“As a reporter, I have a confession to make: I should have done more to get information sooner about Joe Biden’s physical and mental health and signs of decline. So, let me explain. Joe Biden served as president from 2020 to 2024. I worked at CNN until 2022,” Silitza said. “Back then, in the early days when I was at CNN, from 2020 to 2022, people would regularly email me from Republicans and say, ‘Why don’t you ask me more questions about Joe Biden and what he’s up to? ” he said. [a] The men are 76, 77, and 78 years old. ‘And I sort of ignore them, because I say, ‘Well, there’s no clear evidence that he’s declining.’ Well, he’s moved a little slower and he’s spoken a little slower, but there’s no evidence that he’s declining. ”
“And the White House and those around Joe Biden are adamant that it is offensive to suggest anything, including asking questions about whether he is experiencing physical, mental, or both decline.” “How did you do that?” It’s embarrassing for my age. ‘And I think that influenced me on some level. Because I did ask questions from time to time, not directly to the White House, but to aides and their associates, but I didn’t push it too hard if I was. I’m honest,” he continued. “Since I left CNN, I think I’ve written pretty regularly and talked pretty often about how, as we started to learn little by little about Biden’s age, I wasn’t sure if this guy was serious. Masu.”
The former CNN analyst noted a recent article published by CNN. new york times and wall street journal Biden’s comments about “resigning” prompted him to apologize.
White House aides have described Biden as tired, frail and moody to the New York Times, after he has long maintained that he is capable of serving a second term. Dozens of people close to Biden’s operations over the years told the Journal how aides have insulated the president and managed his job amid growing concerns about his abilities.
Siritza used to be published An August 2021 CNN analysis criticized Republicans for promoting the theory that Biden is in decline.
“This is the kind of gross lowest common denominator politics that keeps people out of public life,” he wrote. “If Republicans have any evidence that Mr. Biden will resign, they should bring it to the forefront. If they don’t, they should stop what they’re doing. Immediately.”
