Joe Biden had never been the brightest bulb in the box, but his lies and political tricks helped him climb to powerful positions in America's Senate and White House.

Even though Joe Biden had never been regarded as particularly quick-witted or honest, his decline was even more apparent as he rapidly aged during his time in the White House.

Now, a longtime Biden staff member is pulling back the curtain on how the Biden administration "gaslit" Americans about the state of Joe Biden's cognitive health.

Even though it was clear to everyone with a set of eyeballs that Joe Biden was slowing down more and more every day, the White House and Democrats didn't want to admit it.

In the end, it cost them the 2024 Presidential Election

Republicans had been saying for literally years that Joe Biden was declining at an unbelievable rate. Not only were they sure that there was no way Joe Biden could handle another four years in office, many questioned how he was going to make it to the end of his term in 2025.

Instead of admitting that Joe Biden had lost a step and starting to look for replacements, Democrats simply told the America people that Joe Biden was fine and we were the bad guys for asking why he was stumbling, slurring, snoozing, and slouching his way through his presidency.

Michael LaRosa, who served as press secretary for former first lady Jill Biden from 2021-2022, recently came out and spoke about the deception of the American people conducted by Democrats.

"There are some things that are true, I mean, like the gaslighting. There was a lot of denial of the polling," LaRosa said. "And I will use the term gaslighting because that’s what they were doing, the campaign, former colleagues."

Joe Biden was getting destroyed in the polls for a long time ahead of the 2024 election.

Instead of trying to find a replacement for Joe Biden, Democrats waited until Joe Biden embarrassed himself during the Presidential debate to finally pull the plug on his candidacy.

Too little, too late

Democrats went from the frying pan to the fire with what many people felt was an even worse candidate.

As a result of her failures as America's border czar, voters couldn't trust Kamala Harris.

They also were never really sure where Kamala Harris stood on a variety of issues, something that Kamala Harris was unable to fix before Election Day.

Democrats were probably going to lose to Donald Trump either way, but the way they did things left them with no chance.
