Report: Democrat Donors Aware of Biden’s ‘Frighteningly Awful’ Cognitive Issues As Early as June 2023
Author and Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward’s word is often considered sacrosanct in leftist/media circles. But he’s thrown them for a bit of a loop in a new book called “War,” released October 15th, which gives fresh insight into what some Democrat movers and shakers knew about Biden’s cognitive issues and when they knew it.
In the book, Woodward quotes some donors on and off the record talking about how Biden looked and sounded “frighteningly awful” when they saw him, with others comparing him to “your 87-year-old senile grandfather” who complimented women’s eyes as he walked around the room:
The first fundraiser hosted by Kevin Scott, the chief technology officer of Microsoft, at his home in Los Gatos on June 19 [2023], was attended by 38 guests, including some of the most serious Democratic donors in [Silicon Valley]. The event raised $2.7 million for Biden’s re-election fund. Guests, however, said that Biden was “frighteningly awful.” It was “like your 87-year-old senile grandfather” wandering around the room, saying to women guests, “your eyes are so beautiful.”[…]And after a small “meet the president” fundraiser attended by about 20 people at the home of philanthroposts Susie and Michael Gelman in Chevy Chase, Maryland, on June 27, 2023, guests described their interactions with Biden as “painful.”“He never completed a sentence ” said Bill Reichblum , cofounder and president of Liberties Journal Foundation, who attended with his wife and father-in-law, a former U.S. ambassador to Romania. “He would start to talk about something, jump somewhere else. He told the same story three times in exactly the same way and it meandered so much. … It was striking.“Frankly, my impression was there were times,” Reichblum said, “it was as though we didn’t exist. He was just rambling and talking as to what came into his head.” Biden seemed to Reichblum like an elderly grandparent or a parent who talks and talks but “makes no sense.”
Axios national political correspondent Alex Thompson shared some of the book’s excerpts on Twitter/X:
If any of this sounds familiar it’s because most of the people reading this could see for the last four years what the media and many on the left tried to hide about Biden, things that spilled out into the open in June 2024 during that now-infamous George Clooney/Julia Roberts fundraiser for Biden and then his disastrous debate performance not long after that:
The revelations from Woodward’s book shine an unflattering spotlight once again on Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris, who has been asked several different times by national media reporters about what she knew and when she knew it about Biden’s cognitive health.
In each instance, the most recent one being an NBC News interview from earlier this week, she’s refused to admit that she saw anything concerning about Biden:
And from the Fox News interview:
And from the CNN interview:
Just as a reminder, during the 2019-2020 Democrat presidential primary campaign season, Biden’s cognitive fitness was an open question among members of the media and some Democrats including a few candidates, as documented at the time by independent journalist Glenn Greenwald, who made the following observation after the Woodward book pages were posted to Twitter/X:
… and because they successfully forced Joe Biden out of the presidential race, installing a candidate in his place that hadn’t earned a single vote as a presidential candidate ever.
Something that should never be forgotten at the end of the day is that the exact same people who now say Kamala Harris is capable and ready to lead this country for four years are the exact same people who told us the same thing about Joe Biden – including Kamala Harris herself.
This is not just a media scandal but a White House scandal, and if Harris wins next month she will have gotten away with it. That’s one of the things people should take into serious consideration before they head to the ballot box.
