Unsuccessful Damage Control Attempt
In a recent interaction with George Stephanopoulos, President Joe Biden aimed to rectify the fallout from his less than stellar debate performance against Donald Trump. Rather than restoring his image, Biden seemed to further tarnish it. This interview underscored all that’s problematic with Biden’s presidency – his frail voice, his disjointed speech, his defensive attitude, and his occasional incoherence.
A Leader Lacking Strength and Coherence
From the get-go, Biden’s demeanor was feeble and unsure. Stephanopoulos posed questions about how the past three and a half years had affected him physically, mentally, and emotionally. Biden’s response was fragmented and lacked focus. He mentioned having a “bad run” but abruptly veered towards an unclear optimism about America’s future. It was evident that Biden was attempting to cast things in a positive light, but his lack of lucidity made it challenging to take him at face value.
Defensiveness and Confusion
When Stephanopoulos probed further into Biden’s personal health, the situation deteriorated. Biden became defensive, asserting that he was fit despite admitting that he couldn’t “run the 10 flat.” His responses were riddled with contradictions. At one point he proclaimed excellent health, and at another moment, he revealed that his doctors had informed him he was exhausted.
Evading the Cognitive Test
One of the most conspicuous moments occurred when Stephanopoulos asked if Biden would consent to an independent medical evaluation, including neurological and cognitive tests. Biden outright refused, maintaining that he already undergoes cognitive tests “every single day.” This avoidance only deepens doubts about his mental fitness. If Biden is as healthy as he claims, why not substantiate it with a comprehensive test? His refusal implies that there’s something he prefers to keep concealed.
A National Disgrace
Throughout the interview, Biden’s disjointed and nonsensical responses were a source of national embarrassment. He attempted to emphasize his achievements, such as bolstering NATO and addressing global threats, but his lack of clarity and focus undermined his message. Instead of exuding strength and assurance, Biden appeared bewildered and detached.
Stephanopoulos’s Unexpectedly Tough Questions
Unexpectedly, Stephanopoulos asked some hard-hitting questions that put Biden in a tight spot. He pressed Biden on his health and cognitive abilities, compelling him to face the concerns many Americans harbor about his capacity to serve another term. While Stephanopoulos is typically seen as a sympathetic interviewer, in this instance, he did an admirable job of holding Biden accountable.
Final Thoughts
This interview was intended to be damage control for Joe Biden, but it only accentuated his flaws. His weak voice, rambling answers, and defensiveness were all too evident. His unwillingness to agree to a cognitive test raises a significant concern that cannot be dismissed. Biden’s performance was a national embarrassment and a stark indication that he is unfit to lead. It’s high time the American people demand better from their president.

Yes he is tested everyday and everyday he fails.
Some questions were a bit tough. But as always, George is terrified of offending liberals, so he let Biden off the hook by not following up.
