President Biden Trolls Trump Over Trump’s Stunning Display of Cognitive Decline
Former president bizarrely claimed Republican opponent Haley ran Capitol security on Jan 6
Setting a long-running right-wing political narrative on its head, President Biden mocked Donald Trump for the staggering cognitive decline that the former president displayed at a shambolic campaign stop in New Hampshire.
Appearing sweaty and obviously flustered, Trump made the stunning gaffe of claiming that his rival for the Republican presidential nomination — his own one-time United Nations ambassador — Nikki Haley was responsible for security during the riotous insurrection of January 6, 2021.
Biden, who the political right has long claimed baselessly suffers from cognitive decline, mocked his likely reelection rival with a tongue-in-cheek post on social media.
Here's an excerpt of Trump's bizarre statements:
Trump: You know, by the way, they never report the crowd on January 6th. You know, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley Nikki Haley, you know, they did you know, they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything deleted it, destroyed all of it. All of it because of lots of things, like Nikki Haley is in charge of security. We offered her 10,000 people.
The crowd quieted in complete and utter confusion as Trump rambled on incoherently.
Trump clearly was confusing Haley with Democratic Rep Nancy Pelosi, who was House speaker during the violent attempt to overthrow democracy on January 6.
Which was itself a falsehood since it’s long been proven that Pelosi did not direct the National Guard. Further, as the Capitol came under attack, she and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called for military assistance, including from the National Guard.
Biden posted Haley's own rebuttal of Trump’s outlandish claims from the campaign trail, with the comment: “I don’t agree with Nikki Haley on everything, but we agree on this much: She is not Nancy Pelosi.”
