First lady Jill Biden faced backlash online Thursday night after remarks that she made following her husband’s widely criticized performance against former President Donald Trump during CNN’s presidential debate.
The remarks come after video was captured showing her rushing on stage to help President Joe Biden walk off following the debate.
“Joe, you did such a great job,” she claimed. “You answered every question, you knew all the facts.”
“And let me ask the crowd, what did Trump do?” she squealed. “Lie! Yes.”

This clip makes Biden look even worse. This is like me praising my kids when they went potty. Did she give him an M & M as well and tell him they could buy Superman Underoos?

Douglas Brinkley, author of “The Unfinished Presidency,” told CBS News’ “Face The Nation” earlier this year that Jill Biden has done the exact opposite of what other first ladies who have convinced their husbands not to run for re-election.
“That’s not the case with Jill Biden. She likes power. She wants to stay. She wants some sense of revenge,” he said. “The idea of relinquishing it all after you’ve taken the slings and arrows of the last years of attacks, and at the last minute, just when you get all the delegates you’re going to say, I’m going to open it up to a bunch of people — it’s very childish when you read those kind of reports.”
Online, Jill Biden faced intense criticism for her remarks and support for her husband running for a second term.
“I have no respect for Jill Biden,” said commentator Lisa Boothe. “Encouraging your husband to embarrass himself like this is not love.”
Political pundit Jon Gabriel posted on X: “It was elder abuse in 2020. These days, it’s ghoulish.”
Former CIA Officer Bryan Dean Wright, who now hosts a podcast, posted: “Jill Biden is, arguably, the worst human on the planet. She knows how bad it is. Joe is sick. And she doesn’t care — about him, or the nation.”
Former ESPN host Sage Steele wrote: “Shame on Jill Biden for allowing this to go on for so very long. Shameful actions as a wife. Shameful actions as a human being.”
“Jill Biden is a vile elder abuser,” added commentator Tomi Lahren.
