Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) made it clear on Friday that he was still willing to run cover for an obviously diminished former President Joe Biden — even after a slew of Biden’s former aides and media personalities have admitted just how compromised he was during his term in the White House.
Just off his record-setting filibuster stunt from earlier in the week, Booker made an appearance on Stephen A. Smith’s podcast, and he visibly balked when Smith asked what he would say to voters who were reluctant to trust the Democrats who covered up Biden’s obvious decline in the lead up to the 2024 presidential election.

“You brought up Joe Biden, and you talked about what legislation he obviously signed off on,” Smith began. “I ask this question: what about people that look at the Democratic Party right now and say, ‘You know this man was debilitating,’ and you have the Republicans leaning on the fact that you hid that from the American people? And they think that that plays a role in things that are being held against you right now as a party. To that, you say what?”
“I don’t even know why that’s an issue,” Booker shook his head. He went on to say that he had spoken to Biden on the phone earlier that same day and “he sounded very compos mentis, he got very argumentative — not argumentative with me, but very fired up when he was talking with me. I don’t know, man.”
Booker continued in that same vein, insisting over Smith’s objections, “I never saw it. And he would call — this man would literally call me up to discuss policy. I’ve met no — I’ve met no president like him!”
In recent weeks, several books have been announced that will detail Biden’s decline as seen by insiders — in some cases, authored by people who helped to cover up that decline while Biden was still in office and even seeking a second term.
