Stephanopoulos Recalls ‘Heartbreaking’ Interview With Cognitively Impaired Joe Biden


While leftist politicians and their shills in the mainstream media were quick to shoot down any claims of dementia before Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race, many of the same individuals have come out of the woodwork in recent months to admit how bad the situation truly was behind the scenes.

For his part, ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos shared his assessment of an interview he conducted with the then-president last year.

His remarks were recorded in a new tell-all book by Chris Whipple, as Fox News reported:

To “staunch the bleeding” of Democrats beginning to publicly call for replacing Biden on the ticket, Whipple wrote about how the White House accepted an interview with the “This Week” host on July 5 to reassure the public about the president’s candidacy.

Whipple described Biden as “hoarse and semi-coherent” throughout the interview and said Stephanopoulos was equally disappointed.

“Stephanopoulos questioned the president gently, like a grandson,” Whipple wrote. “Afterward, when I asked the ABC anchor by email for his impressions, he replied: ‘Heartbreaking up close.’”

Like others who waited until after Biden left office to speak out, social media users severely criticized Stephanopoulos for his belated remarks:

The same book reveals what Ron Klain, Biden’s former chief of staff, thought about the then-president during his term, as The Guardian reported:

Ron Klain served Biden from 2021 to 2023, then returned to his side last June to run debate preparation as he had for numerous Democratic presidents before.

According to Klain, it turned out that Biden “didn’t know what Trump had been saying and couldn’t grasp what the back and forth was”; left preparation and fell asleep by the pool; obsessed about foreign leaders, saying “these guys say I’m doing a great job as president so I must be a great president”; “didn’t really understand what his argument was on inflation”; and “had nothing to say about a second term other than finish the job”.

As described by Klain to the reporter Chris Whipple, at one point Biden had an idea.

“If he looked perplexed when Trump talked, voters would understand that Trump was an idiot. Klain replied: ‘Sir, when you look perplexed, people just think you’re perplexed. And this is our problem in this race.”

Here’s a full clip of Stephanopoulos’ “heartbreaking” interview with Biden:
