Joe Biden made his first public appearance since announcing he has late-stage cancer, and it was nightmare fuel for Democrats. The whole greatest hits album was played, from the former president’s penchant for confusion to his sudden outbursts of shouting. 

The speech took place at a several-days-late Memorial Day event in Delaware. A noble endeavor, no doubt, but all it did was remind people of the historic scandal perpetrated by Biden and his handlers who covered up his ailing health. 

I don’t know, but flubbing the most famous part of the Declaration of Independence seems less than ideal for a man who still insists he’s mentally fit and would have defeated Donald Trump had he not dropped out of the 2024 race. Of course, if that were true, he never would have dropped out in the first place, an inconsistency he and his supporters still refuse to answer for. Regardless, the absurdity of the press and Democrats trying to pass Biden’s condition off as a “stutter” continues to be exposed with every public.

The point here isn’t to pile on, though they would be an understandable pursuit given how those of us who told the truth about Biden’s condition were treated. The point is that without accountability, this will simply happen again, whether it’s hiding a president’s senility or some other health issue. In the case of Biden, it seems highly probable his cancer diagnosis was covered up as well. Prostate cancer is generally slow-moving and it usually takes many years for a person to reach the point the former president is at.

All of this is made even more relevant by the current attempt by the press to obfuscate its role in the scandal. As RedState has extensively reported on, CNN’s Jake Tapper has been promoting his book, “Original Sin,” which blames a small cabal of unnamed officials and family members around Biden for the cover-up. That’s all well and good, but Tapper and nearly every other member of the mainstream media knowingly played along, attacking those who pointed out the former president’s ever-worsening condition. They now want to pretend there was just nothing they could have done differently. 

With that said, Biden showing back up in public is a bigger problem for the Democratic Party. With every slurred word and bout of confusion, the American people are reminded that they were lied to. Not only that, they were insulted for daring to believe their eyes and ears and told they were the crazy ones for expressing concern. That’s not easily forgotten, and Biden seems intent on not letting them forget. Why? Because his ego won’t let him. Even in his waning moments, a time when he should be focused on family, Biden is doing interviews and giving speeches underscoring what he perpetrated on the country. To that I say, good. Democrats shouldn’t be let off the hook by him hiding in a basement somewhere.
