During the first half of 2024, the Democrat and media efforts to gaslight about Joe Biden's condition were enormous and obviously ridiculous at the same time.
Remember "sharp as a tack"? We do.
Never forget that legacy media told America that Joe Biden was at the top of his game and hid his cognitive decline from the people.

Then the Biden/Trump debate took place and that spin was no longer possible.
Believe it or not, there are still people who wish the effort to cover up Biden's cognitive state went even further, up to and including having him not debate Trump.
One of the brain trust on The View, Sunny Hostin, is among those who think Biden might be in the White House today if only his handlers convinced him to skip the debate with Trump.
“Had Biden just stayed in the White House and said, ‘I’m not gonna debate this man because he’s morally bankrupt,’ Biden might be the president today.”

Sunny Hostin is back to her absolutely garbage takes. Biden was clearly unfit for office; some of us saw it years in advance… pic.twitter.com/dg1BB5KK4L

"If everybody would have just covered up Biden's condition even harder he might still be president" is the take of the week.
Also, no candidate is choosing to not debate now because Biden’s infamous debate performance. Are they nearly 80 and cognitively impaired?

This is such a dumb take. She’s acting like the general public made a mountain out of a molehill with Biden’s debate performance, so now…
The View is certainly the show to turn to if you're after only the dumbest of takes.
And this is yet another example of why I call it @TheView of absolute stupidity, hate & misinformation

That's a dangerous combination.
