For the second time in less than 18 months, Jill Biden has insisted that her husband, the sitting President of the United States, is mentally fit to serve.
In an interview with CBS' Rita Braver at Camp David, the First Lady dismissed recent polls indicating that Americans have questions about Joe Biden's mental fitness.
"Quite a few Americans have some questions about the president’s current mental fitness," asked Braver.
"I think that's ridiculous," replied Biden, insisting that her husband works 'almost 24 hours a day.' --->READ MORE HERE
Don't believe your lyin' eyes.
Only forty-six percent of Americans now think Old Joe Biden is “mentally fit” to be president of the United States, and Jill Biden is not happy. In a portion released Thursday of a CBS Sunday Morning interview that will run this weekend, CBS’s Rita Braver noted that “quite a few Americans have some questions about the president’s current mental fitness.” The winsome Dr. Jill snapped back, “I think that’s ridiculous.” Why, of course it is. It’s all just right-wing calumny, that’s all. He is fighting a stutter! How could anyone possibly look at Joe Biden and think anything but That man is sharp as a tack?
Well, let’s look at the record — the recent record, that is, although Biden has for quite some time added to his list of gaffes and odd statements practically every time he opens his mouth. When Americans look today to see if Joe Biden is mentally fit to be the president of the United States, figurehead that he is, they may see a video that began circulating Wednesday of Biden telling a story about a poor woman who had to park in a McDonald’s parking lot so that her children could use the Internet to do their homework. “This is the United Steaks of Amer, for God’s sake,” Biden exclaimed, and hilarity ensued. (This is how it sounds to me, “United Steaks of Amer.” It has been widely quoted as “United Steak of America.” Judge for yourself.)
Maybe it’s too harsh to take that as a sign of mental decay on Biden’s part, although the calls for implementation of the 25th Amendment would be shrill and insistent right now if Trump had said exactly the same thing. But in Biden’s case, we’re told he has this stutter, although anyone who watches a video of Biden speaking in the 1980s or 1990s will immediately notice that he used to speak fluidly and with no apparent difficulty. His “stutter” has gotten considerably more pronounced in recent years, although it never seems to involve any actual stuttering. There are many videos in which Biden begins to rush and slightly slur his words in moments of high emotion, real or feigned, and maybe that’s all that’s going on here. --->READ MORE HERE
