Republican Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Eric Schmitt of Missouri announced plans to co-chair a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in June. The purpose of this hearing is to probe into the allegations surrounding the leadership of former President Joe Biden and purported efforts by his aides and family members to conceal his alleged cognitive decline.
The two senators aim to investigate who was steering the nation’s course during Biden’s tenure. They intend to scrutinize the role of a group of aides and family members who reportedly acted as the de facto commander-in-chief as the former president was allegedly ‘sidelined.’
Schmitt stated that ‘For four years, when the American people saw Joe Biden, they saw someone who was not capable of making major decisions for the nation.’ He went on to criticize what he perceives as a collective effort by those closest to Biden and the media to suppress this narrative. Cornyn echoed these sentiments, labeling the alleged concealment as ‘unacceptable.’
The evidence suggests a contrasting viewpoint from Biden, who refuted claims of mental decline earlier this month on ‘The View.’ However, a book titled ‘Original Sin’ released days later appears to fuel these allegations. The book, based on nearly two hundred interviews with Democrats and former White House staffers, highlights numerous instances of the reported decline and attempts to keep it hidden.
This raises important questions about the nature of presidential leadership, the role of the media, and the integrity of democratic processes. The significance of this should not be overlooked. Both sides of this issue present compelling arguments, and a thorough investigation is needed to uncover the truth.
