A Southwest Florida Republican Congressman is slamming one former President for defending another one.
During an appearance on “Fox Business,” U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds laid into Bill Clinton for saying Joe Biden was “on top of his briefs.”
“Bill Clinton’s lying. Let’s just be honest. He’s lying, frankly, again. Joe Biden was not capable of doing the job. We all know this,” Donalds told host Stuart Varney.
“It’s not just his mental capabilities; in my view, it’s also his physical capabilities. He wasn’t able to hold long extended meetings with members of Congress, and it’s Democrat members of Congress, Republican members of Congress, Republican leadership. He wasn’t able to do it. They would send him out there every now and again to do a speech or to speak to the press, and if the press started asking too many questions, his staff would come in and break it up.”
Clinton defended Biden’s acuity on “CBS Sunday Morning.”
“The only concern I thought he had to deal with was, could anybody do that job until they were 86? We’d had several long talks. I had never seen him and walked away thinking, ‘He can’t do this anymore.’”
Donalds wasn’t having any of that argument.
“I’ve heard the stories that when he was meeting with the Four Corners — that’s the Speaker, the Senate Majority Leader, and the Minority Leader in both chambers — if he got off script, got off his note card that the staff gave him, they would get him back on script or get him out of the room and end the meeting,” Donalds said.
“They lied to the American people. They covered up the fact that Joe Biden was not capable of doing the job, and that’s why the Oversight Committee is going to investigate.”
The Congressman previously said Biden was a victim of “elder abuse” and that the use of the autopen to sign bills and executive orders was a worse scandal than Watergate, the 1972 campaign imbroglio that led Richard Nixon to resign in 1974.

Everyone was aware of the coverup except the koolaid drinking news media, WH staff, Demo Party leadership, and the zombie force. Watching Joe get out of the car at Normandy last year with that “where the phuck am I look” said it all.

Don’cha think Byron, who is running for governor amidst his congressional duties, should focus his attention on helping his constituents, solving some problems, improving and helping the vulnerable in our society?
Dig deep into those Christian roots..

Both Obama & Biden have done more good for the American people and the economy and the national budget than most any REPUBLICAN President. The American people are sick & tired of been fed LIES and Propaganda by Republicans as we have found out with the present President. It’s been heartbreaking to see some people rush to use Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis as a political weapon. He’s spent his life fighting for this country. You don’t have to agree with every decision he’s made to acknowledge the truth: Joe Biden is a decent man. A good man. And he deserves respect during one of the hardest moments anyone can face—for his sake and for his family’s.
The erosion of basic decency in our politics is painful to witness. Yes, I want a stronger Democratic Party—one that will stand up to Trump’s GOP and protect people from the cruelty baked into their agenda. But that fight can’t come at the cost of our moral compass. If we lose our humanity, what exactly are we fighting for?
Biden deserves the chance to rest, to recover, and to spend time with his beautiful family. And honestly, if your first instinct in someone else’s moment of crisis is to chase clout or score cheap points, you need to take a hard look in the mirror. That applies to the far-right commentators exploiting his illness—and also to some of Biden’s loudest online defenders, who seemed disturbingly quick to dunk on anyone they saw as a political threat. What are we doing?
Yes, there’s a real and necessary debate about the last four years—what could’ve gone differently, and what comes next. That conversation matters. But let’s not lose the forest for the trees. Right now, Joe Biden needs space. His family needs our compassion. And as Democrats, we need to remember who we are, what we care about, and what kind of country we’re trying to build.
I’m keeping Joe Biden in my heart today. Wishing him strength, grace, and time. I hope you are too.

Well said, Victoria. And I’ve often thought, Biden did one hell of a job bringing us out of Covid and passing significantly important legislation during his tenure.. whatever his mental capacity was from day to day.
Looking at our current administration’s follies, well.. who’s to say, everywhere is freaks and harries, tech guy fairies, tell me where is sanity?
