Unfortunately, though perhaps expectedly, Biden provided no real information at all. In fact, his clearly deteriorating condition combined with the things he said only served to deepen the scandal around him and Kamala Harris. Who is actually the president? Why is he remaining in office if he can’t run for a second term?
To illustrate the absurdity at play, Biden essentially argued that he’s such an amazing president and so capable of serving a second term that he dropped out to “unite my party.” None of this makes any sense.
When you read between the lines, it sounds like he’s admitting the big donors and power brokers, including Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, forced him out of the race. If his record was truly so stellar and he was as capable of serving a second term as he says, why would his own party not be united around him? And why wouldn’t he be the best person to “save our democracy?”
This is insulting to American voters. Biden owed them an honest explanation for why he suddenly changed course and left the presidential race, negating tens of millions of primary votes in the process. Instead, he chose to continue to gaslight the nation, pretending that he is perfectly healthy to serve but also needs to drop out for completely unspecified reasons.
Of course, we all know the truth. He dropped out because he’s physically and mentally incapable of being the president today or four years from now.
As a final bit of red meat to the Democrat base, Biden then endorsed term limits for the Supreme Court.
Nothing says democracy and fighting tyranny like working to change the make-up of a court that rules against your wishes. That’s the stuff of third-world dictatorships, and it was promoted from the Oval Office. Disgusting is a good descriptor.
With that said, this address did nothing to quell the questions surrounding Biden’s health and those who have and continue to enable him, chief among them Kamala Harris. She needs to be made to own this because she does own it.
