In a heated House probe, Rep. Jasmine Crockett voiced unwavering support for Biden’s mental acuity during his presidency. “No, I had none,” she stated emphatically when asked about any concerns regarding Biden’s mental fitness while in office. She asserted that the frequent verbal gaffes attributed to Biden stem from his lifelong stutter rather than any cognitive decline.
Crockett’s comments came after a closed-door interview with former White House physician Kevin O’Connor. She emphasized her interactions with the President, asserting that, despite not seeing him every day, she never doubted his capability. “I never had a concern,” she reiterated, even noting that everyone changes with age.
“He may get fumbled by words, but that’s not anything new, and it’s not anything that came with age.”
While defending Biden, Crockett expressed alarm over President Trump’s grasp of foreign policy. She cited this as a major concern for Americans, contrasting Biden’s experience with Trump’s perceived missteps.
As the probe intensifies, one thing remains clear: debates over mental fitness in politics are more complicated than they appear. What are your thoughts on Crockett’s defense of Biden? Is age really the issue?
