The mental decline of President Joe Biden has been under the spotlight recently, with revelations from the new book "Original Sin" by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, and the release of audio from Special Counsel Robert Hur's interview of Biden.
The audio, more damning than the previously seen transcript, reveals Biden's confused responses and his struggle to recall significant events, including the death of his son and the timeline of Donald Trump's presidency.
According to RedState, Biden's confusion extended to the classified material under discussion during the interview, prompting his attorney to intervene and clarify one of his answers. The President also veered off-topic, discussing unrelated subjects such as technology and Mongolia.
In the wake of these revelations, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for their forward-looking stance. McCarthy has called for their resignation, accusing them of covering up Biden's mental decline.
I think the leaders that covered this up should have to resign," McCarthy said. "So that means Schumer and Hakeem should actually resign because they saw the same thing I did, Unlike Schumer and Jeffries, McCarthy had previously voiced concerns about Biden's mental state and was criticized for doing so.
"They tried to even do the cover-up," McCarthy continued. "Instead of just not saying anything, they attacked those who tried to tell the truth, and they allowed the country to be in this position." McCarthy also questioned the frequent presence of Jill Biden in meetings, suggesting that the First Lady's involvement was a response to the President's mental decline.
When questioned about their role in allegedly covering up Biden's mental decline, both Jeffries and Schumer responded with similar forward-looking statements. CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked Jeffries why voters should trust Democrats when it appears that many were complicit in concealing Biden's condition.
Jeffries responded, "I can tell you we're not looking backward, we're going to continue to look forward," before deflecting to discuss Trump and healthcare.
Schumer, when asked a similar question by multiple media outlets, echoed Jeffries' sentiment. He stated, "We're looking forward," before shifting the conversation to Medicaid cuts. The similarity in their responses has led to speculation that they coordinated their responses to deflect from the issue at hand.
The dismissive attitude of Schumer, particularly his smirk when questioned about Biden's mental decline, has drawn criticism. McCarthy argues that such disdain shows a lack of accountability and a belief that they can evade consequences.
McCarthy's call for the resignation of Schumer and Jeffries underscores the gravity of the situation. He contends that the alleged cover-up of Biden's mental decline was a fraud perpetrated on the American people, putting the nation at risk.
The revelations about Biden's mental state and the alleged cover-up by Democratic leaders raise serious questions about transparency, accountability, and the future direction of the country.
