The Gaslights Are On: Cory Book­er Is Clear­ly Still Drink­ing The ‘Joe Biden Is Fine’ Kool-Aid

Sen­a­tor Cory Book­er (D‑NJ) made it clear on Fri­day that he was still will­ing to run cov­er for an obvi­ous­ly dimin­ished for­mer Pres­i­dent Joe Biden — even after a slew of Biden’s for­mer aides and media per­son­al­i­ties have admit­ted just how com­pro­mised he was dur­ing his term in the White House.

Just off his record-set­ting fil­i­buster stunt from ear­li­er in the week, Book­er made an appear­ance on Stephen A. Smith’s pod­cast, and he vis­i­bly balked when Smith asked what he would say to vot­ers who were reluc­tant to trust the Democ­rats who cov­ered up Biden’s obvi­ous decline in the lead up to the 2024 pres­i­den­tial elec­tion.

“You brought up Joe Biden, and you talked about what leg­is­la­tion he obvi­ous­ly signed off on,” Smith began. “I ask this ques­tion: what about peo­ple that look at the Demo­c­ra­t­ic Par­ty right now and say, ‘You know this man was debil­i­tat­ing,’ and you have the Repub­li­cans lean­ing on the fact that you hid that from the Amer­i­can peo­ple? And they think that that plays a role in things that are being held against you right now as a par­ty. To that, you say what?”

“I don’t even know why that’s an issue,” Book­er shook his head. He went on to say that he had spo­ken to Biden on the phone ear­li­er that same day and “he sound­ed very com­pos men­tis, he got very argu­men­ta­tive — not argu­men­ta­tive with me, but very fired up when he was talk­ing with me. I don’t know, man.”

Book­er con­tin­ued in that same vein, insist­ing over Smith’s objec­tions, “I nev­er saw it. And he would call — this man would lit­er­al­ly call me up to dis­cuss pol­i­cy. I’ve met no — I’ve met no pres­i­dent like him!”

In recent weeks, sev­er­al books have been announced that will detail Biden’s decline as seen by insid­ers — in some cas­es, authored by peo­ple who helped to cov­er up that decline while Biden was still in office and even seek­ing a sec­ond term.
