Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) denied on Sunday’s NBC “Meet the Press” that he or other prominent Democrats had misled the American people about President Joe Biden’s mental sharpness.
Host Kristen Welker raised the issue, stating, “Obviously, there has been a lot of focus on President Biden’s role in this. You were, obviously, in close contact with President Biden well before the public tuned into that debate that ultimately led to him stepping down. I want to play you a little bit of something you said last year. Take a look.”
In a statement from 2024 on Capitol Hill, Schumer had remarked, “I talked to President Biden regularly, sometimes several times in a week or usually several times in a week. His mental acuity is great. It’s fine. It’s as good as it’s been over the years, and this right-wing propaganda that his mental acuity has declined is wrong.”
Welker pressed further, asking, “What do you say that you and top Democrats misled them about President Biden’s mental acuity?”
Schumer responded, “Look, we didn’t. Let’s look at President Biden. he’s had an amazing record. The legislation we passed, one of the most significant groups of legislation since Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society, putting 235 judges of record. He’s a patriot. He’s a great guy, and when he stepped down he did it on his own because he thought it was better not only for the Democratic Party for America, we should all salute him. We should all salute him.”
