Two recent books, Fight and Original Sin, explore the reasons behind the Democratic Party’s 2024 electoral defeat and document President Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline. Despite the insights provided by these revealing works, significant unanswered questions remain for both mainstream media and Democratic politicians. Why did they support a president who was incapacitated and, following a disastrous June 2024 debate performance, ultimately resigned from the 2024 campaign? How deep was the cover-up?
It’s important to note that California politicians took the lead in this deception. Politicians in the Golden State vigorously promoted disinformation about Biden to mislead the public and placate a Democratic base that was becoming increasingly disheartened. Additionally, they seized the opportunity to criticize Republicans who pointed out Biden’s falls and mental gaffes. Below is a brief summary of the “leaders” in spreading Biden disinformation:
Gavin Newsom: The governor, well known for his strong support of Joe Biden, served as a silver-tongued Biden surrogate nationwide. CalMatters described the governor as Joe Biden’s “most forceful surrogate.” The governor skillfully countered attacks from Republicans and conservative media regarding Biden’s mental infirmity and physical limitations. Even as late as July 19, 2024, just two days before Joe Biden announced he would not seek re-election, Gavin Newsom stated, “I am in [supporting Joe Biden], no daylight.”
Adam Schiff, known for his anti-Trump rhetoric that borders on hatred, played a significant role in the House of Representatives during Trump’s impeachment. It’s hard to forget how then-Rep. Schiff criticized Special Counsel Robert Hur during a Judiciary Committee hearing, admonishing him for politicizing Biden’s lackluster deposition and defending a confused chief executive.
Hur, who was respectful of the aging president, declined to prosecute Joe Biden for his willful retention of classified documents found in Biden’s non-secure home garage. In his report, Hur stated that Biden was “an elderly man with a poor memory” as a rationale for not prosecuting the president. Now that the full audio tapes have been released, it’s clear that Joe Biden was then and is now old, confused, and addled. These facts didn’t stop Schiff from launching his overly partisan and public attack on Hur.
Only when Biden’s missteps became impossible to ignore did Schiff, in a profile in courage moment, call for Biden to step aside, stating on CNN and NPR, “I have serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November.” However, Schiff had previously met with Biden and was likely aware of the president’s steep decline.
Kamala Harris: Unsurprisingly, the foremost defender of Biden was former Attorney General and U.S. Senator from California, Vice President Kamala Harris, despite the Biden Administration’s concerns about her future electability, as noted in the aforementioned books. Vice President Harris repeatedly misled the American public for four years, asserting that Biden was “sharp as a tack, fit as a fiddle.” Harris stated on ABC’s Good Morning America in February 2024 that, “Our president is in good shape, in good health, and is ready to lead in our second term.”
Even after Biden withdrew from the race, Harris told CNN that she “doesn’t have any regrets about having defended President Biden’s mental capacity to the public.”
Whether Harris chooses to run for governor or president in the future, her political career remains stalled until she provides a credible answer about what she knew and when she knew it regarding the language-challenged former Vice President.
A cursory search of other California Democratic Congress members, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi (“We must re-elect Joe Biden” and “It’s up to the president to decide whether he stays in the race”) and Eric Swalwell (“He puts many of us to shame with his memory”), highlights the cover-up.
Today’s Democratic Party tries hard to change the subject, claiming it’s “looking forward,” alongside its ongoing disdain for all things Trump. However, unless the party determines why its leaders allowed the Biden cover-up to go unchallenged for years, how can American voters trust Democrats?
