Dr. Jill Biden, our nation’s former First Lady, is a notorious liar. Throughout her husband’s four-year term as President, she frequently lied about his health. Former President Joe Biden would repeatedly have embarrassing episodes, such as memory lapses, making nonsensical statements, shaking hands with the air, being unable to exit a stage, or walking alone into the woods. Despite the evidence that millions of Americans witnessed often, Dr. Jill would maintain that her husband was in great shape.
However, now that she is selling a book, Dr. Jill is changing her laughable story. In recent interviews, she claims that there was only one episode involving Joe Biden that concerned her. It was his horrific debate performance against President Donald Trump on CNN in 2024.
Dr. Jill argues that his responses to debate questions were so awful that she thought he was “having a stroke.” She also wondered whether he was “drugged” or “short-circuiting.” In her new book, View from the East Wing, Dr. Jill wrote of her concern that the debate viewers would “assume this is how he is all the time.”
Obviously, one of the main reasons she wrote the book was to dispel these notions and defend her actions as First Lady. Dr. Jill outrageously claims that Joe Biden never acted that way before or after the debate. In a CBS interview promoting her book, Dr. Jill was asked by reporter Rita Braver, “What happened?” She said that Joe Biden’s debate debacle “frightened” her. She asserted that she had “never ever seen Joe like that before or since, never.”
Of course, her responses were total nonsense, for Biden was being himself on the debate stage. He was acting on television just as Americans had witnessed throughout his gaffe-ridden term as President. This is why he earned the nicknames “Bumbling Biden” or “Sleepy Joe,” as President Trump often called him.
Today, Dr. Jill is engaged in revisionist history and wants Americans to believe the fiction that she was shocked at how poorly he performed. Yet, if she were a truly loving wife, she would never have allowed her husband to take the debate stage.
She knew how mentally compromised he was at the time and continues to be today. Instead, she allowed him to humiliate himself in front of millions of people.
Why? It is easy to understand her motivations. Dr. Jill wanted to hold onto her coveted role as First Lady. It was very nice to receive glitzy invitations, be invited to pose for magazine covers, and live in the most desirable house in the world. Sure, it was difficult to give up such an enviable position, but what about her husband’s health? If she loved her husband so much, wouldn’t that be her priority?
Obviously not, as President Trump noted. He wondered on social media why Dr. Jill “never rushed onto the stage to help her troubled husband, as any good wife would do,” especially if she supposedly thought he was having a “stroke.”
We know why, Mr. President. Dr. Jill did not think her husband was having a “stroke”; he was acting like himself. He was doing what he had done countless times before and a myriad of times since, acting forgetful, having a hard time articulating, and showing clear signs of mental incompetence.
Who can forget Joe Biden trying to conduct press conferences? As President, he seldom engaged with the media, but on the rare occasions that he did, he used “cheat sheets.” His notes included the reporters’ names, the questions they were likely to ask, and the answers. Everything was scripted, and the media played along.
Thus, too many members of the media joined Dr. Jill in covering up the real story about Joe Biden’s declining health. Joining them in telling lies about Joe Biden’s health were scores of political aides and Democrat politicians. Many of them professed that he was “sharp as a tack” behind closed doors. One especially unforgivable liar was MS Now anchor Joe Scarborough, who absurdly argued that the 2024 “version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.”
In trying to rehabilitate Biden, Scarborough reminded Americans that the bar to be “the best Biden ever” was extremely low. He was always a partisan hack, never a statesman. His disgraceful performance as Chairman of the US Senate Judiciary Committee in harassing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should not be forgiven or forgotten. Nor should Americans overlook his plagiarism scandal, which exploded during his disastrous 1988 presidential campaign.
During Biden’s long career, he was extremely partisan and quite liberal, but he was never a poor communicator or continually forgetful. This happened more frequently as he grew older. It was displayed regularly during his term as President, but Democrats always denied what every American could clearly see.
The denials ended after Biden’s debate disaster. It was so atrocious that the mounting evidence was impossible for even lying Democrats and their media partners to ignore.
During the debate against President Trump, Joe Biden claimed that “We finally beat Medicare.” Who knows what he was referencing, maybe the pharmaceutical companies. Of course, President Trump used it to his advantage by stating Biden “beat it to death. He is destroying Medicare.”
At a rally after the Biden/Trump debate, instead of admitting the truth, Dr. Jill told supporters that her husband “did such a great job.” Standing next to Joe Biden, she praised him, “You answered every question. You knew all the facts.” Dr. Jill then asked the crowd, “What did Trump do?” Her answer, “Lie!”
In contrast, the real liar was Dr. Jill, who knew that her husband torpedoed his chances of a second term with his debate catastrophe. Now, she is lying in her new book, hoping that Americans buy the fiction that President Biden just had one bad night.
This effort to rewrite history will fail because Americans know the truth about Joe Biden, and now they know it about lying Dr. Jill as well.
