Why the Democrats lied about Joe Biden’s frailty
Spiked ^ | 28th June 2024 | Brendan O'Neill

Here’s the truly sinister thing: many of these people who said Biden was fine knew he wasn’t. They knew the White House insisted he always be flanked by minders, lest he stumble physically or verbally, in what was known by insiders as ‘Operation Bubble Wrap’. They knew he had become so frail that even special counsel Robert Hur decreed he should not be charged for keeping classified documents because he is an ‘elderly man’ with ‘poor memory’ and ‘diminished faculties’. They knew he was receiving regular physical tests but not cognitive tests, for fear of what might show up. They knew but they denied and lied and snapped at any uppity member of the public who said ‘Is Biden okay?’.

And why did they cover up Biden’s troubles? For power. In order that they might still rule. Out of naked, brutal self-interest. The Democratic elites and their footsoldiers in the cultural establishment are painfully aware they have few big-hitters who can connect with the public. Kamala Harris? Please. Gavin Newsom? Even Californians have tired of him. So out of desperation, they put blusher on Old Joe, fed him lines they prayed he would remember, and sent him out in a wretched bid to secure their own political clout and cultural hegemony. Behold the ruthlessness of the technocratic class. We now know there’s nothing they won’t do to fortify their authority. We can feel sorry for Biden, but for the rest of them we should feel only contempt.

This has been glaringly obvious for some time.

I think this post is correct. These guys are in the inner circle of the president, and if it’s a different guy they won’t be in HIS inner circle, so they hid the truth as best they could. Last night it was on display. Do you want him to get the infamous 4 am phone call??

They aren’t patriots.
They don’t care about God.
They don’t care about democracy.
They don’t care about the republic.

They hunger for power.

All the stupid Woke people out there who support Left-wing politics are just working for a totalitarian system that will brutalize people.

And no one knows this more than Jill Biden. Neither of his children willing to intervene either. Hunter probably still hoping his father will bail him from his legal troubles. I have no idea what Ashley’s stake is in all this.

He was put out there last night to get rid of him. The coverup is over.

RFK Jr was correct. The country is being run by people wearing lanyards.

Despite Joe’s decline, he’s every bit the utter trash he was before. A disgusting man who should die in prison.

You can bet she’s being bought off. It’s the only logical explanation.

Ashley is scared, Jill wants nothing but power, and Hunter holds all the cards. If Brandon does not pardon him, the whole gig is over and the entire family, their corruption and empire will crash. Hunter is the key and he will turn on Brandon in a heartbeat. He’s not going to jail—or else.

Scalawags have usurped the Office of the President of the United States. This country is being ruled by a bunch of unelected treasonist pussilanimous paltroons.

Why did they lie? Succinctly: Because they are prideful, arrogant, haughty, spiteful, and power-hungry, and they can never, ever admit when they’re wrong about anything.
