Insiders reveal the shocking comments Democrats made about Joe Biden behind the scenes after ‘sad’ 22-minute interview



Insiders have revealed the shocking comments Democrats made behind the scenes of his “sad” 22-minute interview.

The president spoke with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Friday as part of a damage control strategy following his disastrous debate against Donald Trump last month.

But his lackluster performance once again failed to convince even those in his own party that he had the mental strength for another four years.

Words like “heartbroken,” “doomed” and “fucking disaster” were all used by more than a half-dozen congressional Democrats, NBC reports.

Minnesota Rep. Angie Craig, who is fighting for her seat in the key state, was so unconvinced that she became the latest elected Democrat to call for Biden to step down.

“There’s only a small window left to make sure we have the candidate best equipped to make his case and win,” Craig told the Washington Post.

“Given what I saw and heard from the president during last week’s debate in Atlanta, as well as the lack of a forceful response from the president himself after that debate, I do not believe the president can effectively campaign and win against Donald Trump.”

Craig is the fifth sitting Democrat to call for Biden’s removal, with 13 other members of Congress and governors expressing concern, according to a tally by the outlet.

A Democratic lawmaker who previously supported Biden told NBC they would “soon” break their silence on Biden’s fate.

“It made me sad,” they said of Biden’s interview. “Completely disconnected from reality and isolated from the truth.”

The heated exchange saw Biden answer questions in a hoarse, weary voice, often losing the thread mid-sentence and sometimes ignoring questions in an attempt to make sometimes outlandish claims about his record.

The performance was so disappointing that House Minority Leader and New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries reportedly scheduled a call with top White House advisers on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Virginia Sen. Mark R. Warner is reportedly assembling a group to try to oust the ailing president.

A senior adviser told the president he should “strap himself in for a hectic week ahead,” ABC reports.

“The people on the front lines are all pissed off, and they are personally ready to pull the trigger on Biden to step down, but politically they are scared,” an unnamed aide added.

However, Biden has maintained his commitment to run and brushed off concerns about his mental state.

“Look, I take a cognitive test every day,” Biden said, referring to the tasks he faces daily in a rigorous job.

“Every day I take that test. In everything I do. You know, not only am I campaigning, I’m running the world.”

But his refusal to commit to formal testing has also angered Democratic politicians, with one describing him as a “problem.”

“There is a hardening of opinion in many quarters that action is needed and that action must come through another candidate,” the lawmaker said.
