President-elect Donald Trump highlighted Democratic hypocrisy by sharing a devastating compilation video showing prominent party members defending President Biden’s cognitive abilities, following a veteran journalist’s criticism of media complicity in concealing Biden’s mental decline.

The nearly three-minute montage, accompanied by playful Wii theme music, opens with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissing concerns about Biden’s mental fitness with exaggerated enthusiasm, claiming she struggles to match his energy level.

The video features a parade of high-ranking Democrats, including DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Senator Bernie Sanders, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, all vouching for Biden’s mental capabilities. These endorsements are juxtaposed against polling data indicating that 68% of Americans believe Biden is too elderly for another presidential term.

Dr. Jill Biden makes multiple appearances in the compilation, emphasizing her husband’s intellectual prowess during an appearance on “The View” and later portraying his advanced age as beneficial, citing his supposed wisdom and extensive experience.

The video also showcases other Democratic figureheads, such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Representatives Jamie Raskin and Jim Clyburn, offering similar endorsements of Biden’s mental fitness.

The biggest scandal in history: Biden’s staff runs the country while he’s in mental decline. This is anti-democratic, unconstitutional, and corrupt. Now some want to block Trump. Not on Pam Bondi’s watch. Watch my discussion with @MikeEmanuelFox on @foxnewsnight! # pic.twitter.com/8RQZdhJBC7

Trump released the compilation without additional commentary, but its timing coincided with CBS News reporter Jan Crawford’s recent criticism of the media’s role in downplaying Biden’s cognitive decline. Crawford’s remarks referenced a Wall Street Journal investigation that revealed how White House staff had deliberately limited the 82-year-old president’s in-person interactions to conceal his deteriorating mental state.

According to the Journal’s report, Biden’s aides formed an exclusive inner circle to restrict his personal encounters. Crawford argued that the media should have more aggressively questioned Biden’s fitness for another four-year term, suggesting that such scrutiny might have prompted a Democratic primary challenge.
