One Line Demolished Biden's Defense Of His Mental Health During Sloppy NBC News Interview

Posted • July 16, 2024: President Joe Biden sat down with NBC News’ Lester Holt, which was yet another foray into how this aging president doesn’t have the mental capacity to do the job. Like his sit-down with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, Biden sounded tired and incapable of delivering lines about his mental health and the failed assassination attempt on former President Trump with the confidence and stability needed to quell concerns about his ability to do the job. Three things were notable about this interview: Biden seemed incapable or reluctant to take responsibility for increasing the temperature of the so-called heated political rhetoric emanating from liberals in recent months. He also destroyed his talking point on being mentally sharp since he thought his Secret Service director was a man. And the president once again dabbled in poll denialism.

The national polls mean bupkis because a close race is a Trump advantage, any way you cut it. Biden must be polling much better nationally to be near a baseline where a path to 270 is possible. Right now, Biden is heading for defeat. “My mental acuity’s been pretty damn good,” says the man who referred to Secret Service Director Kimberley Cheatle as a man:

Does Biden not know who the director of the Secret Service is?

NBC: "Is it acceptable that you have still not heard, at least publicly, from the Secret Service Director?"

Biden: "Oh, I've heard from him."

The Secret Service Director is a woman. (…)
