NBC’s Chuck Todd posed a fiery series of questions to Minnesota Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Sunday, based on an NBC News poll which found that 68% of people are concerned about President Joe Biden’s mental and physical health. Of course, the diehard loyalist defended the party’s deranged leader but look at what they’re now claiming.
“We asked various questions having to do with President Biden and his ability to do the job. Does he have the mental and physical health to serve? The concern among Democrats has doubled since October 2020,” Todd said.
“No, I don’t [have any concerns],” Klobuchar responded. She argued the president had “gotten results” since his assumption of office, including an added 13 million jobs and restoring the country’s democratic system. “Those aren’t small accomplishments, those are big-deal things,” she concluded.
Todd then brought up Hunter Biden, the president’s son, and his attendance at the same event as U.S. Attorney Merrick Garland the same week he accepted a plea deal. “Do you think it was appropriate for Hunter Biden to be at the same event?” he asked.
Klobuchar argued the decision was made “by an independent prosecutor who is a Trump-appointed U.S. attorney who had 10 years of experience, well-respected… He looked at the facts and evidence and made that decision.”
Todd was quick to point out the implications of the Hunter Biden situation. “You understand the perception issue of something like that though?” he asked.
“Yes, I do,” Klobuchar replied. “You always wish there were different perceptions, but that’s not reality. Reality is whether or not someone is going to be able to get their insulin and the president has made changes. Reality is whether someone has a job. Reality is when they can visit their grandma again in an assisted living [home]… not who is sitting where at a state dinner.”
Hunter Biden is charged with illegally possessing a handgun while on drugs in 2018 and failing to pay federal taxes in 2017 and 2018. The president’s son has agreed to plead guilty to the tax misdemeanors and entered a probation agreement for the gun charge. He is unlikely to serve any jail time. The situation has only gained more attention after the IRS whistleblower Shapley testified before members of Congress, claiming Hunter had threatened a Chinese business associate while the former Vice President sat next to him.
The mounting evidence of Biden’s health and family matters raises several deep concerns about the president’s abilities. While Minnesota Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar believes Biden has achieved results since his assumption of office and I think her perception of accomplishments is clearly warped.
