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.

That makes sense. That laptop was a campaign contribution wasn’t it? All the media lapdogs got paid; in kind political donations? Those 58 CIA spies signing that letter; that’s about 58 retirements to revoke.
they won’t even release the transcript...
Great post Soprano...
SCARBOROUGH: “I just don’t know what to say.”
Which is why he spent two paragraphs playing grab-ass with desultory words, saying nothing — which is why he said he just doesn’t know what to say.
BTW, that is due to his innate inability to accurately relate to the news.
He’s exactly the same he’s always been. He’s just getting exposed.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The election choice could hardly be more blatantly clear! On the one hand, we have a man who has excelled in business ventures his entire adult life, provided employment for countless citizens, accumulated enormous wealth, and became a successful POTUS without any previous political experience. On the other hand we have a vicious, loudmouth, unlikable political hack who never held a real job or did a damn thing beneficial for anyone other than himself, his family, and his political lackeys.
NOT A DIFFICULT DECISION FOR ANYONE WHO’S PAYING ATTENTION IS IT?
Actually it was 51 but who really cares at this point, as Hillary would say.
Ditto
At least the WSJ quoted identified people, instead of “according to four anonymous sources.”
Peter Schweizer.
Blood Money.
Profiles in Corruption.
Secret Empires.
Red Handed.
Throw Them all Out.
Clinton Cash.
Extortion.
Yes, if
No questions given to either candidate in advance, and
no ear pieces, and
No note pads on the podium
In other words - no cheating. Totally extemporaneous.
Biden furiously responded to the idea that he has declined mentally, saying: “Goo-goo gah-gah bishmanipalaver”
Joe Scarborough talks out his butt because his mouth has Joe Biden’s penis in it.
“The debate on June 27 will be interesting.”
i’ll be shocked if biden shows up for that debate ... there will some kind of excuse about why he can’t attend the debate: health issue, world crisis, etc. ...
The Nixon tapes were ordered released. Release. The Biden tapes Damn it.
The tape doesn’t match the transcript that they released. This is the second time in a month they have been caught altering speeches from video to transcript. If they don’t release the video the they feel the general public won’t make the connection.
Who cares if it’s behind closed doors! We see it every day on social media! lol The moron has lost it.
That's what I figured. They don't even care if we believe their lies anymore. It's in your face FU.
Is this guy kidding me? You know, sometimes I really wonder if these leftist TV shows are all just one big put on. Let's see Joe Scarborough go on Mark Levins radio show or his TV show "Life liberty and Levin" and spew that absolute bulls**t. It will never happen though even though Mark constantly invites these morons on. They know what they say is absolute nonsense. In only 3 years Biden has brought us to the verge of WW3 with Russia and China with Iran about to become a nuclear power kicking off a nuclear war with Israel which is on the verge of distruction. The whole freakin' work BLEW UP under Biden and this clown is propping him up? And bipartisan legislation? WHAT bipartisan legislation? Everything Biden has done has been by executive fiat to destroy the country!!!
If the debate goes on… I bet it’ll be
the most watched debate ever.
Wonder if there will be a barrier between
them so there’s not a fight…
Yep. Or I bet Biden may use the excuse…
I’m not gonna debate a “convicted felon“
