Earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal published a piece detailing how President Biden was showing “signs of slipping.” But even that report, based on interviews with more than 45 people, didn’t quite prepare the nation for what they witnessed on the debate stage Thursday evening. The White House pushed back on that report, claiming the 81-year-old president “remains a sharp and vigorous leader,” but there is no way to gaslight what happened on stage, which has led critics to take a closer look at first lady Jill Biden, who absolutely knows what’s happening behind the scenes with her husband.
Let's check in on what she was up to last night.
When the debate concluded, she rushed on stage to escort Biden away, while former President Trump—just three years younger—confidently walked off on his own. On social media, the general consensus is that what's going on is "elder abuse."
Shame on Jill Biden for allowing this to go on for so very long.

Shameful actions as a wife. Shameful actions as a human being. https://t.co/KDTdKrxbD2
This is elder abuse, and embarrassing for the Democratic Party, the Biden family, and the United States https://t.co/vc3JJNcN3Q

Then she cheered him on for 'answering every question.'

We have never seen elder abuse on such a scale before. Jill knows exactly how bad it is. She doesnt care https://t.co/pGhoCdbol5

Fittingly, Biden bid farewell to residents of a different state at the end of the evening.
What a fitting end to a career-ending night for Biden.

This is elder abuse. If I were a hardcore Democrat I’d be furious at the cynical consultant class types that forced Biden into this.

She's the person that needs to tell Joe to go.
