Former press secretary for Jill Biden, Michael LaRosa, has come forward with startling revelations: the Biden administration deliberately obscured Joe Biden’s cognitive decline while misleading the public about his worsening condition. Over the past few years, The Gateway Pundit has been diligent in highlighting instances of Joe Biden’s visible cognitive issues. However, mainstream media outlets attacked conservative platforms for distributing videos of Biden appearing visibly confused, accusing these outlets of promoting “cheap fakes.”
One striking incident occurred last June when video footage emerged showing Biden awkwardly wandering away from the G7 group, sending the Biden camp and its media allies into a tailspin. While conservative media sought to shed light on the president’s behavior, left-leaning media outlets attempted to dismiss these concerns by suggesting the videos were taken out of context.
The White House quickly issued statements, laughably labeling the footage as a “cheap fake,” a play on the term “deepfake,” referring to AI-generated content that has no basis in reality. This was a transparent attempt to delegitimize the genuine concerns being raised about Biden’s ability to lead.
Not long after, during a presidential debate against Trump, Biden’s performance further fueled questions about his cognitive health. Yet again, the mainstream media, which had long provided cover, had no choice but to report ad nauseam on his visible struggles, leading to a swell of pressure for Biden to withdraw from the 2024 race.
LaRosa, breaking his silence, confirmed on Thursday that the Biden administration was fully aware of Joe Biden’s cognitive issues but chose to mislead the public. “Every politician, everybody, every human being tries to cover up age,” LaRosa said to Tara Palmieri. He didn’t mince words when admitting how deeply entrenched the gaslighting was in their strategy, saying, “There was a lot of denial of the polling. And I will use the term ‘gaslight’ because that is what they were doing —- the campaign, former colleagues.”
Everyone freaking out about that Biden clip at G7.
I found the full video. The longer clip, in context, is even more horrifying. pic.twitter.com/obFINP7RNE

Furthermore, he revealed the mounting anxiety within Biden’s team whenever the president had to face the public without the protective shield of a script. “The President’s team was scared to death of impromptu, unscripted, unrehearsed, unpracticed, unchoreographed anything,” LaRosa admitted.
These admissions validate what Trump supporters have long understood: a leadership that cannot be transparent about the abilities of its commander-in-chief is one that risks national integrity and security. Conservative media has been vindicated in their persistent coverage of these issues, which were all too often dismissed by their left-wing counterparts.
