There was no way to spin this fiasco.
Even the biggest liberals in the media couldn’t defend Joe Biden.
And Jon Stewart spoke this brutal truth about Joe Biden at the debate.
Jon Stewart mocks Joe Biden’s debate performance
Joe Biden was the one who demanded a debate with Donald Trump.
Biden’s campaign colluded with CNN to set a series of ground rules that they believed would rig the debate.
But once the debate started, everyone realized Biden made one of the biggest blunders of all time by insisting on the debate.
Biden’s answer right off the bat was an incoherent mess, where a raspy-voiced Biden couldn’t put two coherent sentences together.

Biden’s performance was so bad that the late-night comedians mocked Biden.
The Daily Show host Jon Stewart joked about needing to move out of the country.
“Need to call a real estate agent in New Zealand,” Stewart snarked, “we finally beat Medicare.”
There was a flurry of speculation where liberals in the media went on the record on cable news and on social media to call for Democrats to replace Joe Biden as the candidate.
Stewart fanned the flames of Biden being too senile and incompetent to continue the campaign, joking that Biden had “resting 25th Amendment face.”
25th Amendment
The 25th Amendment sets up how to replace a President who is unable to serve.
Section 4 of the 25th Amendment lays out how the Vice President and the cabinet can remove the President on their own.
“Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President,” Section 4 reads.
Biden’s cognitive decline isn’t just a political issue.
Hostile leaders like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Xi Jinping can all clearly see that the Commander-in-Chief is an invalid.
That puts American national security at risk.
But invoking the 25th Amendment – while it may be the move in the best interest of the nation – just serves to compound the Democrat Party’s political problems.
That’s because removing Biden from office under the 25th Amendment means President Kamala Harris.
And there isn’t a Democrat alive who thinks Kamala Harris can win a general election.
If Joe Biden gets to continue on as the Democrat Party nominee for President, it’s only because the rest of the party came to the conclusion that even if Biden gets out of the race, there is no way to take the nomination from the first black female Vice President.
