‘Sundowning’ Frontrunner: Activists Question Biden’s ‘Cognitive Decline’ -By Colin Kalmbacher (Law and Crime) / March 7 2020
“We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created by the–go–you know–the thing,” said a fired up but arguably not quite ready to go Joe Biden to a crowd of supporters last week.
The lines Biden forgot are generally considered to be commonplace: they’re the preamble to the U.S. Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness.
While internet denizens, Democratic Party activists, and highly-engaged voters have buzzed with concern, incredulity, and dismay for months about what they see as an obvious and undeniable liability with Biden, mainstream media is finally starting to take some notice of Biden’s mental acuity.
An article in Politico on Saturday morning ran with this unsubtle headline: “2020 becomes the dementia campaign.” The story by John F. Harris—which incorporates a both-sides frame to catalogue both Biden and President Donald Trump‘s so-called “public blunders”—even uses two largely verboten ‘s’-words to describe the former vice-president’s alleged mental state: senile and senility.
This is new ground for non-Fox News media.
And it certainly has taken awhile. Biden has also notably forgotten the name of the president he served under; forgotten he was running for president; called a male voter “fat” in Iowa; called a female voter “dog-faced” in New Hampshire; violently snapped at a reporter while shouting the word “why” over and over; confused his wife for his sister at a campaign rally; and created from whole-cloth a fake story about being arrested for protesting Apartheid in South Africa.
