Psaki: Cover-Up of Biden Senility? Huh?

Come on, man. Even the media has begun to admit — grudgingly and while covering up their own part of it — that the White House covered up Joe Biden’s cognitive collapse in the White House. Don’t micturate on our heads and then tell us about all of the precipitation in the area.

Jen Psaki left the White House in May 2022, she reminds Semafor’s Ben Smith in his podcast, so she claims to not know what took place after her departure. We’ll get back to that in a moment, but Psaki gripes about the “right wing” talking points about Biden’s cognitive status going back to 2019 and 2020. Smith chortles along with this rather than challenging Psaki about her claims, while she declares “cover up” to be a loaded term.

Psaki also claims that the Joe Biden that showed up for the June 27 debate with Trump was the first time she ever saw that version of Biden:

MSNBC anchor Jen Psaki defended the Biden administration that once employed her by suggesting they didn’t cover up then-President Joe Biden‘s mental decline, that it just happened “quite quickly.”

Psaki served as the White House press secretary during the first half of Biden’s term. In the months since Biden left office, many revelations have emerged about his mental acuity while serving as president of the United States, even before and while he was running for reelection. According to Psaki, his staff never tried to hide his mental state, but he declined rapidly.

“I left in May of 2022 — just for the facts here — and I have seen Biden once since then when I took my daughter to the holiday party this last December after he had lost. So I hadn’t seen him in person during that period of time. I never saw that person not a single time — and I was in the Oval Office every day — that was on that debate stage. I’m not a doctor. Aging happens quite quickly,” Psaki said on the Mixed Signals podcast on Saturday.

Ahem. How does Psaki explain this sequence in April 2022, when she still worked at the White House? Biden went to talk to people on the rope line at the White House Easter egg roll, and the Easter Bunny bodily intervened:

To my recollection, the White House aide in the bunny suit has never been specifically identified. However, media did report at the time (the few outlets that bothered to report on it at all) that the aide was believed to have worked in Psaki’s comms department. Someone at the White House told that aide to keep Biden from interacting with reporters and spectators, and cared more about preventing it than they cared about how it looked. The idea that no one saw Biden’s cognitive decline during Psaki’s tenure is absurd; there is no other explanation for having a costumed aide physically block the President of the United States from interacting with the press.

Psaki insists that “cover up” is “a very loaded term,” to which Smith agrees, saying that it might just be self-delusion by Biden’s team:

Psaki didn’t entertain the notion of a political cover-up from her former colleagues.

“It’s a very loaded term, I think. A cover-up is often like a crime. People use that term when they refer to Watergate or the covering up of not sharing public information and about a war,” she said.

You better believe it’s a crime. A cover-up of a president’s incapacity is a fraud on the American people. Voters put Joe Biden in office, and if he was not the person exercising the executive authority, then someone or some others were doing so illegitimately. That would be worse than Watergate, exponentially so. It violates the Constitution (especially the 25th Amendment), and strips the electorate of their agency in choosing the person to hold and use executive authority. Not only that, but the same people tried to prop Biden up for a second term in office, so that they could continue to exercise presidential authority through fraud and deception.

And the gripes about the “right-wing messaging” are simply ludicrous and expose Psaki as an unserious hack. The White House spent years lying about Biden’s condition and getting the Protection Racket Media to help cover it up. They claimed that Biden’s aphasiac moments on stage were due to his childhood stutter; they created the term “cheap fakes” to explain videos of his senile moments in public; they installed the short staircase on Air Force One to cover up Biden’s mobility issues.They insisted right until that June 2024 presidential debate that Biden was Sharp As A Tack and Running Rings Around Aides Half His Age. Karine Jean-Pierre was a particular locus of that propagandizing, with the American news media swallowing and regurgitating it gleefully in an attempt to get American voters to discount the evidence of their own eyeballs.

 And now that the secret has been exposed, the media has launched its new Now It Can Be Told literary genre to finally report on how Biden’s encroaching dementia sent up clues all along, with the White House covering it up. This genre notably excludes their own participation in the fraud, of course. 

This cover-up should permanently stain everyone who participated in it. But it should stain more those who want to continue the cover-up, and those who chortle along with it, 

The Protection Racket Media is simply shameless. They will never hold White House aides accountable for saddling this country with a senile president, nor themselves for enabling the cover-up and participating in it. These are “cheap fake” journalists, activists with a press badge, and the only way to hold them accountable is to support independent voices and platforms to expose these frauds.
