Maria Bartiromo Floats Theory That Biden Is ‘Being Directed by President Obama’
Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo floated a right-wing conspiracy theory that suggests former President Barack Obama is calling the shots in the White House.
Former President Donald Trump put his seal of approval on the theory at a New Hampshire campaign event in October, saying:
You’ve been ripped off by everybody and betrayed by the corrupt globalists, Washington, Wall Street people, those combinations of Washington, Wall Street, they’re the worst of all. And it’s never been worse than it is now under crooked Joe Biden, and frankly, his boss, Barack Hussein Obama. I think it’s his boss.
“So, who’s running the show here?” Bartiromo asked Rep. Richard McCormick (R-GA). “I mean, you know, does he know what’s going on or is he being directed by president Obama?”
“He definitely doesn’t know what’s going on. Whether he’s being directed by Obama or some other staff members is really questionable, but if you look at his cognitive decline in the last 50 years, we’ve been able to literally in real-time watch this guy in public life,” McCormick said, continuing:
And the way he used to talk; he used to be very slick, very Clinton-esque, if you will. He no longer has that cognitive ability. He misinterprets questions, he misinterprets emotions, he doesn’t have a strategy, he doesn’t have any sort of education or ability to interpret new data. This is something that, as a New York doctor, I would look at somebody like this and think, they really need to be taken care of rather than trying to the take care of an entire nation.
“Well, thank you!” Bartiromo exclaimed. “You are a doctor and have the background to make such a statement, and in the face of all of this — by the way, we’re all watching this, Ok? We’re watching him fall on steps. We’re watching him misinterpret questions. But, we’re just the American people. How about our adversaries watching it and running rough shod over it, like China?”
