<p>MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend claimed during a panel discussion that President Joe Biden was &#8220;unequivocally&#8221; more mentally fit than President-elect Donald Trump — over the objections of at least two of her fellow panelists.</p>
<p>Sanders-Townsend, who worked on Biden&#8217;s 2020 presidential campaign and then worked for Vice President Kamala Harris before leaving the administration to go to MSNBC, made the comments on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; on Sunday morning.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was very surprised when you asked the question about mental acuity he didn’t more forcefully push back. The question on the table is: Is the president all the way there? And the answer is: unequivocally yes!&#8221; Sanders-Townsend began, adding, &#8220;Now, people can say that you feel as though President Biden might be a little too old to do the job. But he is doing the job, and his mental acuity is there.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So I think that there’s a conflation of two things here. It’s his mental capacity, and serving another four years as old as he is,&#8221; Sanders-Townsend continued, arguing that people were seeing Biden&#8217;s age and assuming that meant he wasn&#8217;t all there. &#8220;But those are two separate things in my opinion. And look, these people, they have known Joe Biden their entire political lives. I know Joe Biden is like, ‘Can y’all just please defend me a little more?’&#8221;</p>
<p>Politico&#8217;s Jonathan Martin weighed in then, suggesting that Biden&#8217;s behavior — particularly in recent weeks — had been very obviously self-serving and hadn&#8217;t really inspired even those who might be so inclined to continue running defense for him.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, it’s not worth defending him, though, because at every turn the last year and a half, he has taken the path of the most indulgent turn for himself out than the good of the party by running again, by pardoning his son, and now, frankly, by some of these choices for the Medal of Freedom, going to Rome for one last trip,&#8221; Martin said. &#8220;He’s not exiting in a way that I think reflects well on his party. And Democrats are deeply, deeply unhappy about it. And they should be frankly.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It hurt Democrats in November to try to tell the American people something they could see with their own eyes wasn’t true,&#8221; Marc Short, who served as chief of staff to former Vice President Mike Pence, noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;But it’s not true that the president doesn’t have the mental acuity,&#8221; Sanders-Townsend objected.</p>
<p>Short was not convinced: &#8220;Of course it is Symone! The American people saw that for themselves in the debate.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What are you saying? He can at least put a sentence together,&#8221; Sanders-Townsend claimed, turning the attack on Trump. &#8220;The president-elect is the one I’m concerned about.&#8221;</p>
