As early as 2020, most people could see that Joe Biden was a shadow of his former self if they were honest about it. Unfortunately, it happens to all of us sooner or later, and we make the best of it. But the rest of us were not running to be the leader of the free world as Biden was. Now, the inevitable tell-all books are coming out about the Biden presidency that paint a more frightening picture than we ever imagined about Biden’s mental state. But if Democrats want to yell and scream about a “constitutional crisis,” former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich says we may just have one, and we need to find out exactly what was happening.
The people who helped cover up Biden’s mental incapacitation should be thoroughly investigated!https://t.co/vxXGJ3HeE1

Gingrich appeared Thursday night with Fox News Channel’s Jesse Watters and called for either a joint House-Senate committee or a special commission to investigate the extent to which Biden was mentally debilitated during his time in office and if White House staff actively covered it up. Gingrich stated that any investigation should determine the truth about whether Biden was fit to serve and any constitutional implications of someone who is not president making decisions on his behalf.

The kind of details Gingrich is talking about are in a new book by Chris Whipple. Whipple writes that former Chief of Staff Ron Klain, who helped Biden with prep for his debate with Donald Trump, said that he “half-seriously” wondered if Biden believed he was President of NATO and was not comprehending the back and forth of debate. Biden would also fall asleep by the pool during debate prep. The debate prep team would also have to cut sessions short due to Biden’s fatigue, and Klain was fearful that the debate would end up being the train wreck that it was. Gingrich stated that any committees or commissions need to ask four pertinent questions.
“I think both the House and the Senate should empanel special committees to just focus on this issue. Who was the president? Who lied about the president? Who made the decisions as though they were president? And what is the constitutional implication of having people who are not the president making these kinds of decisions? I think this is a very serious, profound historic moment, not a political moment. It ought to be a truly bipartisan committee, truly bipartisan effort. Because all of us ought to have an interest as Americans in knowing what happened and how could we have been lied to for at least a minimum of two or two and a half years.”
One year ago right now, the media was openly mocking you for doubting Joe Biden’s mental state, even though many of them knew the truth.
But sure, they’ve seen the error of their ways and are totally being truthful now.

Gingrich is spot on. All Americans, regardless of political stripe, need to know if the country was essentially without a functioning president for four years and what exactly are the implications of such a serious constitutional breach. We were told for years that Joe Biden was fit as a fiddle and that he was running circles around his much younger staffers. Then we were told that any videos we were seeing with our own eyes of Biden freezing up, slurring his speech, and not knowing how to exit a stage were just “cheap fakes.”
Then, there was the complicit media. RedState’s Rusty Weiss recently covered the epic call-out of MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough by Fox News Channel’s Greg Gutfeld, who literally spent years covering up what he and others knew to be Biden’s cognitive decline. Now that it’s safe to talk, Scarborough is singing a different tune.
Gingrich also brought up the fact that some key Democrats were well aware of Biden’s condition and that he was not thoroughly carrying out his duties as president. It is all a clear argument for a committee or commission to be formed and subpoenas to be issued. Gingrich said of Biden’s inner circle, “It’s pretty clear now that a lot of them knew that he was gone.” Democrats think they got away with one of the most massive cover-ups in American history. Gingrich summed up what absolutely needs to happen, saying, “It’s an astonishing moment, and I think it requires a very in-depth look, day by day, at the decisions that were made.”
