In early July 2024, after President Biden’s disastrous debate performance, a flock of Democratic governors met with Biden in the White House. The governors expressed their relief that that they are not up for reelection that year. (Just kidding.) They had an exchange of views. When they emerged from the White House, Minnesota’s own Governor Tim Walz took center stage to express his support for Biden:
We are all looking for the path to win. All the governors agree with that. President Biden agrees with that. He has had our backs through COVID, through all of the recovery, all the things that have happened. The governors have his back and we’re working together just to make very, very clear on that. A path to victory in November is the number one priority, and that’s the number one priority of the president.
When directly asked the obvious question about Biden’s fitness for office, Walz also sought to assure those who hearken to his voice that all is well:
Yes, he’s fit for office….None of us are denying Thursday night was a bad performance. It was a bad get [?], if you will on that. But it doesn’t impact what I believe — he’s delivering.
In other words, Walz professed not to see what everybody else in the United States sees. He acknowledged only that Biden got “a little cycled up[.]”
Walz knew he was lying. We know he was lying. Walz knew we knew he was lying. Walz presents as a case study in life imitating art, in this case the advertising art that created Joe Isuzu. Walz follows effortlessly in his footsteps.
Walz appears in the video below at 2:32 along with Governors Wes Moore and Kathy Hochul, who also spoke publicly outside the White House following their meeting with Biden. I posted this video at the time for the record.
I don’t recall Walz ever having been pressed on his this episode of his compulsive lying, certainly not by his home state press.
The Democrats generally disgraced themselves standing up for Dementia Joe. The Washington Free’s Andrew Stiles updates the record with “Democrats Who Praised Joe Biden’s Mental ‘Sharpness’ Don’t Want to ‘Rehash the Past.’” Stiles’s story is accompanied by the video below. Let’s rehash the past.
