Hannity Scolds Ex-Biden Aide Who Claims He Didn’t See Signs of Cognitive Decline: ‘You’re Full of Crap!’
Sean Hannity let loose on a onetime aide to former President Joe Biden for claiming that he did not personally witness signs of the ex-president’s decline.
In a panel discussion on Hannity Monday night, the host scolded Michael LaRosa — who served as a special assistant to former President Biden and press secretary for Jill Biden until July 2022 — for saying he didn’t observe a cognitive decline.
“Michael, you’re going to come on this program, and you’re gonna look America in the eye, and you’re gonna tell us that you did not see any cognitive decline in Joe Biden?” Hannity said. “Because we saw it, we chronicled it, starting in 2019. You’re gonna tell us that?”
“Well, I am,” LaRosa replied. “Because I’ve been very consistent about that, Sean, with all of your colleagues on all of the Fox News programming since I left the White House at the end of 2022, that my three years in the White House—”
Hannity interjected.
“I don’t believe you, I think you’re full of crap!” Hannity said. “Let me be honest, let me be straight here. We played… we have tape after tape after tape. I could spend the next hour, we spent an hour on Friday, playing him struggling, shaking air, not knowing where to go, talking to dead people. He could barely utter a sentence. He was a shell of his former self. Now, either you don’t have eyes to see, or ears to hear, or you’re just politically blinded — if I’m gonna be charitable — or just a political hack. But you can’t say you didn’t see it! I don’t believe you!”
LaRosa — who has criticized Biden’s 2024 campaign for “gaslighting” the public over concerns about the ex-president’s age — stood firm.
“Okay, so Sean, you have the highest-rated programming on Fox News, on the highest-rated cable network,” LaRosa said. “And in 2019 and 2020, the American people saw the same thing and had the same access that you did, and he still won by seven million votes, and had the most votes ever received by any president in American history.”
“Did you not see it during the debate?!” Hannity asked.
“Yes,” LaRosa said.
“That was the first time you saw it?!” Hannity asked.
“Sean, it was the first time many people saw it,” LaRosa replied. “Yes it was.”
“I don’t believe any of you,” Hannity said. “I think you’re so politically biased.”
