In a recent op-ed, The New York Post editorial board agreed with former Press Secretary Jen Psaki for suggesting President Biden only do softball interviews and appearances — like The View.
From The New York Post:
But in a sense, she’s dead right.
Biden can barely manage to string five words together, stand upright for extended periods of time or avoid yet another humiliating wander-off.
And even when he does keep it together, he comes off as unfocused, clipped and frail.
Plus, he may well stray into Crazy Town, as happened when he implied his uncle was shot down as an airman in World War II and then eaten by cannibals.
Or when he riffed on racism dominating Japan and India.
A guy with a mind coming apart at the seams like that has zero business facing the real press corps.
Sadly, with Geriatric Joe, that’s true even though a huge chunk of the media would be happy to spit-polish his wingtips.
Imagine how dire things are looking internally for Dems that one of the national party’s top surrogates is now openly admitting Joe’s past it, so bring on the softballs.
Team Biden has gone to great lengths to protect the POTUS over recent months, giving him special shoes to help with balance; providing oversized cheat sheet cards to help him remember names and simple actions; and, of course, circling him as he walks across the White House lawn to hide his shuffle.
