Former chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed that Joe Biden appeared perfectly fine during his terrible debate against former President Donald Trump last week.
Fauci reassured the public there was nothing medically alarming about Biden’s behavior during the debate, despite it being glaringly obvious the president is suffering an acute form of dementia.
“Did you see the debate? Did anything about that, what you saw medically alarm you?” Fauci was asked during a CBS interview.
Fauci responded:
“When you’re just looking at someone on a one-shot basis, you just don’t know what could happen. Did he have a bad cold?”
“You know, did he take an antihistamine to make him… groggy or what have you. We don’t know what went on,” he added.
“I think it would be unfair and inappropriate to try and diagnose something from just a 90-minute clip. It just looked like a bad night.”
Fauci continued:
“He’s very reflective on things and just doesn’t jump out with conclusions or anything, but is very analytic, so my interactions with him, I have to say, have been very, very positive.”

According to recent polls, many voters saw Biden’s lackluster performance as alarming, especially when compared to Trump’s sharp performance.
A recent report from the New York Times indicated that Biden is seriously considering suspending his campaign, as Democrats faced a November wipeout.

Meanwhile, Biden’s own advisors told the Times Biden has appeared “confused or lifeless, or would lose the thread of conversations” and often has expressions of “blank-stared confusion.”
It also adds that “in interviews, people in the room with him more recently said that the lapses seemed to be growing more frequent, more pronounced, and more worrisome.”
“The uncomfortable occurrences were not predictable, but seemed more likely when he was in a large crowd or tired after a particularly bruising schedule,” the article continues.
Everything now rests on an upcoming interview Biden is slated to do with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, which will be a last-ditch effort by the media to make it look like Biden isn’t senile.
