We've been closely tracking the number of self-serving Democrats and media figures who are falling all over themselves in the aftermath of a WHCA awards dinner speech that touched on Joe Biden's decline to share their impressions of the Biden they say they knew ahead of the infamous June 2024 presidential debate.
Among them is Jen Psaki, a former Biden White House press secretary who, as we reported, appeared on Semafor's "Mixed Signals" podcast last Friday and who tried to claim that she "never saw that person" that everyone else saw give a disastrous debate performance against then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
"I never saw that person, not a single time, and I was in the Oval Office every day, that was on that debate stage," Psaki said during the interview. "I'm not a doctor. Aging happens quite quickly," she also proclaimed.
Lying, of course, happens a lot quicker, something media critic Joe Concha pointed out on Fox News in response to Psaki's remarks:
"Jen Psaki only saw Joe Biden shake hands with the air, have conversations with leaders that had been dead for many years, couldn’t remember the names of his cabinet members. That went back to when she was press secretary. But here's the money quote - Jen Psaki says Biden is so fit that she had trouble keeping up with him, that's what she said when she was press secretary - we know that now to be a lie."
Further, in the same clip, Townhall.com political editor Guy Benson made another great point in that "we" (people who didn't work for the Biden White House) all saw it and weren't people who had the close connection with him that his apologists, like Psaki, had. Watch:

One excuse I remember hearing frequently during the Biden-Harris years, any time he had an embarrassing moment, was that it was a one-off. Except it wasn't.
It was part of a long and troubling pattern, happening in pretty much every speech and public appearance he gave. Perhaps most concerning was Biden routinely forgetting the names of members of Congress, cabinet members, the names of world leaders, where he was, and the instances where he appeared to point at thin air, had to be guided off stage, etc.
In any event, it's clear these people will say anything to avoid taking responsibility for their role in the cover-up, not just because they're worried about being implicated in any possible future investigation into the matter, but also because confirmation of it would ruin what little bit (if any) credibility they had left.
This is why the American people should never be allowed to forget the lengths Democrats and their media allies went to in order to keep the scandal of a diminished president under wraps.
