Speaker Johnson sees ‘cognitive decline’ in Biden: ‘It’s just reality’

[Social Media]

 

New House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told Fox News on Thursday night that he sees a “cognitive decline” in President Biden, echoing one of the network’s frequent criticisms of the president.  

“Do you see in Joe Biden a cognitive decline? And if so, is that a danger to the country?” Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Johnson.

 

“I do, I think most of us do,” the 51-year-old Speaker responded. “That’s reality. It’s not a personal slight to him, it has to do with age and acumen, and everyone’s different. Everyone ages differently.”

“Clearly, if you look at a tape of Joe Biden making an argument in the Senate Judiciary Committee a few years ago, and you see a speech that he delivers now, there’s a difference,” Johnson continued. “Again, I mean, it’s not a personal insult to him. It’s just reality.”

 

Johnson became Speaker of the House on Wednesday, after weeks of turmoil in the lower chamber, where Republicans nominated but failed to elect three other candidates. The President and Johnson met Thursday at the White House.

“Jill and I congratulate Speaker Johnson on his election,” Biden said in a statement on Johnson’s election Wednesday. “As I said when this process began, whoever the Speaker is, I will seek to work with them in good faith on behalf of the American people.”

“That’s a principle I have always held to, and that I’ve acted on – delivering major bipartisan legislation on infrastructure, outcompeting China, gun reform, and veterans care,” Biden’s statement continued.

One would have to be wilfully blind and deaf not to have concerns as to Biden's physical health.

As for his mental health, not being a qualified psych person I can only have an opinion on that and it's not a positive one.

Just speaking the truth. Not a popular thing to do in 2023 but everyone can see it.

If Republicans really believed Biden was in cognitive decline he’d be a gift to them at the 2024 election, they’d shelve what they are calling a calling ‘*impeachment hearing*’ against him and leave him in place for the election.

 

*There is no ‘impeachment hearing’ it’s not a thing since the House has not voted for such a hearing. When Speaker Johnson or any Republican talks about an ‘impeachment hearing’ they are lying through their teeth.

But like you say, just speaking the truth, not a popular thing in 2023, or at least not in dine quarters.

Democrats know he is in decline as well. He is not Trump, that's all that matters. They'd vote for Kermit the frog to keep Trump out. 

 

Ironically Kermit would do a better job.

I take it you realize you do not speak for Democrats.

To be fair and balanced one need only watch Fox news...

The Republicans don't have to worry about cognitive decline in their ranks when they have no cognition worth a darn to decline. Peeled zeros.

[LosLobo]

Seems farcical that Johnson, aka MAGA Mike, who was the architect of pushback against the ‘stollen’ election - one of the biggest lies in US history - is trying to support his rhetoric by quoting ‘It’s just reality’ with co-conspirator Hannity from Faux News.

 

Yet, he is surprisingly quiet about the ‘Person, woman, man, camera, US half-wit.

Had I been able to vote in the US I'd have voted for Kermit to keep her out of the W H.

Whatever Trump's failings, he was entertaining.

 

Now, I'd still vote for him if Biden or Harris ( especially Harris ) was the alternative. The Democrats need to come up with a decent candidate.

Never fear, Gavin Newsom is in China and getting the grand tour from Xi.  I'm sure it's all just a coincidence though and has nothing to do with the Democratic party wanting Joe to be a one and done guy.

I don't think Xi or Newson are MAGA.  However they are fond of Authoritarianism. How did you get it so wrong with thinking they are MAGA?

Add J Nadler to list of cognitively challenged, so endemic within the ranks of the liberals.

Well, some people are getting old, others are still young and believe the world has been created in seven days (and also that the 2020 elections have been rigged).
