On Thursday, "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough made a striking claim: he asserted that President Joe Biden’s campaign believes that former President Barack Obama is working behind the scenes to pressure Biden to exit the presidential race.
Former Obama advisers have indeed pounced on Biden since his disastrous debate performance last month, and this week, actor George Clooney, a friend of Obama's, wrote an op-ed declaring that Biden should step aside.
Scarborough believes that the Biden campaign and Democratic officials suspect that Barack Obama is personally behind it all.
“What’s going on behind the scenes is the Biden campaign and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack Obama is quietly working behind the scenes to orchestrate this,” Scarborough said. “And if Joe Biden believes that, that’s not going to get him out of the race any faster. Any time David Axelrod attacks him, David Axelrod ensures that Joe Biden will dig himself in another day. Any time the pod bros say something nasty about Joe Biden — which they have repeatedly said nasty things about Joe Biden, before the debate, after the debate — every time they do that, he digs in a little bit further.”
“The pathway to Joe Biden graciously stepping aside does not go through the Obamas or the Clintons. It just doesn’t,” Scarborough continued. “Again, as I said, because some people don’t understand, I’m not talking about what ought to be; I’m talking about what is."
Scarborough added that Joe Biden "is deeply resentful of his treatment under not only the Obama staff but also the way he was pushed aside for Hillary Clinton," and is similarly resentful of the effort to get him to drop out of the presidential race. "He’s always felt like an outsider, always felt like people have looked down upon him.”

I think it’s illegal aliens that will save Biden. Register to vote, harvest the ballots, stuff ballots. Let’s go Brandon!
Biden has so much dirt on him, I find it difficult to believe that Dem political leaders would have any trouble getting rid of him.
Can I get in on that action?
Big Mike swings a big...........Johnson
