The White House’s constant gaslighting of the American people about Biden’s troublesome debate performance must end.
On July 3, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre continued to lie to the American people with a plethora of excuses for Biden’s poor debate performance, ranging from “being jet-lagged” 12 days after he returned from Europe to “he had a cold.”
Jean-Pierre also revealed to the American people during the press conference that Biden has scheduled naps. This makes President Trump’s nickname for Biden, “Sleepy Joe,” ring even more true.
She still refuses to confirm or deny reports of Biden stepping down, responding, “Absolutely not.” The White House tries to defend Biden for continuing his campaign for a second term by claiming Biden knows there is “a lot at stake.” However, Jean-Pierre slipped during the briefing by calling Harris “the future of the party.”
President Trump immediately slammed the press conference on Truth Social with a quote from Attorney David Schoen, who said:
“There ought to be some kind of a Statistic kept on Presidential Candidates who have knocked their opponent totally out of the Race through a single Debate. The excuses are coming by the minute: International Travel, a Cold, Waning Public Support, Polls, etc. But, as everyone with a “brain” knows, it was the TOTAL Annihilation and Destruction of Crooked Joe Biden, at the hands and mind of President Donald J. Trump, that did him in – And probably for good!” Attorney David Schoen
Widespread speculation still surrounds the DNC, and the question in the American people’s mind is whether Biden is mentally competent to finish his current term and run for a second term.
