White House officials and President Biden’s allies went on the attack against The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday after the news outlet published a report on the president’s performance in private meetings headlined “Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping.”
Democrats rallied to Biden’s defense and took issue with key parts of the story, blasting the Journal for largely citing the accounts of Republican officials who had spent time with the president, including former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.).
Several White House aides shared a lengthy segment from MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” in which the hosts excoriated the Journal story as a hit piece.
“I’ve spent time with both of those guys privately. Spent time with Biden and Trump privately. I’ve spent time with every House Speaker over the past 30 years. And Joe Biden, I’m not just — it’s just not close,” host Joe Scarborough said.
“If you want to talk about international affairs, if you want to talk about how to get bipartisan legislation, Joe Biden is light-years ahead of all of them,” he continued. “And the fact that The Wall Street Journal knew these quotes were out there, that editors — I’m not looking at the reporter. People always blame the reporter. … I don’t even know what to say. I really don’t even know what to say here.”
The Journal story was based on interviews with 45 people over several months, including Democrats and Republicans who were in meetings with Biden or briefed on them. The story cites examples of Biden reading from notes in meetings on Ukraine aid, sometimes deferring questions to aides and at times speaking too softly to be audible or closing his eyes.

Message: A plusperfect example of Biden “defending democracy”
......covering up the Hur evidence
......operating our govt in secrecy
They won’t release it because it’s clearly devastating. For Hur to stop prosecution of Biden ... how Biden acted and spoke during that interview must have scared the SH*T out of Hur, as it would any American citizen who cares about our Republic.
Note to WSJ and all these pathetic Democrat sycophants: That retarded loser is slipping OUTSIDE closed doors, too.
What happens with the transcripts of Biden’s speeches when the White House corrects multiple errors in them. There was a time when the error would stay in the transcript with “SIC” after it. Will history believe from transcripts that Biden gave cogent speeches?
Maximum flak......must be over the target.
The stuck pig squeal the loudest.............
Will it be be a virtual debate? Where Biden can us AI with his image but fake content?
.
Joe has been quoting long Dead people in conversations the previous night since 2107!
Joe left reality some time ago!
Two weeks ago he told the Crowd to vote him to Congress!
When he was VP, he seemed normal. An arrogant idiot, like always, but not demented. Anyone remember him implying he might just serve one term in 2020? I do.
“”White House officials and President Biden’s allies went on the attack against The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday after the news outlet published a report on the president’s performance in private meetings headlined “Behind Closed Doors,

Is this an example of when Democrats do their own version of “pouncing” on sources who are reporting the truth? Never seen the media use that word when Democrats attack.
Scotch tape? Duct tape? Peels off itself before it peels off the surface masking tape?
I’m guessing when President Pervert Sniffer isn’t hyped up on drugs( were not familiar with yet) that’s he’s a room temperature cantaloupe.
And Joe Scarborough?
A part of him knows his world view is falling apart - - and that Trump really might be reelected and that President Pervert Sniffer might be a loony tune. Joe’s not ready to deal with reality yet - maybe Mika can help him back
Lots of wishful/magical thinking on Scarborough’s part - as usual.
Trump should start talking about running against “Democrat Doe” as FJB is NOT going to be the nominee. They are going to switch him out. and soon. The least he can say is “I told you so...”
IF there were ANY kind of “affirmative action” in media...his ass be gone long ago.
He ain’t as good as he once was, and he will never be good once as he ever was. He is literally a invalid doddering old man. He will be euthanized if he loses the election. He is too big of a security risk to be allowed to live with his anger and blabber mouth problems.
.
Biden will be the nominee, of course.
Biden sold his votes for decades in Congress, supporting legislation in exchange for hiring this guy and hiring that guy.
The DS is stocked with Biden family friends and loyalists.
And the DS loves nothing more than an unaccountable rubber stamp.
Maybe the deep state is going after Biden next with Hunter’s laptop to get him out of the way. Then both Biden and Trump will be in prison. The dems figure they will win with their new candidate waiting in the deep state wings.
Yep, WSJ is anti Trump, (but only paper I read thoroughly every day because I’m involved in financial markets). This was a fair article. Other outlets just ignore or glaze over the issue.
