Former Biden administration officials are reportedly furious with former first lady Jill Biden after her recent comments about Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance against President Donald Trump — and honestly, the backlash was inevitable.
According to Axios reporter Alex Thompson, who co-wrote the book Original Sin examining the scandal surrounding Biden’s cognitive decline, members of Biden’s inner circle have been flooding him with reactions after Jill Biden publicly discussed the now-infamous CNN debate.
In comments reported by The Atlantic ahead of the release of her upcoming memoir, Jill Biden claimed she thought her husband might have been “having a stroke” or could have been “drugged” during the debate performance that stunned millions of Americans watching live.
Yes, seriously. After months of media gaslighting and insisting Americans “didn’t see what they saw,” the excuses are somehow getting even more unbelievable. Apparently voters were expected to ignore the confusion, the freezing moments, and the inability to finish sentences because… maybe it was a mystery illness or secret drugs. Washington fiction writers are probably taking notes.
Thompson revealed that many former Biden aides simply “don’t believe” Jill Biden’s explanation and are increasingly frustrated by her attempts to reshape the narrative surrounding the debate disaster that ultimately shattered confidence in Biden’s re-election campaign.
The debate itself became a turning point in American politics, with millions witnessing Biden struggle repeatedly against Trump on stage. The performance intensified long-standing concerns about Biden’s mental sharpness and fueled growing pressure inside the Democrat Party.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump emerged from the debate looking exactly like what Americans were craving: energetic, confident, and fully in command. While Democrats continue arguing over excuses and damage control, Trump continues focusing on strength, leadership, and putting America first.
At the end of the day, Americans trust what they can see with their own eyes — and no amount of last-minute explanations can erase that debate stage reality.
