Obama Throws Biden Under The Bus?

How long did Obama know Biden was unfit? This is a massive scandal.

In a notable shift, former Obama spokesman and liberal commentator Tommy Vietor has acknowledged that criticisms of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on Joe Biden’s cognitive health may have been unjustified. This admission comes as new revelations surface about Biden’s mental acuity during his presidency.

Vietor Reconsiders Hur’s Assessment

Vietor, known for his role in the Obama administration and as a co-host of “Pod Save America,” initially criticized Hur’s portrayal of Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory.” However, after reviewing the book Original Sin by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson, Vietor has revised his stance. He now concedes that Hur’s context was crucial in explaining the decision not to charge Biden over his handling of classified documents.

“Reading the book helped me understand why Hur emphasized that context when choosing not to charge Biden. Looking back, I think much of the criticism directed at Hur — including my own — may have been misplaced,” Vietor posted on social media.

Leaked Audio Highlights Memory Lapses

Recent audio from Biden’s 2023 interview with Special Counsel Hur has intensified scrutiny over the former president’s cognitive abilities. In the recordings, Biden struggles to recall significant personal and political events, including the year his son Beau died and the timeline of his vice presidency. These lapses have raised concerns about his mental fitness during his time in office.

Democratic Party Faces Internal Reckoning

The release of Original Sin has sparked a broader conversation within the Democratic Party about transparency and leadership. The book alleges that Biden’s inner circle was aware of his declining health but chose to shield it from the public, prioritizing political strategy over honesty. This perceived cover-up has led to calls for introspection and accountability within the party ranks.

Implications for Future Elections

As the Democratic Party grapples with the fallout from these revelations, questions arise about its direction and leadership choices moving forward. The acknowledgment of Biden’s cognitive decline by figures like Vietor underscores the need for the party to address concerns about candidate fitness and transparency to regain public trust.
