The Dems' failed attempt to hide Biden dementia
...
The Biden administration’s carefully curated image of a robust, capable leader unraveled spectacularly on national television, yet loyalists like former special assistant Michael LaRosa still cling to a narrative that defies reality. On Fox News’ Hannity Monday, host Sean Hannity didn’t mince words, calling LaRosa “full of crap” for denying any signs of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during his White House tenure. The exchange laid bare a persistent effort by Biden’s allies to dismiss mounting evidence of his faltering health, a truth that became impossible to ignore after a disastrous 2024 debate performance.
For years, Republicans raised alarms about Biden’s mental and physical capacity, only to be met with deflections from Democrats and their media allies. Videos of Biden stumbling, misspeaking, or appearing disoriented circulated widely, yet the White House dismissed them as “cheap fakes” meant to tarnish the president’s image. Former press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre leaned heavily on this excuse, pointing fingers at Republicans while ignoring the growing unease among even Biden’s own staff. The administration’s insistence on projecting strength, despite clear signs of frailty, now appears as a calculated effort to mislead the public.
Hannity’s confrontation with LaRosa exposed the fragility of this defense. “Michael, you’re going to come on this program, and you’re going to look America in the eye, and you’re going to tell us that you did not see any cognitive decline in Joe Biden? Because we saw it. We chronicled it starting in 2019,” Hannity pressed. LaRosa’s attempt to stand firm crumbled under scrutiny, as he insisted, “Well, I am because I’ve been very consistent about that, Sean, with all of your colleagues on all of the Fox News programming since I left the White House at the end of 2022.” His words rang hollow against a backdrop of undeniable footage.
The release of Original Sin by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson in May 2025 offered a d*mning glimpse into the Biden White House’s inner workings. The book revealed aides so concerned about Biden’s condition that they considered using a wheelchair post-2020 election. These revelations, drawn from interviews with multiple sources, confirmed what many had long suspected: Biden’s team was not just aware of his decline but actively grappling with how to manage it behind closed doors. The public, however, was fed a steady diet of assurances that all was well.

This is an example of Democrats bitterly clinging to power by using Biden as a prop for their agenda. It was a disservice to the country and to Biden. It gives the impression that those Democrats put the party ahead of the country by pretending he was competent.
