Before the election:
Joe Biden’s legacy is “unmatched in modern history. In one term, he has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents who served two terms in office.”
Kamala Harris, Politico, 7/22/24
[Biden is] such a consequential president of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of president. … [Y]ou can add Biden [alongside] George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and [Teddy] Roosevelt].
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), 8/4/24
Biden is one of our greatest presidents — smears won’t tarnish his legacy … Yet, in 2020 and 2024 … Trump falsely portrayed Biden as a doddering old man incapable of leading our nation.
Democrat Strategist, Donna Brazile, The Hill, 12/20/24
After the election:
Now [after the election] Democrats Can Admit Biden Was a Disastrous President
Jim Geraghty, National Review, 5/23/25
What [Biden’s] done to himself is [this]: no one wants to hear from [him] anymore [emphasis added]. … Just go to your condo in Rehoboth and stay there. [The 2024 election disaster] was all his doing, this entire thing.
James Carville, 1/24/25
Worst party of the year? The Democratic Party. It’s not particularly close. … I can’t [forget] how much Democratic leaders repeatedly lied, without remorse, to the American people in 2024. Democrats chose to manipulate Americans with a specific type of deceit: Make voters doubt reality. From inflation to Biden’s health and Kamala Harris’ competence as a presidential candidate … to the economy … Democrats tried to lie their way to the White House. They failed.
Nicole Russell, USA-TODAY, 12/31/24
[S]ome of Biden’s and his team’s] lies … have been so blatant and obviously false that they deserve special attention. [Here] is my list of their worst lies. What would you add? 1.) “Biden is just fine, thank you.” 2.) “The exploding federal debt’s not a problem.” 3.) “I will not pardon [my son Hunter]” … [These] blatant lies … required Biden’s closest aides and supporters to perpetuate them and the mainstream media to largely ignore them [emphasis added].
Merrill Matthews, The Hill, 12/24/24
[A]fter years of pushing North Korea-style propaganda, the entire corporate media complex is pretending to be shocked … that Biden can’t form a sentence on his own. They’re replaying clips of him stammering and wandering around … totally lost, like they just woke up from a coma and missed the last six years. Sorry, CNN, but … right-wing outlets were reporting on Biden’s decline almost daily. This isn’t news. It’s damage control. Legacy media is scrambling to rebuild their reputations after selling their souls to Team Biden [by] refusing to cover the biggest story in the world: [that] President [Biden] is a lumbering zombie who could barely remember his own name [all emphasis added].
Revolver News, 5/23/25
The Biden administration has been repudiated by voters over the inflation that resulted from its heedless spending and [the] open border policy, and it has been discredited by recent disclosures of former President Biden’s incapacity and by Democrats in and outside the White House who concealed and lied about his condition. … [M]ost of … the mainstream media has also been discredited … and shown to have been incompetent or partisanshiply complicit [emphasis added].
Michael Barone, Patriot Post, 5/23/25
[Tapper’s book] Original Sin reaffirmed conservative belief is that the Bidens, and seemingly every top staffer around them, are astonishingly stupid people. By February 2024, 86 percent of Americans believed Biden was too old to serve another term. … Did the Biden-team think [Biden] could disappear and the American people [wouldn’t] notice? Our Jeff Blehar notes, “The one aspect of the conspiracy … that [the book] fails to adequately address (beyond scattered mentions in the notes and elsewhere) is the media’s role in facilitating the conspiracy for 4 years.”
Jim Geraghty, National Review, 5/23/25
The empathizer-in-chief and saviour of democracy has, in a matter of about two weeks, become a clueless and selfish threat to all Democrats hold dear. … Just a couple of weeks ago, he and his family were at Camp David for a photo shoot with famed Vogue photographer Annie Leibovitz getting the favorable glossy coverage powerful Democrats expect. Now everyone has concluded he’s [unfit for the job].
Rich Lowry, National Review, 7/12/24
Biden’s defendersincluded then-VP Harris, who blasted [Robert] Hur’s report and called [Hur’s] comments about Biden’s age “gratuitous, inaccurate and inappropriate.” [A]ccording to audio of his 2023 interviews with Hur, Biden, amid long, uncomfortable pauses, struggled to recall when his son [Beau] died, when he left office as vice president, what year Trump was elected or why he [Joe] had [retained] classified documents he shouldn’t have had.
Axios, 5/16/25
It’s important for [posterity] to record just how much damage the Biden’s and their media and Democrat collaborators did in denying the American people a better presidential choice in 2024. … Whenever anybody suggested that Biden wasn’t up to the job, a Pretorian media guard assembled to deny it. One example worth citing is co-author of the new book, Jake Tapper, [when, in fact,] he [also]] cast doubt on anyone questioning Biden’s mental fitness. … The coverup of Biden’s mental decline will go down as one of the great scandals of modern politics. Democrats and the media are now appalled by a 2nd Trump term that was only made possible by themselves [all emphasis added].
Wall Street Journal Opinion, “A Reckoning for the Biden Coverup,” 5/24/25
Biden was both senile and cancer-ridden during the last years of his presidency. … According to “Original Sin,” … Biden was exhibiting signs of senility for years; his staff worked to cover it up, and a compliant media did it’s least to investigate. This week, we found out that Biden also has stage four prostate cancer, which has already metastasized to his bones. There is virtually no way that nobody knew about the cancer until this week; prostate cancer is a slow-moving cancer easily detected by routine PSA tests. [This is] one of the biggest scandals in American history [all emphasis added].
Ben Shapiro, 5/22/25
The Democrat Party and the Democrat Party Propaganda Collective (aka the “mainstream” media) are more than happy, without evidence or reserve, to call conservatives NAZI’s and white supremacists, and to do so with an impressive display of affected sanctimony, but they do not appear particularly eager to accept responsibility for putting the national security of the United States in jeopardy by covering up Biden’s mental and physical health for 4 years. There is, however, an upside to all this now exposed corruption. Jake Tapper, in a failed attempt to prove that he has functioning eyeballs after all, has shown that Trump was right all along. The media is the enemy of the American people. They tried to cheat the American people out of more than one election. However, just like their pathetic Stalinist lawfare campaign and attempts to bankrupt Trump, they all failed, and now, being charitable, they all look like corrupt buffoons. This will come as no surprise to the right side of the aisle. No one should believe anything any of them say again until they get down on their hands and knees and beg the forgiveness of the American people and, in addition, start covering Republicans without interjecting their own adolescent leftist politics into the story.
Note: Merrill Matthews forgot Biden’s transparent lies about the southern border.
