White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is continuing to do damage control amid the fallout from Joe Biden‘s disastrous debate performance.
The Biden team’s strategy is clear: Tell the people what they saw wasn’t real, or at least spin it to heaven.
The first spin was “Biden just had a bad night,” so it can’t be cognitive decline.
Then there was the Biden “knows what he’s doing” – with age comes “wisdom and … experience” line.
Yawn!
During the debate with Donald Trump, Biden lost his train of thought multiple times before rambling incoherently and making no sense.
One such incident was when Biden gave an incoherent answer about health care that ended with, “We finally beat Medicare.”
Watch
With that in mind, a reporter asked Jean-Pierre, “Is [Biden] disabled?”
Jean-Pierre responded, “No.”
She then snapped at the reporter for daring to ask the question, “You know better! Come on.”

The reporter also asked, “Does President Biden, at 81 years old, have Alzheimer’s, any form of dementia, or degenerative illness that may cause these sorts of lapses?”
Before Jean-Pierre could reply, the reporter then asserted that if she did not know the answer to his question, she should.
Jean-Pierre responded, “I have an answer for you. Are you ready for it? It’s a no. And I hope you’re asking the other guy the same exact question.”
She then conceded, “He’s not a young man. That’s why he’s acknowledging he’s a little slower than he used to be in walking and not as smooth in speaking. We get that.”

Jean-Pierre then told reporters that Biden would be doing a sit-down with ABC News host George Stephanopoulos over the weekend.
Does she mean a tightly edited pre-recorded interview to cover up the fact that Biden should be in a nursing home?
