The gaslighting that came out of the Biden White House for the last four years peaked shortly after Joe's debate with Donald Trump that ended up being the event that exposed the "sharp as a tack" defenses and "cheap fake" excuses as the huge lies they were.
However, some were determined to go down with the ship. After the debate that was a disaster for Biden, Democrats had already set in motion a plan to replace him with Kamala Harris -- an ironic "coup" was taking place. Amid reports that Biden would be stepping aside (or tossed aside as it were), we saw denials like this one from then White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates:
Not true. https://t.co/9To6Pbv6OA

Because all these people did was lie for a living, that meant the opposite was true, and sure enough before too long Biden was out and Harris was in. The result was an all-around disaster for the Democrats, which was payback from the voters for how disastrous they had been for America.
Since leaving the White House after four years that ended Joe Biden's political career and possibly that of Kamala Harris, Bates reportedly has a new gig in... strategic messaging and crisis management. Legit LOL here:
Former WH spokesman @AndrewBatesNC -- who insisted that @JoeBiden can "perform around the clock" & "maintains a schedule that tires younger aides” -- launches a PR firm to offer crisis communications, strategic messaging & reputation management. https://t.co/AkCX8sagco

I was sure glad I wasn't drinking anything when I first ran across that one.
Via Axios:
Andrew Bates, a veteran communicator for Joe Biden's White House and presidential campaign, is launching Wolfpack Strategies, a strategic communications firm based in Washington.
Why it matters: As White House senior deputy press secretary, Bates was a prominent voice for President Biden. Bates is among the first of Biden's White House crew to hang out a shingle.
[...]
Between the lines: Bates says his firm will offer crisis communications, press relations, strategic messaging and reputation management. He plans to help clients simplify complex subjects and avoid and defuse political issues.
If the past four years have been any clue, the firm's specialty will in fact be "how to lie ineffectively."

Yep, that's the guy!
This is like hiring John Fetterman to dress you for the ball. https://t.co/PvyOJXwpSb

The last candidate whose reputation this guy managed was actually forced to drop out of his race, had historically low approval ratings, and now everyone thinks he’s a senile fool.

With that in mind, I do think every Democrat should hire @AndrewBatesNC! https://t.co/ZZUp5g4zYO
Yes indeed, hopefuly many Democrats hire this firm as future elections get closer!
