Former MSNBC anchor and one-time Meet The Press host Chuck Todd claimed this week that he will go to his grave believing that Biden’s inner circle sent him to the slaughter.
Todd believes Team Biden knew Joe would fail during the now-infamous debate.
Todd made the claim during the latest episode of “The Chuck Toddcast.”
“Look, I will go to my grave believing that the debate was intentional for that,” the host said.
“Anita Dunn and Jen O’Malley Dillon will deny it till they’re blue in the face, and if I were in their shoes and I did it, I’d deny it until I was blue in my face, okay?” Todd added.
“It’s like whoever the hell helped Reagan delay the hostage release, okay? It’s never going to be admitted. It’s too convenient,” Todd said, referring to the January 1981 release of American hostages held by Iran, after Jimmy Carter had already lost his re-election effort to Reagan.
From Fox News:
Biden’s disastrous performance in last summer’s presidential debate is widely seen as the death knell for the former president’s re-election campaign. Less than a month after the spectacle, where Biden looked weak and cognitively challenged, he announced his withdrawal from the campaign and endorsed then-Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him as the nominee.
Biden’s cognitive decline has been under more scrutiny in recent months as CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson’s newly published book, “Original Sin,” alleged that members of Biden’s White House engaged in a cover-up of the president’s condition.
In the clip flagged by The Daily Caller, Leibovich prompted Todd’s declaration by bringing up a previous conversation they had about some members of Biden’s inner circle using the debate as an opportunity to punch through the cover-up and show the world that Biden was unfit for office.
