Graham Rips ‘Compliant Media’ For Hiding Biden’s Cognitive Decline From Public

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) ripped the media during an interview over the weekend for hiding President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline from the public.

Graham made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” with co-host Dana Bash when asked about Biden’s disastrous debate performance.

“This idea that Biden had a bad night, that’s not the story. He’s had a bad presidency, had a disastrous debate,” Graham said. “How could we get here? How could the American people see what they saw and not be forewarned? You have got a compliant media who’s written off the problems with President Biden. They have tried to soft-sell this as attack by the right wing that he’s compromised. There is no cheap-fakes here.”

“The man is compromised, and the media has been covering,” he continued. “He’s not a good president. He’s a decent man. He’s a failed president. He is compromised. That’s the storyline here.”

Graham said that what he is worried about is what will happen between “now and November” given the apparent state of Biden’s mental fitness.

“Does Iran get a nuclear weapon because they think Joe Biden’s so compromised, he’s not going to do anything about it?” he asked. “You got a compliant media and a lockstep Democratic Party who cheers bad policy. Have you heard one person named to replace Biden that would do anything different on the border? No. Have you heard anybody criticize his withdrawal from Afghanistan they’re considering replacing him with? So this is a very dangerous time for America and the world at large. This election turned from this debate. Clearly, President Biden is compromised. But, most importantly, his policies are not working.”

President Trump had an excellent debate night. He was clear, concise and focused.
