Democrats’ defense of Biden essentially amounts to ‘Just trust us, bro.’
Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer defended his party’s leader Joe Biden from concerns his cognitive abilities are fading, calling worries over his mental health a right wing conspiracy.
Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Schumer claimed the rumors of mental decline are overblown as Biden is as good as he was over 30 years ago.
“I talk to President Biden, you know regularly, sometimes several times in a week, or usually several times in a week,” Schumer said, adding, “His mental acuity is great. It’s fine.”

“It’s as good as it’s been over the years,” he continued.
“I’ve been speaking to him for 30 years since we worked on the Brady Bill and the assault weapons ban when I was a young congressman and he’s, he’s fine.”
The top level Democrat went on to smear critiques over Biden’s age as “propaganda.
“All this right wing propaganda that he’s mental acuity is declined is wrong,” Schumer said, adding, “He’s going to win the election because he has a great record because more and more Americans are seeing that record.”
Schumer’s defense of Biden, which basically amounts to “Just trust me, bro,” comes as the White House announced Monday Biden won’t undergo a cognitive test during an upcoming physical, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also telling reporters Biden’s fine because she has normal interactions with him everyday.
“When we have meetings with him and his staff he is constantly pushing us, trying to get more information, and so that has been my experience with this president,” Jean-Pierre claimed.

Even leftist comedian Jon Stewart, emerging from retirement to spread liberal propaganda this election year, mocked the White House’s awkward defense of Biden’s mental health, while also jesting Trump is also too old to serve.

Concerns over Biden’s declining cognitive faculties were heightened following the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report into Biden’s illegal storing of classified documents case last week, in which Hur wrote Biden couldn’t remember the years he served office or the date of his son’s death.
Could destroying confidence in Biden’s ability to think straight be part of an elaborate Deep State plan to swap him for a more suitable Democrat candidate heading into the 2024 election, as many have suggested?
