Biden ‘Epic Scandal’ Dem Roginsky-Democrats Brought this on Ourselves’

The CNN Video clip that is part of the article from the WND News Center made available to MHProNews and this Patch series on ‘making sense of the news’ merits a short preface. The first man who speak after CNN host Abby Phillip’s introduction is Scott Jennings. He is left-leaning CNN’s lone ‘conservative’ on this panel. The next person that spoke is a Democratic strategist, Julie Roginsky. She said, using the Rumble page paraphrase: that Democrats “'Brought This On Ourselves': Dem Strategist Says 'Tea Party' Movement On Left Will Emerge Following News That WH Was 'Lying' About Biden's Health.”

As is usual for this Patch series, more facts, insights, and analysis plus other topics follow in Part II.

Details of Biden's mental stumbles having real-world impacts now

Harris cancels scheduled vacation to remain in Washington: 'Her announcement came hours after a bombshell Wall Street Journal investigation exposed how frail the president has been throughout the last four years'

By Bob Unruh | December 20, 2024

Americans were witnesses during Joe Biden's tenure as president to his verbal and mental stumbles, his memory lapses and awkward gaps that moved far beyond his legacy of gaffes and verbal bumbles, even his physical trips and falls.

None of which is out of the ordinary for an octogenarian who now has been described by a federal prosecutor as an "elderly man with a poor memory," who apparently even forgot when he was vice president to Barack Obama.

But the Wall Street Journal has released a report charging that there was an unprecedented conspiracy to hide Biden's failings from the public, even as his shortcomings were evidence at the outset of his presidency.

Republican pundit Scott Jennings has described the situation, of presidential aides withholding press access to Biden, of withholding information from the president, and more, a "scandal of epic proportions."

Reportedly a vocal coach had been hired to try to make Biden's voice better, and aides "scrapped meetings on Biden's 'bad days' and even kept him away from his own Cabinet appointees and congressional Democratic allies," according to a multiple reports.

"It's the biggest scandal in America," Jennings said during an interview this week.

"And the level and volume of people who dedicated themselves to lying to everyone at home about this man's condition for four straight years – up through this summer – is breathtaking."

Fair would be the question, he said, "Who is running this country?"

"And his staff and the White House lied about it and kept it from the American people. It's an absolute scandal what's going on."

The White House has rejected the charge there was a large scale coverup of Biden's failings.

But a report from the Daily Caller News Foundation explained Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky is warning Democrats could face their own "tea party" movement after the revelations about administration appointees concealing the truth about Biden's condition.

The report said the Wall Street Journal reporting charged White House aides "insulated" Biden, even from Cabinet members, from the first year of his presidency. Roginsky said that the "lying" about Biden's health would have consequences for Democrats, the report warned.

"There is a bigger problem here, and that is that I think Democrats are at the point where Republicans might have been right after the Bush election or after the Bush term was up, which is that I think Democrats are starting to mistrust their institutions. And this goes back to a bipartisan effort to lie us into the Iraq war, not just by George Bush, but also by a lot of Democrats."

Roginsky said, "I think you have a lot of Democrats now, me included, who are pretty sick of the institution and trusting people in the institution and this is just one example, the most recent example, I think of people institutionally lying to the American people and what you're ultimately going to see. And I don't have a problem saying this as a Democrat, is that you're going to see a tea party version rise up in the Democratic Party based on the fact that this is yet another marker of people just not trusting our leaders anymore. And I'm sorry to say that, but I think we brought this on ourselves."

Biden's blunders long have been documented in media reports and there's even been a book written about them. But during his presidency he several times claimed to have spoken with people who were dead at the time.

The report said that includes when he claimed "to have spoken with former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who died in 2017, and former French President Francois Mitterrand, who passed away in 1996. In September 2022, Biden asked for Republican Rep. Jackie Walorski of Indiana at a conference on hunger that took place several weeks after Walorski and two staffers were killed in a car crash."

The real world ramifications now are appearing, too. The Daily Mail said Kamala Harris "abruptly" canceled a scheduled Christmas vacation after the revelations of Biden's decline.

Social media did not miss the connection, as "Her announcement came hours after a bombshell Wall Street Journal investigation exposed how frail the president has been throughout the last four years."

The public saw evidence of Biden's decline when he appeared in a presidential debate with now President-elect Donald Trump last summer. Only days later, Biden dropped out of the race, and endorsed stand-in Kamala Harris, who lost to Trump in a landslide in November.

Evidence showed up multiple times over Biden's presidency, including when he was given written instructions by his staff on where and when to sit during a meeting with press, and when to leave. He also was seen wandering around on stages at various times, seemingly unable to find stairs to get down.

The New York Post said the campaign to hide Biden's "apparent mental decline" began on Day 1 of his presidency.

"The lack of access to the nation's oldest-ever president has been well known in Washington — with Biden hosting the fewest large press conferences in modern history and frequently descending into gaffes at the podium when he appeared — but how much the White House made up for the haziness had until now been hidden, according to aides, Democratic lawmakers and donors who spoke with the Wall Street Journal," the report said.

Further, staff members "removed negative reports from Biden's stack of news for the day, misleading him about the public's opinion of his job performance — which reached a 70-year low in 2024," the report said.

He frequently "relied on notecards," was seen carrying "large directions printed for him," and often "missed up the names of foreign dignitaries."

Mediaite listed the "five biggest bombshells" from the report on Biden, including that there were concerns even during the first part of his tenure, that Democrats noticed a leadership vacuum, that meetings were strictly scripted, that Biden struggled to prepare his thoughts when interviewed by special counsel Robert Hur and campaign donors were "shocked" by his performance on calls.

But the Daily Mail post a list of dozens of events that should, to an observer, cause alarm about a sitting president.

For example. Biden repeatedly stumbled while walking up steps to Air Force One. And fell off bicycles.

He also mislabeled the Royal Air Force the "RFA." And he fell asleep while listening to speakers at a climate conference.

Several times he mispronounced the names of other nations' officials.

And, the report said, he "tripped as he walked down the stairs of the Itsukushima Shrine in May 2023 in his rush to greet Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida."

And he fell while making an appearance at the Air Force Academy.

And he repeated an inaccurate story about a "white supremacist rally" – twice at the same event.

At a meeting with Brazil's president, he walked off the stage and into a flag. And he called the Congressional Hispanic Caucus the "black caucus."

He claimed to have ridden a train over a collapse bridge that never had train tracks, and called Ukraine's president by the name of Russia's president, Vladimir Putin.

When Biden forgot the name of his own Defense secretary he simply labeled him a "black man."

Part II - Additional Information, Analysis, plus Other Topics

This writer is not plugging left-leaning CNN, but this segment posted above that links to that video 10.5 minute video clip via Rumble above was revealing. For those who want to see the first 10 and a half minutes without leaving this page, that episode of CNN News Night with Abby Phillip, Scott Jennings and the rest of that discussion panel is posted below. Virtually everyone in that clip linked above, and most are from the political left, admit that the American public was lied to by Democratic leaders. They may still take shots at Trump and Republicans, but they still admit that Democrats lied to Americans and they are concerned that it will cost their party support.

As those who have been part of this ongoing series on this Patch for the past few months know, it is the evidence-based view of this writer that Americans are routinely misled, told half-truths, sometimes bold lies, and subtle deceptions accomplished by leaving out important details. As a regular listener to WMAL's M-F radio line up from about 5 AM to about 6 or 7 PM, one hears that talk radio station's tag line: making sense of the news. It is a fair point, because often the news has to be decoded from what is said into what it all actually means for We the People.

For over 4 years, much (not all) of the media helped Biden and Democrats cover up Biden’s cognitive decline. So, while the is right-leaning Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report may have been news to some, it wasn’t news to those who routinely check other sources for their news and information

During that discussion on CNN, for example, mention was made of the lies told to the American people by both left- and right-wing media outlets during the Bush-Cheney (R) push for the costly war against Iraq. The military industrial spy complex may have benefited from the 2-plus decades of conflict that followed, as did other corporate interests. But the national debt rose. Thousands of American lives were lost, thousands more were wounded, and the post war trauma may have contributed to still more suicides. And perhaps 300,000 more souls in Iraq died. That tragic aspect of our 21st century national and world history should not be forgotten.

Biden’s backers in the Democratic Party included much of: big media, big tech, big corporate, and the leadership (not necessarily the rank and file) of big labor, among others. Democrat Julián Castro, former HUD Secretary under the Obama-Biden (D) term said to Joe Biden during a Democratic presidential debate forum on ABC: "Are you forgetting what you said 2 minutes ago?"

Those aren't Republican talking points, because those on camera above are all Democrats.

The clues about what was going one for Biden where there well before the 2020 election. The oligarchy style powers that backed the Democrats in 2020 wanted Biden in. It didn’t matter that Biden wasn’t playing with his full faculties any more. The ‘president in name only’ (PINO) would be a puppet. This isn’t the first time that something like that happened in U.S. history, because Democrat Woodrow Wilson (D) over a century ago was declining in health and his wife helped step into support her ailing husband while he stayed in the White House ‘officially’ in charge.

Put another way, the powers that be wanted Trump out in 2020.

But this is where Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky's statement in the CNN video clips above that there will be consquences for Democrats may well be accurate. But there may be consquences for much (not all) of mainstream media too. This is the type of incident that reveals why trust in media is so low. Republicans and Independents already had a low trust in media. Democratic trust in media has declined too.

It is worth mentioning that trust in local media is higher than it is in national or mass media. The trust in this Patch would be higher than it is for many 'big' media outlets, per surveys like those done by Gallup.

Trust in specialized media, like MHProNews/MHLivingNews, per such surveys can also be higher.

But what it boils down to is will a journalist or media outlet invest the time, effort and energy to give their readers, listeners and viewers enought information to discern the truth? That should be the goal of good media. Let the people see what is true, regardless of partisanship. I say that as an independent and as a media professional.

Why do people lie or mislead? It is usually because the deceivers want something and they don't think that the truth will get it for them.

In my decades of experience with and in journalism, and with and in the political-social-economic system in the U.S., it is useful to keep in mind that people of faith have an advantage navigating the challenges of life and living. So, with Christmas nearly here, let's start to wrap this up with the links below.

https://patch.com/florida/lake...

'You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.' (John 8:32) Whatever version of the Bible you have near at hand, that ancient but ever timely piece of wisdom will serve you well. When we know the truth, we are freer than when we are kept in the dark. There is always more to know, see one or more of the articles in this wide-ranging series on this Patch series that follow.

I would have been more impressed by the WSJ report that CNN was discussing if they had shared that 4.5 years ago. Because right or wrong, much of that was already known, long before Biden moved into the White House. Thanks for checking in. See you again soon here on this Patch.
