Democrats don’t care about protecting the country from a demented Commander-in-Chief, they’re just worried about losing elections, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Thursday, reacting to the growing number of Democrats calling for Pres. Joe Biden to drop his bid for reelection.

As Biden’s mental state continues to deteriorate, more and more Democrats are calling for him to end his campaign - but they’re doing it for selfish political reasons, not because they’re concerned about the harm a mentally compromised president might do to the nation, Cruz told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in an interview at the Republican National Convention:

“Look, everyone who was paying attention knew a year ago, two years ago, three years ago that Biden’s mental capabilities had diminished.

“You’re right. No Democrat cared. They didn’t care until they believed he was going to lose.

“So, have you heard a single Democrat say ‘The man is demented? He’s not competent to tie his shoes. But, he shouldn’t be Commander-in-Chief right now?’”

“I mean, listen: There comes a time when you need to take the keys away from grandpa - in this case, those keys are attached to ICBMs,” Sen. Cruz concluded.
