It’s kind of a gimmie when someone of the other political party takes a swipe at any given politician.
But when the same swipes come from the very same propaganda mills that have been carrying the water for Biden since Day One, it’s time to sit-up and take notice.
Not really much of a surprise to see ex-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) take shots at Biden on Fox Business, but to read that a not-so-fluffy piece was recently published by leftie-friendly Axios.com.
Here’s some of the report by Jeffrey Clark of Fox Business;
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy revealed for the first time on Wednesday that President Biden uses notecards in private meetings with small groups of people.
“He still has a teleprompter when you meet behind closed doors,” McCarthy told the “Bottom Line” co-hosts on FOX Business. “But the teleprompter are cards. I found when I met with him, it would just be a couple of them. He would read from the card.”
McCarthy said that it was difficult to “deviate” from Biden during private negotiations, referencing when he spoke with the president on the debt ceiling.
“He just sticks to the cards,” he said of Biden. “And if you go, if you deviate from the cards, he can’t continue onward there.
“Look, he has served the country, regardless whether you like it or not. I respect the man for serving the country. I thank him for that service, but he is not of the age that is best to be able to be serving in the presidency, especially the position that he is to going forward with what I have watched to serve again.”
McCarthy also said that he has known Biden for a long time and that the president was no longer “the same man” as he was in previous years.
Pretty obvious that he’s trying his damnedest to , as reported by Hans Nichols of the decidedly left-leaning Axios.com;
- The staged Q&A sessions have left some donors wondering whether Biden can withstand the rigors of a presidential campaign, let alone potential debates with former President Trump, 77.
- As a senator for 36 years, then vice president for eight years, Biden expects to be prepped by staff for nearly every meeting on his schedule. In those briefings, Biden is demanding, difficult to please — and frequently profane.
- The president begins his remarks with reporters — but not TV cameras — in the room. There’s frequently a teleprompter to help him stay on track. Wednesday night, there wasn’t.
- After his opening comments at fundraisers, reporters are ushered out of the venue — often a supporter’s elegant home — before donors are allowed to ask two or three questions vetted by the president’s staff
