The mental decline of Joe Biden has been partially reported since the middle of 2024 in a series of stories. Still, it now looks like six key people closest to Biden avoided discussing the age issue to prevent presenting him with bad news.
What was bad news for Biden is now a horror story for the American people.
According to the New York Times, six key people protected Biden from criticism that he was dragging down the hopes of a Democratic presidential win if he did not drop out of the race.
According to the New York Times, the six people were:
• Jill Biden, the first lady.
• Hunter Biden, his surviving son, who firmly believed Biden could win.
• Mike Donilon, the president’s longtime strategist
• Steve Ricchetti, the counselor to Biden, knew when and how to deliver information,
• Annie Tomasini, Biden’s deputy chief of staff.
• Anthony Bernal, the first lady’s senior aide, managed Biden’s public schedule to preserve his energy and hide his frailties.
The first layer of motives for each of these people was loyalty to Biden. The two family members had their motives, including personal gain, as in the case of Hunter Biden.
The other four people listed in the article have to assume the blame for one of the biggest cover-ups in modern presidential history.
This story is exciting because the reporters uncovered the names of the people responsible for the coverup. In many DNC debacles, the names of those responsible are never revealed. For instance, voters still need an accounting of the $1.5 billion that Kamala Harris spent on her failed presidential bid. Where is that report?
Covering up the facts about Biden’s mental and physical frailties is a serious charge. The people in this article should answer for their blind obedience and tell us when they knew that Biden was too frail to engage in extended presidential campaigning and why they covered it up. As Biden suggested, he would probably not have lived to serve out the four years even if he was elected.
Had these six people been honest with the Democratic Party voters, the Dems would have mounted a better campaign with a better candidate.
The DNC still needs to publicly investigate and report this sad situation if it wants to regain the trust of average Democratic voters. Until then, the DNC leadership should be considered suspect since they may also have played a role in the most significant cover-up in modern presidential history.
