Former President Bill Clinton dismissed claims of President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during an interview on “CBS Sunday Morning.”
Reporter Tracy Smith asked Clinton, “Speaking of aging, there is this book that came out talking about Joe Biden and the people around him seeing that he had cognitive and physical decline.
Did you ever have a moment with him where you thought maybe he was unfit to run for president?”
Clinton said, “No.”
Smith repeated, “No.”
Clinton continued:
“I thought he was a good president.
The only concern I thought he had to deal with was, could anybody do that job until they were 86? We’d had several long talks.
I never have seen him and walked away thinking, he can’t do this anymore. He was always on top of his briefs.”
Smith asked again, “You never saw any cognitive decline?”
Clinton said:
“No. I didn’t know anything about any of this.
I haven’t read the book.
I saw President Biden not very long ago, and I thought he was in good shape.”
Smith asked, “Why didn’t you read the book?”
Clinton replied:
“I didn’t want to because he’s not president anymore, and I think he did a good job.
And I think we are facing challenges today with our president in our history.
Some people are trying to use this as a way to blame him for the fact that Trump was reelected.”
Watch:
Despite Clinton’s statements, some Democrats have openly acknowledged Biden’s decline.
Last month, former Obama aide and “Pod Save America” co-host Jon Lovett admitted that despite his concern over Joe Biden‘s obvious mental decline, he kept silent because he “wanted him to f**king win.”
Lovett told Jon Stewart and Jon Favreau that he held his tongue over Biden’s decline, even though it was blatantly obvious.
“I remember feeling I want to talk about this as a huge liability. To talk about this is something Joe Biden can overcome, but I’m not going to go so far as to say, ‘I think Joe Biden must drop out. He is too old to be president,’” Lovett said.
A, because I didn’t know exactly what was going on behind the scenes, but B, if Joe Biden is the candidate, I want him to fu**ng win.”
