“This is the biggest scandal in America. And the level and volume of people who dedicated themselves to lying to everyone at home about this man’s condition for four-straight years up through this summer is breathtaking.”

National stories abound this week about the concerted effort by media, the White House and Democratic officials lying to cover up Pres. Biden’s impaired mental capacity. Much of the commentary was sparked by a detailed Wall Street Journal report based on fifty interviews of people in or close to the White House. You can read it here and see that Jennings’ comment above is no exaggeration. The coverup was there from the start, even while Biden was Obama’s vice president.
High among the guilty is one who remained steadfast and outspoken throughout Biden’s term in denying Biden’s impairment and claiming firsthand knowledge that Biden was fine. That’s Gov. JB Pritzker, who served as a Biden proxy during his candidacy.
Among comments Pritzker made:
“I’ve been with the President of the United States many times,” Pritzker said in February. “He is on the ball. The man knows more than most of us have forgotten.”
“Of course,” answered Pritzker when asked in July if Biden was “physically and mentally capable” of serving a second term.”
Pritzker resorted to smearing the special prosecutor who declined to prosecute Biden in part because of his mental condition, saying that a jury would see him as an “elderly man with a poor memory.” That was Robert Hur, an exceptionally well respected career prosecutor who reviewed the evidence and found that Biden had illegally taken possession of classified documents but was too frail to prosecute. “I smell a rat,” said Pritzker after Hur released his report, which included Hur’s conclusions about Biden’s conditions based on a deposition of Biden. “It was extremely unfair,” Pritzker said, for a Trump appointee, originally to the Department of Justice, to offer his own opinions about the mental acuity or age of the president of the United States.” In truth, there’s clearly nothing unfair about a prosecutor citing his reasons for believing that a jury would have found somebody too infirm to convict.
Pritzker even sought to make Biden’s age an asset, arguing that Biden had made age his “friend” and used his years to become “a gem of a human.” He went on: “I’ve thought a lot about why people care so much about age in this coming election, and I want to talk to you about it. We need to stop dismissing concerns about the physical age of a candidate, especially when that concern comes from a young person. Instead, what people are afraid of is the age of the candidates’ ideas,” he said.
