First lady Dr. Jill Biden was a guest on “Sunday Morning” this week, where CBS News correspondent Rita Braver tossed her a few softballs at Camp David. Biden talked about her teaching career, as she teaches two days a week in person at Northern Virginia Community College. She also talked about the job of being the first lady and was even asked about chatter that she’s one of President Joe Biden’s “most important advisors.”
Braver tossed in a curveball, though, asking what the first lady thought of suggestions that her husband’s mental fitness isn’t quite what it should be as the most powerful person in the world.
Reporter: "Quite a few Americans have some questions about the president’s current mental fitness."

Quite a few million Americans. There are things that can’t just be passed off as a “stutter.”
Show her the highlight reel

"I think"? Wow, that's an answer, that leaves options open.

Is that her professional opinion as a doctor?

If Joe was my Dad, I’d tell my Mom that he shouldn’t drive anymore.

This oddly doesn’t reassure me.
But what do you expect her to say, honesty?
— Kyle Ratliff (@TheFountainhea3) December 13, 2021
She also believes if she covers her own eyes, no one can see her. 😳

Well, there’s our answer. Let’s put it to rest, he’s fine. We should all accept it and move on. 🤪

Denial? Or just oblivious?

Wrong person to ask.

And now we have questions about her mental fitness
— SayItAintSo (@SayItAintTroo) December 13, 2021
She should be embarrassed that she let him get exposed
— thomas Miller (@tamiller1979) December 13, 2021
That’s not a good enough response, Doctor.

Jill Biden is the enabler in chief.
— RaRa© ✨ (@Moi_RaRa) December 13, 2021
She is in denial and we are all screwed.

A smarter response would have been to acknowledge people’s concern for her husband with appreciation; then disparage them by being offended. But she’s too caught up in the lie that he’s fit for office. 🤡👎

So is she saying that he has always been a complete idiot??
— Robby McClung (@robbymcclung) December 13, 2021
Ridiculous that people question the obvious decline of this man happening right in front of them? This is why he is kept from speaking on camera as much as possible.
— EOD_Robi (@RobiEod) December 13, 2021
I mean, what do you expect her to say
— DreaminALife (@dreaminALifee) December 13, 2021
The entire world reports on his cognitive decline
— Bobby (@Bobby21097287) December 13, 2021
Maybe a better question is…"Jill why aren't you getting Joe help for his obvious cognitive decline?"
— Suzanne Bird (@pearlskylar1) December 13, 2021
We have a feeling they’re helping out somehow whenever they prop him up for a CNN town hall or something.
