Surprise, surprise.
Many of those who promised during 2023 and early 2024 that Joe Biden was “sharp as a tack” are now deeply concerned about President Trump’s mental acuity.
Those “We missed the story” mea culpas from a while back were never about contrition, or even real embarrassment. These people had no problem lying about Biden’s fitness — they just couldn’t get away with it any longer. So they changed strategy. They started laying the groundwork to pretend later they had “learned their lesson” so they could go hard after the current president over the same issue.
MS NOW’s Jonathan Capehart, for example, remarked recently that “We should be talking about [Trump’s] mental acuity.”
“Why are we not talking about his mental acuity when we, when we … more people should be talking about it in the way they were giving President Biden hell for walking with a stiff gait,” he said.
