‘Top of His Game!’ Speaker Johnson Drops 14-Min Supercut of Dems Insisting Biden ‘Sharpest’ Ever on Anniversary of Drop Out
Republican Speaker of the House Rep. Mike Johnson marked the one-year anniversary of former President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 presidential campaign on Monday by sharing an over 14 minute-long video montage of Democrats praising the former president’s mental acuity, vigor, and sharpness, which Johnson described as their effort to “hide the truth.”
It was one year ago on July 21, 2024 that Biden withdrew from the presidential campaign just shy of a month after the infamous and disastrous debate with now-President Donald Trump.
In marking that consequential anniversary on Monday, Johnson shared a video montage on his social media accounts featuring Democrats and media discussing the former president’s mental fitness in the months leading up to that withdrawal.
“A year ago today, President Biden’s disastrous debate performance ended his re-election campaign and exposed the largest political cover-up in U.S. history,” Johnson wrote in his post that, at the time of this article, had about 350,000 views on X.
“As House Republicans investigate the scandal to bring accountability, the American people should never forget how far Democrats and the media went to hide the truth about the mental decline of the man holding the most powerful position on earth,” Johnson wrote.
He then segued to the attached video, writing: “Here is just a small sample of the receipts.”
The video began with some rapid-fire quotes, starting with Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) saying of Biden, “This is a man that’s on his game.”
The next Democrats up for the quotes were:
Mitch Landrieu: “On his game.”
Ron Klain: “Top of his game.”
Janet Yellen: “He’s at the top of his game.”
A longer clip follows with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying that Biden was at the “Top of this game.,” and “Such a consequential president of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of president.”
The well-known clip of Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker trashing the report from DOJ special counsel Robert Hur came up next.
“He is on the ball,” says Pritzker in the clip. “Man knows more than most of us have forgotten.”
At the time, Pritzker also said of Hur’s report, “I smell a rat,” implying that Hur was engaging in politically-motivated and deliberately dishonest misrepresentation of Biden’s mental fitness by saying the president had issues with his memory.
That suggestion that questions about Biden’s fitness were some kind of plot were echoed by then Vice President Kamala Harris — featured heavily in Johnson’s montage — and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul at the time.
Also in the montage were multiple instances of calling him “focused” (3), “capable” (11), and “sharp” (13), and repeated uses of words like “vigor” (4), “strong” or “strongest” (7), and more than a dozen examples of Democrats saying they had complete confidence in him, had no concerns, and that there “should be no concerns” from voters.
There has been virtually no mention of the one-year anniversary of Biden’s stunning drop-out on CNN or MSNBC on Monday (we could find only one mention between the two networks) despite the significant historical and political implications of that consequential event.
