As we all know, the right will use any excuse possible to, one, attack Joe Biden for his age and accuse him of being senile, and two, go after his son Hunter. Yesterday, Biden gave an extended interview to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, but what had the right worked up was the way he left the set.
Here's Newsmax's Greg Kelly distorting what happened:
The Daily Beast's Justin Baragona put it in context for Kelly:
That didn't stop the Trump suck-ups on Fox from running with it as well.
And then there's Fox & Friends from this morning, where Rachel Campos-Duffy used the interview to pretend Trump has "bounding" energy.
KILMEADE: Henry Kissinger is over 100 years old and the guy could write a 100 page book in two days. He's right on top of his game. It's nothing to do with anybody out there that's 80. We're not saying you're old. It's just how you're performing at that age and we're watching the president, really on stage three of the last four days, if you listen to his speeches, half of them are incomprehensible. And these are on prompter a lot.
DOOCY: And so it would have been great had she actually asked some those questions about the concerns about his age, and about the sleep apnea, and all that other stuff, but instead, it's kind of embarrassing, you just see the president get up awkwardly and mosey off.
KILMEADE: Well, you know what he says about his age. He says “Watch me.” We are.
DOOCY: He also says he's a little less than 103.
CAMPOS-DUFFY: Well, you can compare him to Donald Trump, who has energy bounding. And they're not very, you know, there's only two years between them. Again, to your point, I think it's absolutely astounding that the news that we heard about Hunter Biden that Whatsapp message. It's the biggest political scandal ever, and that she had that opportunity and didn't take it, is unbelievable.
"Bounding" energy, huh? You mean this guy?
I'm not sure how old Sleepy Joe will ever keep up with that. Biden may be showing his age, but he's still a portrait of good health compared to Trump. The Biden crew needs to come at Trump for these sort of attacks the same way Christie came at him for the shots about being overweight and tell him to look in the mirror.
