was that tension. And I think they chose loyalty to the principal.

They are minimizing to beat the band. The big story is all the actions he took while suffering from dementia after they stole the election.
They are trying to distract us with this FJB BS.
The real crime is that Obama, Hillary and Valerie Jarrett were running the country by autopen. It was a coup.
No, they chose loyalty to the party and the revolution, instead of to their country and its principles. That’s called treason in any other context.
They were only loyal to themselves. They wanted to keep their jobs.
Nonsense. They chose loyalty to their Marxist agenda over Biden.
They kept quiet because they were all incompetent, on the take, or both. The whole Biden presidency was one giant conspiracy by the elite against the masses.
As usual, the MSM are acting in lockstep to advance another lie, i.e., that they were all hoodwinked about Biden’s cognitive decline by Biden’s inner circle and that they had no idea that there was a problem. How stupid do they think we are?
I really wonder if he would have approved all they did if he had not been demented.
Come on, they didn’t do it out of loyalty to JOE.
They did it out of loyalty to the PARTY!
To the agenda! To the faceless apparatchniks who were
running the figure head in place of a government.
Paid to lie and deceive.
More like loyalty to their pocketbook and quarterly budgets.
Few, other than already braindead Dems ‘loved’ President Joe.
He was simply the Beast of Burden available for the highest (foreign) price and the deepest (USAID) grift.
It would have been several times worse under President Kammy,
because even many of her political supporters did not like or trust her.
obama’s front man...
I do not think they ‘Choose Loyalty’.
They wanted the power they got.
Since Biden was a figurehead, somebody else had the power!
And those people wanted to keep that power!
Nah, it was loyalty to party.
Ha! They weren’t protecting Joe. They were protecting their rice bowls. 🍚
The 25th amendment doesn’t work and this illustrates why. An incapacitated president empowers his underlings to act with impunity and no accountability. This explains why the Biden administration was so radical.
IIRC, on his first day in office his staff shoved a bunch of EOs in front of him. He turned to Kamala and said something like, "What's this?"
And Kamala said, "Just sign them."
