It's hard to believe that the Biden team is telling us not to believe the evidence of our own eyes and ears when it comes to Joe Biden. Or telling us it is not uncommon or it's somehow normal that he can't remember when was vice president.
We had White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House Counsel spokesperson, and Jill Biden all defending Biden in what amounted to painful and manipulative efforts. The White House Counsel's attempt to get the Special Counsel to revise his report also reeked of being a disturbing effort to influence an independent probe.
On Sunday, the Biden team had folks hit the Sunday shows in defense of Joe. But it was largely a big fail.
They don't seem to get that they're swimming up a big stream with this; we see it every day with Biden, so they can't try to tell us some malarkey and dissuade us from the facts. Then every time they do media or put out a pitiful defense, they just focus everyone on the issue again.
Even for the people who didn't read the report, or RedState or X, they heard this on ABC:
But the special counsel's report was quite critical of the president. It included photos of classified documents stored in cardboard boxes in Biden's Delaware garage, alongside a treadmill and a rocking chair. And some of the language in the report was devastating, painting a portrait of the president as, quote, a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. The most damaging details on page 208 saying, quote, “he did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended, and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began. He did not remember even within several years, when his son, Beau, died.”
Biden's Campaign Co-Chair of his National Advisory Board, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), tried to claim that things like Biden thinking the president of Egypt was the president of Mexico was just one moment.
Karl corrected him, saying this wasn't just one incident, and then they pulled out more moments so the audience could see what they normally don't -- Biden's brain breaking, not knowing the name of Hamas, and calling the terrorists the "opposition." A reporter has to help him by telling him "Hamas."
Karl also mentioned Biden claiming he spoke to Mitterand in 2021 when Mitterand has been dead since 1996. Karl explains that their ABC poll shows that over 80 percent think that Biden is too old. More than 80 agreement on anything in any poll in stunning, that's how bad you know it has to be for Biden.
Coons blamed the media -- which largely has ignored such things -- for the opinion of the American public. He said what the poll should have focused on was who was working to secure the border. I don't think Coons wants to go down that road, considering how badly the American people think Biden has done down there. Trying to convince the American people that Trump doesn't care about the border is madness, they know that's his main thing. All the Dems have is attacking Trump. But when people compare, they see there was more money and more peace under Trump -- and more chaos, less money, and more war under Biden. But the Biden people have little else to do but to come and debase themselves this way.
Karl does confront him, showing the poll doesn't support what he, Coons, is saying. That the people also reject him on the border and foreign policy, too.
What Coons wouldn't do was commit to encouraging the release of the record of the Hur interview. If they're claiming it's wrong, why do they seem reluctant to commit to that?
Biden's personal lawyer, Bob Bauer, went on "Face the Nation." Listen as he too skirts the question of whether he would encourage the release of the interview.
Bauer denied Biden had any memory issues, despite what we have all seen.
I think it's safe to say when that is your defense, you might be in a lot of trouble with the American people.
