Ex-Obama aide admits he didn’t mention Biden’s decline because he ‘wanted him to #$#$&$# win’
NY Post via Fox news ^ | 05/24/2025 | Fox News

Posted on 05/25/2025 6:21:05 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Ex-Obama aide and “Pod Save America” co-host Jon Lovett admitted on Jon Stewart’s “The Weekly Show” podcast that he withheld his concerns about President Joe Biden’s physical decline during the 2024 campaign.

Lovett told Stewart and his fellow “Pod Save America” host Jon Favreau that he didn’t want to publicly voice his concern over Biden’s declining health because he wanted him “to f—— win.”

“I remember feeling I want to talk about this as a huge liability. To talk about this is something Joe Biden can overcome, but I’m not going to go so far as to say, ‘I think Joe Biden must drop out. He is too old to be president,’” Lovett said on the podcast. “A, because I didn’t know exactly what was going on behind the scenes, but B, if Joe Biden is the candidate, I want him to f—— win.”

Lovett said he was worried that expressing his concerns would be weaponized against Biden by political opponents.

He claimed he kept his concerns to himself to avoid “having the words we’re saying taken out of context and all of a sudden be part of the case against Joe Biden from the right — that would use any person criticizing Joe Biden from the left as a weapon against him.”

This scandal is the biggest in American political history in my opinion. Watergate on steroids.

To be honest....if your choice was ‘dementia-Joe’ or Kam...I’d probably go with ‘dementia-Joe’.

The left lies and lies and lies—because they want to win.

Life is easy when you understand the rules.

“This scandal is the biggest in American political history in my opinion. Watergate on steroids.”

If it were, the courts would be all over it to make watergate shrink to nothing, where it belongs.

No the Biden team and its extension, the media, are the only people talking about this because it is not as big a scandal as the real one. The one that they get into real trouble over.

Actually, the Biden team (includes the media) cheating their way into the White House is the biggest scandal.

It’s a millennia level historic scandal.

They're all named "Jon?!"

In any event, SNL has really gone downhill since the early days, but I always liked Jon Lovitz.

This scandal is the biggest in American political history..

Certainly among the top ten. And the fact it exists with complicity from every media outlet and every branch and facet of govt shows how far America has fallen.

This is America without Christ, liberals. Hope you're happy.

“ This guy is finally admitting the truth. They all knew it and didn’t care.”

That will happen when they start talks about their roles in stealing the 2020 instead of this distraction

There is no one who didn’t know Biden was idiotic.

But it shows their idiots, too, thinking that people couldn’t see and tell for themselves that biden had the mental capacity of an ice cube.

People who actively undermine The United States of America need to have their citizenship revoked.

I agree. whole heartedly.

The theft of the election by thorough systematic fraud is the crime. There is no scandal, there is a ripping apart of the very fabric of the Republic that is the United States of America. There is seditious crime.

In my view the seemingly overwhelming mindlessness to preserve life at all costsmust be cast aside.The perpetrators must be rounded up, tried and if guilty, executed.

The continued life of the Republic is at stake.

I expect the people around Biden to lie about him. It’s not about his aides (or anyone else’s.)

It’s about the media covering it up.

(And not asking who was running stuff.)

Jon Favreau that he didn’t want to publicly voice his concern over Biden’s declining health because he wanted him 'to f—— win.'

Good going, idiot, you supported a candidate that was clearly mentally deficient and incapable in the role of leader of the free world and in charge of nuclear codes.

Classic case of TDS - on steroids.
