Coons: It’s Not News that Biden Was Old, ‘Probably the Most Covered Story of 2024’
Breitbart ^ | 05/21/2025 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 05/22/2025 5:30:56 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) reacted to new reporting about then-President Joe Biden’s fitness by saying, “I don’t think it’s a new story that Joe Biden is a seasoned senior leader of our country, it was probably the most covered story of 2024, questions about his age.”

Coons said, “I was surprised by what I saw the night of the debate. I hadn’t had a previous experience like that with President Biden. Ultimately, several weeks later, he decided to drop out. And, frankly, rather than looking back and re-litigating the timing and the decision, I think we should be looking forward at how we can come together and confront the challenges facing our country at home and around the world.”

Host Bret Baier then asked, “Yeah, and definitely, we want to put time to that, but since all these revelations have come out, have you re-thought about your framing, your thinking about your analysis of his mental cognitive ability?

Should have been that in 2019.

But Barry and the gang had a use for the carcass.

Completely disingenuous. The relevant issue was not that he was old, but that he was mentally incompetent. They acknowledged the former but repeatedly denied the latter.

I hate how these apologists claim that “age” was the issue. It has nothing to do with age and everything to do with competency. It’s an attempt to frame the issue as a normal development of life and to ignore the pathology that everyone saw.

Straw man. Old wasn’t the issue.

We know it’s not news. The ones who don’t are the 300 clowns in Congress who call themselves Republicans.
Where have they been?

He makes it about his age and not his mindlessness.

“I hadn’t had a previous experience like that with President Biden.”

As an insider, have you been as clueless about Biden’s and his family’s corruption and criminal activities as well?

They knew what they were doing. They buried him in the basement and away from the public.

If Coons was going to let Biden fondle his daughter, he was going to cover for Biden’s decline too.

>>>I was surprised by what I saw the night of the debate.<<<

No you weren’t. The debate was part of the overall plan to stop Trump. The deep state was able to hide Biden’s dementia for 4 years but could not hide Kamala’s incompetence for 5 months. The plan failed.

Relitigating, is that what this circular firing squad should be called? Oh, there is plenty of blame to be shared in the coverup of the demise of Joe Biden, and no glory to be found. Maybe the superdelegates in the Democrat (Socialist) National committee should be doxxed, hauled before the public and shamed before being driven into exile. But one also suspects that a good many of them may already be extraterritorial players, and unfriendly operators.

Just because this was “Joe’s turn”, does not mean that course should have been pursued. Joe was NEVER ready to be president, and that was on his best days, long ago.

Reagan was old, but not senile despite the media claiming he was after a debate.

Yes indeed.

He's bald and greasy.

This is another form of “that’s old news”. The coverage was denial of a story. Nobody in the Biden backing MSM was reporting anything.
