In a dizzying dance of political gymnastics, the left continues to insist that Joe Biden is the epitome of presidential competence, despite abundant evidence to the contrary. The video of Biden’s swift exit from a live interview, microphone still attached, is just another chapter in a growing anthology of awkward moments. It’s reminiscent of that time Barack Obama had to physically aid him up some steps, in a scene that felt more like a buddy comedy than a political rally. Somehow, this is what we’re told competence looks like.
The spectacle of Joe Biden struggling to board a vehicle, with Secret Service agents assisting him into his SUV, adds to the narrative. It’s a well-rehearsed performance by now, with agents poised at the ready to steady the commander-in-chief at every step, especially down the short stairs of Air Force One. The confidence we saw in previous administrations seems like a distant memory.
Enter Kamala Harris, attempting to prop up this house of cards with a fiery defense of Biden’s capability to lead. In a colorful exchange, she manages to shock more than a few with not just her words but her unwavering support for Biden’s supposed competence. It’s a brave face, but when the footage shows otherwise, it’s hard to take such claims seriously, especially when followed by tales of discontent from within her own party.
Yet the media, except for a few like Jon Stewart, often seems too willing to play along, avoiding the tough questions when it comes to the conspicuous gaps in Biden’s performance. It’s all too convenient, really, to dismiss any skepticism as partisan bluster. But when Secret Service agents are poised like overly attentive babysitters and SUVs are specially adapted for presidential comfort, the narrative strains credulity.
While some focus on Harris’s colorful commentary, claiming moral ground on issues like welfare and food benefits, the pressing question remains about the administration’s forthrightness. Allegations swirl of potential concealment regarding Biden’s health, adding another layer of intrigue. At the end of the day, it’s not just about who is competent, but about who is honest with the American people. As the curtain lifts on these unfolding political theatrics, one can’t help but wish for a plot twist grounded more in reality than in wishful thinking.
