During a recent Fox Business interview, former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy revealed a little about his interactions with President Biden and shared concerns over the 81-year-old POTUS’ age.
McCarthy spoke with the hosts of Bottom Line.
“He still has a teleprompter when you meet behind closed doors,” McCarthy said. “But the teleprompter are cards. I found when I met with him, it would just be a couple of them. He would read from the card.”
McCarthy added it was difficult to “deviate” from Biden during private negotiations, referencing when he spoke with the president on the debt ceiling.
“He just sticks to the cards,” he said of Biden. “And if you go, if you deviate from the cards, he can’t continue onward there.”
“Look, he has served the country, regardless whether you like it or not. I respect the man for serving the country. I thank him for that service, but he is not of the age that is best to be able to serving in the presidency, especially the position that he is to going forward with what I have watched to serve again.”
McCarthy also mentions Biden may have a lost a step as he’s not the “same man” he used to be.
