Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, has asserted that the previous US president was “mentally incompetent” and contributed to the decline of the country.
Leavitt remarked that public trust in traditional media has sharply declined due to its “cover-up” of former President Joe Biden’s deteriorating mental and physical condition.
Throughout Biden's presidency, Donald Trump and his supporters consistently claimed he was unfit for office, accusations rejected by both the Biden administration and many in the media. Significant internal pressure on Biden to refrain from seeking reelection escalated after a poor debate performance against Trump last June, where he seemed confused and had difficulty completing his sentences. A month later, Biden withdrew from the presidential race, leading to Vice President Kamala Harris stepping in, but she ultimately lost to Trump in the November election.
“Millions of Americans watched our mentally incompetent president [Biden] struggle with his day-to-day duties of this office. We watched our country be run into the ground as a result. And nobody in the media wanted to write about that,” Leavitt stated during a White House briefing on Monday.
Reflecting on her experiences during Trump’s campaign, she recalled being “accused by people in this room [journalists] of manufacturing deepfake videos trying to persuade the public into not believing what they saw with their own eyes for many years.”
“I think it is about time the legacy media finally admits that was one of the greatest cover-ups and scandals that ever took place in American history,” she insisted.
Leavitt emphasized that the media's hesitance to report on Biden’s true mental and physical state “certainly did contribute to the decline in the trust that Americans have for the legacy media.”
A Gallup poll from earlier this year indicated that confidence in fair news reporting by US media has reached its lowest level in fifty years. Only 31% of respondents reported trusting mainstream media “a great deal” or “a fair amount,” while 36% stated they do not trust it “at all.”
