A former official in former President Joe Biden’s administration admitted that they “gaslit” the American people about the condition of the elderly leader, practically throughout the duration of his term.
Michael LaRosa, who served as the press secretary to former first lady Jill Biden, spoke to Puck reporter Tara
Palmeri at the Sine Institute of Policy and Politics at American University, where he admitted to the efforts they took to protect the former president from the media spotlight, Fox News reported.
He said that they had been aware of Biden’s cognitive issues from “Day One” and also admitted that they downplayed his crash in the polls.
“There are some things that are true. I mean, like the gaslighting, there was a lot of denial of the polling. And I will use the term gaslight because that’s what they were doing the campaign, former colleagues,” he said.
