Joe Biden's First Post-Debate Interview With George Stephanopoulos Just Dug Him Into a Deeper Hole
Townhall ^ | 07/05/24 | Sarah Arnold

Posted on 07/05/2024 5:02:29 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

President Joe Biden gave his first post-debate television interview to reassure Americans he could handle another four years in office-- but it turns out, it wasn't just one "bad night."

After a shaky debate performance against former President Donald Trump last week, Biden has faced an avalanche of pressure to drop out of the 2024 race, citing his cognitive decline.

Biden, who says he's staying in the race, has defied calls to drop out of the running, confident he will beat Trump.

The 81-year-old president agreed to a sit-down interview with CBS News’ George Stephanopoulos because he said he would not let a 90-minute debate overshadow all of his so-called “accomplishments” from the past three years.

Stephanopoulos asked Biden if his disastrous debate performance was a "bad episode or the sign of a more serious condition?”

Biden’s excuse? He was “exhausted.”

However, the host pushed back, pointing out that Biden had spent the entire week prior vacationing at Camp David.

“I just had a really bad cold!” The president claimed.

ABC: Was your humiliating debate a "bad episode or the sign of a more serious condition"?

BIDEN: "I was exhausted!"

ABC: Why wasn't your week holed away at Camp David enough rest time?

It is worth noting that Biden has spent more than 40 percent of his presidency on vacation and his days are similar to someone who works a cushiony 9-5. 

Biden also blamed his troubling debate performance on jet lag. However, Stephanopoulos pointed out that he had over a week— 12 days to be exact— to recover. 

The senile president also has no clue whether he watched the debate. 

On Friday, during a rally in Wisconsin, Biden pushed back against critics who say it’s time for him to pass the torch. Instead, the president declared he would “win again in 2020” as he bashed former President Donald Trump. 

“What’s Joe going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out? What are you going to do?” Biden told the crowd. “Well, here’s my answer: I am running and I’m going to win again.”

A good political agent knows how to dance around tough questions, redirect, spin, think on his feet. Joe doesn’t have it in him anymore. Its just excuse, blame game, rambling nonsense removed from reality.

Senile folks cannot deal with numbers.

Bob Dole famously held a pen in his right hand constantly and shook hands with his left due an injury sustained in WW2.

The Rats need to invoke the 25th Amendment to get rid of Demenia Joe.


Consider the mechanics necessary to invoke the 25th. Kamala and half of the Cabinet have to be 100% sure that they will succeed before they dare try. If Biden signs a letter saying he objects, it goes to both Houses of Congress. Dems control 50% in each House, but they need 2/3rds in each to remove him. That means they need votes that they don’t control, i.e. Republican votes.

Now who is going to risk his or her political career on votes from the other party? They have to be sure, and they can’t be sure.

>>I have seen Micheal J. Fox do the same thing.

So did Bob Dole, but he got blown up in WWII.

Biden is done politically. Only he doesn't know it. Voting to remove him and save your own reelection, or a chance at a majority in your house of Congress, is a no brainer. The tougher choice will be Republicans in Congress. Do they vote to remove Dementia Joe for incompetence, after most voted to certify his fraudulent election, or vote to keep him and help reelect Trump to a second term? It is the Republicans who have the more difficult choice if put to a vote.

Red State has video excerpts with transcripts in its "WATCH: Joe Biden's Big Interview With George Stephanopoulos Is Out, and It's an Absolute Trainwreck."

More than that!!!

It's a train wreck, head-on car collision, plane crash, ship sinking, and asteroid impact all rolled into one catastrophe for the flatlined White House occupant. Even sycophant Georgie couldn't save him.

Just watched this video clip:

And was shocked how Stephanopoulos didn’t let him get away with his excuses.

Senator Kennedy (R-Louisiana) just said that Biden is "as dead as fried chicken."
