The media pressure on President Joe Biden is increasing following the disaster in the televised debate with Donald Trump, so much so that journalists are no longer beating around the bush. “Joe Biden, 81, suffers from Alzheimer’s, dementia or another form of degenerative disease? It’s a yes or no question,” a journalist asked the White House spokeswoman during a press briefing. Spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre, visibly annoyed, responded: “I have an answer for you, are you ready? It’s a no.” Reporters have repeatedly returned to the US president’s televised debate with challenger Donald Trump and the spokeswoman reiterated that “we all have a bad night or bad moments,” “that was a bad night.” The spokeswoman recalled that Obama himself admitted to having made mistakes in televised debates. But Biden’s decision is to move forward, she added.
Biden is capable of “recovering” from his debate performance with Trump, the spokeswoman told reporters, adding that the medical team had already said a cognitive assessment “is not necessary” for the 81-year-old US president. “We have been transparent and have released the medical team’s reports every year since he has been in office,” she added. “We are not ignorant of what people have seen,” but it was “a bad night,” “we want to move on” and “turn the page,” Jean-Pierre insisted.
WHAT A GREAT ANSWER!!
“Does Biden have Alzheimer’s, any form of dementia …. It’s a yes or no question.”
Karine Jean-Pierre: “I have an answer for you. Are you ready for it?… It’s a no. And I hope you’re asking the other guy the same exact question.”
