CNN talked to more than two dozen current and former Democratic officials, donors and longtime Biden allies, all of whom spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid alienating Biden and discuss sensitive health matters verboten by the White House. While it’s clear the president had aged in the past year, none of them said they had seen the version of Biden, faltering and dazed, that showed up at last month’s debate.
In many of these conversations, sources blamed the president’s inner circle of advisers and family for what they said has become a painstakingly choreographed daily operation designed to prevent him from being in unscripted settings for extended periods of time.
“There’s this general sense of just, unbelievable holding your breath every time he does an event, every time he’s with people,” one top Democrat in close touch with Biden’s inner circle of advisers told CNN. This person added that some of those advisers have privately acknowledged: “This is going to get worse.”
That Democrat was blunt about how the president’s closest advisers have responded to any criticism or concerns expressed about the president – including his age and fitness: “Everyone who expresses any level of suspicion or contrary views? They call everyone and they beat the s*** out of them and say: ‘Stay on message.’”
At least one official involved in Biden’s debate prep at Camp David raised doubts about his ability after seeing how rehearsals were going, according to one source briefed on those preparations.
“It’s not like Biden’s inner circle didn’t know this,” one Democratic strategist close to the White House said of the extent of the president’s recent decline.

I put my bet on liars. Earlier this week I recorded FoxNews and CNN when Biden was with the union leaders. The Fox News clip ( I believe ) was live and showed Biden both OK and faltering. When I watched CNN for the same time frame, their host said “we will dip in and out“. They then showed a clip of Biden being completely cogent.
They have been watching his entire events for years and only broadcasting a few sentences where he sounds good. To protect Biden, they “dip in and out” while he speaks live so they can choose what they want to broadcast.
Later, I saw a link to a clip of what happened near the end of Biden’s time with those union leaders. Biden went off script and was completely incoherent.
Satan is a natural born citizen and well qualified for the VP job according to the mass media.
Of course
Trouble in fairyland utopia?
They were warned for nearly 4 years...
The info has been out there...
They could claim national security for keeping it a secret..EXCEPT..they are running him a second term..so,that argument along with all their other lame arguments doesn’t cut it.
The regime and it’s media have ZERO CREDIBILITY now.
Members are throwing each other under the bus.
Obama used Clooney as another puppet.
The lying stupidity of the Hollywood elite has been exposed and their egos have been shattered.
Those who’ve been brainwashed by the regime are having psychotic episodes.
The regime has been backed into a corner and will do something drastic.
We already knew years ago. They have just caught up due to the debate.
Wow, that was early.
You’d think they’d be embarrassed to openly admit they couldn’t see what we all did from Day One.
Yep
“I’m surprised that they are surprised”
And of course they’re not. The media lying to keep The Vegetable in the WH is exactly what the woketards wanted them to do.
“ While it’s clear the president had aged in the past year, ”
What garbage…he’s been completely vacant for a good five years now.
These people are either blind idiots or they’re just still trying to gaslight the public.
Yeah, it wuz those “insiders”, I tell ya. Not the leftist Max Headrooms who only a few weeks ago pronounced that Biden was sharp as a tack, etc. Nothing to see here...
Every single Dim who met with, or saw Biden at a public event knew, without doubt.
And, their staffers and friends and family.
AND, every media person surrounding these people.
So yeah...”Liars running for cover”
Anybody paying attention knew the state of SloJoe’s mind.
What a bunch of self-serving lies and nonsense. Anyone with the observational skill of a ten year-old has known for several years that there was something seriously wrong with Biden’s cognitive abilities.
They were all in on it. They all repeated the same talking points. And they all knew his pretentions of lucidity were fake. But so did everyone else know it was fake. The cover-up covered up nothing. The emperor has no brain. Live it down, if you can, Dems. I doubt you can.
