Nick Arama writes for RedState.com about new revelations involving a legacy media news anchor and the effort to save Joe Biden’s flailing presidency.
We all are aware of how badly Joe Biden did in his disastrous debate in June 2024.
His people tried to save him by arranging an interview shortly thereafter with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.
But it didn’t go well for Biden, as he continued to show he was completely out of it during the interview. …
… A few days later, Stephanopoulos told someone on the street that he didn’t think Biden could serve another term. But then there was a reaction back, with Stephanopoulos saying he shouldn’t have said anything–and the network saying it wasn’t their comment. …
… Now we’re hearing more in an excerpt from a new book, “Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History,” from author Chris Whipple, about Stephanopoulos’ reaction to the interview:
Whipple described Biden as “hoarse and semi-coherent” throughout the interview and said Stephanopoulos was equally disappointed.
“Stephanopoulos questioned the president gently, like a grandson,” Whipple wrote. “Afterward, when I asked the ABC anchor by email for his impressions, he replied: ‘Heartbreaking up close.’” …
… You’re supposed to be a journalist, not a “grandson.” But it’s because the Biden team knew he was going to be like that, that the Biden team took the risk on Stephanopoulos. But Biden couldn’t even do such an easy interview without problems.
So why couldn’t we have been told this before? Why are we only hearing this fuller comment now?
Why did Stephanopoulos cut back on his earlier remark, and why did ABC try to disavow his comment on the interview?
We all know the answer to that. We could have exactly predicted that we’d be getting the truth after it no longer mattered.
It’s disgraceful. We saw the problems with Biden day after day, and we reported on it as honestly as we could.
But some in the liberal media ignored the problem or were gaslighting us.
