Speaker Mike Johnson says Biden in cognitive decline: ‘Just reality’

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Thursday evening that President Biden is showing obvious signs of cognitive decline — hours after meeting the commander-in-chief for the first time as leader of the lower chamber of Congress.

“Do you see in Joe Biden a cognitive decline, and if so, is that a danger to the country?” Fox News host Sean Hannity asked the newly installed House speaker.

“I do. I think most of us do,” Johnson said. “This is not a personal slight to him. It has to do with age and acumen, and everyone’s different. Everyone ages differently.”

“Clearly, if you look at a tape of Joe Biden making an argument in the Senate Judiciary Committee a few years ago and you see a speech that he delivers now, there’s a difference,” he added. “Again, it’s not a personal insult to him. It’s just reality.”

Johnson, 51, met with the president and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) on Thursday to discuss Biden’s supplemental national security requests for $106 billion in aid to Ukraine, Israel, and other projects.

Ramming the ramparts and having the Continental Army take over the airports... and let's not forget those charming stories about windmills and whales.... New York Post, only survivor from the tabloid guided by tabloid principles.

Remember people. No matter what side youre on, your algorithm only shows you what you created for yourself. Sometimes its the truth. Most of the time its a waste of time.

Trump has been worse off mentally lately so

[brianholloway]

I don’t know seems these gaffes are things I and everyone I’ve ever met regularly do.

[Paul-jpzz]

Mike Johnson is a young earth creationist. This disqualifies his opinions from having any merit.

[jwgii]

Not really news we all knew during his campaign that he wasn't fit for the job and required handlers to push policy. Certainly hasn't changed any.

[krzysztoffrankowski]

Yes it is this is true.
Thanks to president and his fascistic team world is on edge of 3rd WW with nuclear weapons
