Biden’s horrible debate performance has sparked demands for him to be replaced. Many Democrats fear that if Biden is on the November ticket, they will all lose their races. Trump will ride into the White House, bringing many MAGA Republicans with him.

Democrats are terrified, but the White House refuses to bow to their whims. Biden’s top surrogates claimed it was only one “bad night.”

They are clearly ignoring the many, many times Biden has shown signs of cognitive decline. The immediate excuse for the debate was that he had a “cold.” That didn’t go over well. So, Biden himself has come up with a new excuse. But fact-checkers almost immediately shot it down.

From The Blaze:
President Joe Biden offered a new excuse for his humiliating debate performance, but he was quickly fact-checked on social media and accused of lying…

“I wasn’t very smart,” said Biden to reporters about the debate.

“I decided to travel around the world a couple times, going through I don’t know how many time zones — for real I think it 15 time zones,” he added.

The excuse was immediately assailed by Biden’s critics, who pointed out that it was contradicted by previously known facts. Namely, that Biden had taken more than a week to prepare for the debate.

So, this is a brazen lie. He returned twelve days before the debate, and spent the week before preparing. When preparing he started at 11am each day, and then had a nap in the afternoon. https://t.co/NcQckpE3Pb

President Biden issued a bizarre explanation for his poor debate performance. He claimed he ignored the advice of his staff to travel through “15 time zones.” Then, he said this left him so tired that he could not answer basic questions during the live debate.

People online quickly refuted this claim. Some called it a “blatant lie.” It was well-known that Biden was sequestered at Camp David for over a week to prepare for the debate. That means, he would have recovered from any kind of jetlag from previous trips around the world.

He had been “prepped” by his staff on the debate. There is no scenario where Biden’s performance could be explained away by weariness from travel. Others had pointed out that his travels had ended two full weeks before his debate with Trump.

What is really going on? For years, we’ve raised the alarm on Biden’s apparent cognitive decline. Doctors have even warned that he might be suffering from a degenerative disease. During the debate, the whole world saw what we’ve been saying all along. No amount of weariness could account for his inability to speak straight.

Key Takeaways:

• President Biden claimed his poor debate performance was due to tiredness from traveling through “15 time zones.”
• Critics quickly refuted this claim, as Biden had spent over a week preparing for the debate at Camp David.
• Some people labeled Biden’s explanation as a “blatant lie” and pointed to concerns about his cognitive decline.
