Former First Lady Jill Biden’s press secretary, Michael LaRosa, has revealed that White House staff deliberately misled both the public and their media allies about then-President Joe Biden’s cognitive struggles and declining poll numbers. Speaking with Tara Palmeri at American University’s Sine Institute of Policy and Politics, LaRosa acknowledged that Biden’s inner circle worked to cover up the president’s mental and physical deterioration.
Despite admitting to the deception, LaRosa downplayed the cover-up, claiming, “Every politician, everybody, every human being tries to cover up age.” He admitted that from the very start, the White House was “cognizant” that Biden’s age was a serious issue. He went on to say, “There are some things that are true, the gaslighting. There was a lot of denial of the polling. And I will use the term gaslight because that is what they were doing—the campaign, former colleagues.”
While LaRosa expressed frustration over the White House’s refusal to acknowledge Biden’s sinking poll numbers, he seemed less concerned about the coordinated effort to hide the president’s cognitive decline. Reports last summer from The National Pulse indicated that key Biden insiders—Annie Tomasini, Anthony Bernal, and Ashley Williams—created a protective barrier around Biden, shielding him even from members of his own Cabinet.
When Palmeri pressed LaRosa on whether he was worried about Biden’s ability to run for re-election in 2024, he responded bluntly, “Yes.” He further admitted, “The President’s team was scared to death of impromptu, unscripted, unrehearsed, unpracticed, unchoreographed anything.” While Biden enjoyed public appearances and television interviews, his handlers reportedly feared that any unscripted moment could expose his failing mental state.
These revelations add to growing concerns about Biden’s fitness for office and the extent to which the White House has worked to hide the truth from the American people.
Tell us something we don’t know and have known for all 4+ years. The real question here is why didn’t the Repubs do anything about it. That is the real problem. All of the problems we are now dealing with should have been avoided.
I’m guessing they didn’t do anything because the republicans weren’t in the majority so knew nothing would come of the effort. Dems would just vote against whatever they tried to do. Kamala Harris as V.P should have stepped up and done something but didn’t.
better yet ….WHY isn’t he in dementia jail in GITMO FOR LIFE????????????????
