White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just dropped a bombshell accusation against former First Lady Jill Biden, claiming she helped hide former President Joe Biden’s mental decline from the American public.
Breitbart reported that the charge, made during a press briefing on Thursday, centers on allegations that Jill Biden was part of an inner circle obscuring the true state of the former president’s health while damning evidence mounted.
Let’s rewind to early May, when Jill Biden joined her husband on “The View” to push back against growing concerns about his condition.
She brushed off critical reports, insisting, “They didn’t see how hard Joe worked every single day.” Well, dismissing critics is one thing, but ignoring what many see as plain evidence is quite another.
On May 20, the book “Original Sin” by journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson hit shelves, alleging that White House staffers and Democratic insiders actively misled the public about Biden’s health struggles. The book’s claims weren’t just whispers—they fueled headlines that refused to fade.
Leavitt didn’t mince words when addressing this timeline, stating, “I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up.” Her point? If the evidence—videos and photos showing Biden’s apparent struggles—is as clear as day, why the silence from someone so close to him?
She doubled down, pointing to Jill Biden’s behavior on “The View,” saying, “They were just on The View last week, she was saying everything is fine.” If everything was fine, why the need to shield him from cameras, as Leavitt and others have noted?
The accusations don’t stop at Jill Biden—Axios reporter Alex Thompson, speaking on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” named a tight-knit group controlling Biden’s daily life.
He listed key figures like Anthony Bernal, Mike Donilon, and Steve Ricchetti, claiming, “Those are the people that had the most control over what he was doing.” Sounds like a shadow cabinet, doesn’t it?
Adding fuel to the fire, a hidden-camera video from Project Veritas captured DNC Vice Chair David Hogg accusing Bernal, Jill Biden’s chief of staff, of holding unchecked influence as Biden’s health reportedly worsened.
Leavitt aimed for this pattern of denial, declaring, “She’s still lying to the American people.” Her frustration is palpable, and frankly, it’s hard not to wonder if the public deserves straight answers instead of polished soundbites.
Last week, House Oversight Chairman James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, turned up the heat by sending letters to five former White House employees, including Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor.
As reported by the New York Post, Comer is demanding interviews for an official investigation into these health-related claims. It’s a move that signals this story isn’t going away quietly.
The idea of a cover-up isn’t just speculation anymore—it’s a narrative backed by books, videos, and now congressional action. While some might call it a partisan witch hunt, others see it as a long-overdue reckoning for accountability.
Leavitt’s sharpest critique might be her assertion that Jill Biden “still thinks the American public is so stupid that they’re going to believe her lies.” It’s a bold jab, but one that reflects a broader conservative frustration with elites underestimating everyday folks’ ability to see through the fog.
For many on the right, this saga isn’t just about one man’s health—it’s about trust in our institutions. If a president’s inner circle can obscure something this significant, what else might be hidden from view?
The pressure is on Jill Biden and others named in these reports to provide clarity, not deflections. While empathy for personal family struggles is warranted, public office demands a higher standard of honesty—turns out, actions do have consequences.
