Dr. Anthony Fauci, the guy who admitted to making up the six-foot-distance rule during COVID-19, downplayed doubts about President Joe Biden’s ailing age.
During an interview with CBS’s Major Garrett, Fauci was asked whether he noticed anything “alarming” during the first presidential debate between Biden and former President Donald Trump.
“You know, I can't say,” Fauci responded. “I think it would be inappropriate to say that, Major, because when you're just looking at someone on a one-shot basis, you just don't know what could happen.”
During the debate, Biden suffered a series of malfunctions where he often stood and stared blankly, mumbled incoherently, and forgot crucial details to several issues.
Fauci summed up Biden’s catastrophic debate performance as the 81-year-old president just having a “bad night.”
However, Fauci failed to acknowledge all of the other times Biden has suffered public malfunctions such as falling on stage, tripping up steps, and mumbling his words.
“Did he have a bad cold? You know, did he take an antihistamine to make him… groggy or what have you. We don’t know what went on. I think it would be unfair and inappropriate to try and diagnose something from just a 90-minute clip,” Fauci said. “It just looked like a bad night.”
The so-called COVID “expert” went on to say that Biden is “very reflective on things and just doesn’t jump out with conclusions or anything,” adding that he is also “analytical.”
“So my interactions with him, I have to say, have been very, very positive,” Fauci said, adding that he has no “doubt” about the president's mental capabilities.
Earlier this week, Fauci refused to comment on Biden’s debate performance in fear it would "would have political implications."
