Fauci: Biden May Have Taken an Antihistamine That Made Him Groggy!
Former top U.S. health official floats new theory about president's debate disaster
Nothing to see here, says former top COVID doctor.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, told CBS News that he did not see anything too alarming during President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate last week that has fellow Democrats urging him to step aside.
He told the network that he watched the debate and he was asked if there was anything he saw that alarmed him.
“You know I can't say. I think it would be appropriate to say that because when you're just looking at someone on a one-shot basis, you just don’t know what could happen.”
He continued, “Did he have a bad cold? Did he take an antihistamine to make him groggy or what have you? We don’t know what went on.”
White House aides quickly told the media after the debate that Biden was suffering from a cold.
The Associated Press seemed to be unconvinced at the claim: Biden’s voice was raspy. His eyes looked glassy at times. But despite the cold, he went from the debate to a watch party and then a Waffle House. Then he gave an energized speech Friday in North Carolina.
The White House also floated the idea that he could have been suffering from jet lag after traveling to France and Italy last month. (The AP reported that he arrived at Camp David to prepare for the debate about a week before taking the stage.)
Peggy Noonan, The Wall Street Journal columnist, wrote, “There’s no repairing this. His staff can’t spin or muscle their way out. He is neurologically compromised, we can all see it, it isn’t his fault. You have no governance in how you age and at what speed, or what illnesses or conditions arise. You only have governance in what you do about it.”
Fauci told CBS News that from his experience dealing with Biden, he does not doubt the president is capable of carrying out the duties as president.
The fact that anyone would listen to Fauci about anything is, frankly, pathetic.
I saw two disasters, named Dana Bash and Jake Tapper. No moderating, just sitting pretty and trying to look clever.
They allowed ex-Prez Trump not to answer their questions, so he just went on his usual rants. Prez Biden was overwhelmed: what was he supposed to do - answer the question, or react to the lies, half-truths, innuendos, brought on by the person next to him ?
This was a black day for journalism. (No wonder foreign journalists were/are not allowed to get a permit to work in the USofA ! I am sure they would, when given the chance, have done a lot better than the CNN-duo.
