During a press briefing on Monday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), accused Republicans of pushing ‘conspiracy theories’ about Joe Biden. This is especially rich at a time when multiple members of the liberal media are writing books about the cover-up of Biden’s mental decline and new questions are arising about the curious timing of Biden’s cancer diagnosis.
Which supposed ‘conspiracy theories’ about Biden have turned out to be untrue lately?
The Washington Examiner reports:
Biden cover-up marks the end of the “conspiracy theory” defenseIt’s no secret that political parties rely on a well-worn playbook for their daily operations. Leaders convene, a play is chosen, the ball is snapped.During his weekly presser, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) ran a Democratic staple, the equivalent of a running back dive between the tackles. In response to questions about the cover-up of former President Joe Biden‘s declining health and cancer diagnosis, Jeffries accused Republicans of “peddling conspiracy theories” intended to make us look “backward at a time when they are actually taking healthcare away from the American people. No, as House Democrats, we are going to look forward.”
There’s that ridiculous ‘look forward’ line again. You’ll notice in the clip that a reporter asks Jeffries a specific question about his party and their failure to share the truth about Joe Biden sooner, which he completely ignores. Watch:
In terms of the ‘look forward’ narrative, liberal pundit Bill Press clearly got the memo.
He writes at The Hill:
Democrats need to look forward, not backI am a liberal columnist, commentator, podcaster and sometime political activist. I have been a Democrat all my life. But I am still stunned by how dumb Democrats can be.Like now. Fueled by tidbits leaked from Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s blockbuster new book, “Original Sin,” Democrats are rushing to distance themselves from Joe Biden, condemning him for waiting too long to decide not to run again, and blaming him for everything bad that’s happening under President Trump — an exercise that seems especially cruel and unnecessary, given Biden’s recent diagnosis with aggressive Stage Four prostate cancer…I realize that most of my fellow Democrats and commentators are in a hurry to scurry down that easy, beat-up-on-Biden rabbit hole, but count me out. It’s a colossal waste of time, energy, resources and attention.I’m not saying Tapper and Thompson are wrong. I agree that Joe Biden should not have run for reelection. I agree he should have dropped out sooner. I agree that his delay in doing so was a factor — one of many, many factors — in the outcome of the 2024 campaign. But what’s done is done.
Hakeem Jeffries and other Democrats can ‘look forward’ all they want, but none of this is going away. The American people deserve to know who was really running the country while Biden was president.
