Inject Into My Veins: Visibly Stunned Chuck Todd Admits What Biden's Critics Have Said About Him Is True

Sister Toldjah reporting for RedState 

During the RedState liveblog of the first 2024 presidential debate, some of my colleagues predicted that it was only a matter of time before the same media folks yada yadaing about "cheap fakes" as it relates to video clips of an incoherent Joe Biden would do a complete reversal post-debate and perhaps would even suggest Biden withdraw as the nominee.

Sure enough, that is exactly what happened. As RedState's Levon reported, calls are already growing in liberal media circles and beyond for Biden to be replaced as the nominee either at the Democratic National Convention or maybe even sooner than that. 

CBS News even noted that "There are at least some House Democrats who are gathered tonight watching this together, talking about talking to the White House about having him step down. That's how bad it was, in their view."

Over at NBC News, resident Biden apologist Chuck Todd was particularly sour-faced and sullen about Biden's dismal debate performance, although once you hear what he has to say, you'll wonder if he was upset about how poorly Biden performed or if he was more upset over having to basically admit that everything Biden's critics have said about his age and fitness to lead was true:

"You know, one of the things was when either candidate looked like the caricature that the other campaign has been trying to paint of them - and at the end of the day, Joe Biden looks like the caricature that conservative media has been painting. And there were no clips tonight, right, this was - you saw it before your eyes.

Look, I don't want to just tell you what I think here. I've been talking to a lot of leaders in the Democratic Party, electeds, coalition leaders. There's a full-on panic about this performance. Not like, 'Oh, this is recoverable.' It is more of an 'Okay,  he's gotta step aside.' There's a lot of that chatter. This is about as bad of a performance in order to - that Biden could have delivered if his goal was to try to sort of calm the waters among Democrats."

Watch: 

As I mentioned in an earlier write-up, NBC News/MSNBC political analyst Elise Jordan warned on Friday that Biden "absolutely cannot have a senior moment at this debate" because focus group Democrats she'd talked to in states like Michigan and Wisconsin had stressed that they had serious concerns about Biden's age and physical fitness.

It is "an albatross that is hanging around this candidate and campaign," she also said.

It's also now an albatross around the necks of Biden's propagandists in the mainstream press like Todd who have been gaslighting the American people for three and a half years and who now have no choice but to admit to their viewers and readers that "the right" has been correct about Joe Biden all along.
