“You can forgive people for wondering if we are really living Weekend at Bernie’s right now,” said Fox host Dana Perino
Fox hosts Brett Baier and Dana Perino expressed concern for President Biden on their show yesterday, asking for proof that the President is actually still alive.
“Not physically seeing him—even address a camera in Delaware, let alone an Oval Office statement like LBJ did when he dropped out in March of 1968—it is disconcerting, isn’t it?” Baier asked his fellow host.
“Brett, they didn’t even release a White House still photograph. Nothing! I hope he’s fine. You can forgive people for wondering if we are really living Weekend at Bernie’s right now. Like, proof of life, please.”
BAIER: Not physically seeing Biden – not addressing a camera in Delaware, let alone an Oval Office statement like LBJ did.
PERINO: They didn’t even release a WH still photograph. Nothing. I hope he’s fine, but you can forgive people for wondering if we are really living Weekend… pic.twitter.com/j549P87mIp

Perino continued:
“We want him to be a person that can stand on his own two feet and look the American people in the eye and explain why he’s leaving. Because, without that, your allies, your adversaries, your enemies, your military, your voters are going to ask, ‘Wait, why are you withdrawing? Is it because of health, and if so let us know, so we can pray for you.’ Is it because you were afraid you were going to lose? That’s what Jared Moskowitz just said, the Congressman from Florida.”
President Biden still has COVID-19, and hasn’t been seen publicly since his diagnosis last Wednesday.
Biden’s brother, Frank, has now confirmed that the President’s decision to withdraw was in part motivated by health concerns.
Frank Biden spoke to CBS News and said that he was “incredible proud” of his brother, calling him a “hero.”
In doing so, however, Frank Biden appeared to suggest that his brother’s health may be significantly worsening, using the ominous phrase “whatever time we have left”—which some have taken to mean the President may die.
“I’m incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly, I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left. He is a genuine hero. Country over self. It sounds corny in our cynical political environment, but neither he nor I are cynical. The goal remains the same: defeat Trump and continue the work Joe has done. My hope is that the party rallies around this heroic act.”
When asked directly whether his brother’s “health and vitality” played a major role in his decision to drop out, Frank Biden answered, “In my humble opinion, absolutely.”
