The reality made an surprising look on “The Late Present” Monday night time.
Host Stephen Colbert invited former White Home spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre on to advertise her new ebook, “Impartial: A Look Inside a Damaged White Home, Outdoors the Occasion Strains.”
Jean-Pierre helped cover President Joe Biden’s apparent psychological decline together with fellow White Home staffers and the Legacy Media. So did late-night hosts like Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and John Oliver.
Nothing to see right here, save essentially the most highly effective man on this planet stumbling to make sense. Transfer alongside.
Some late-night hosts have been extra culpable than others, although.
Kimmel hosted a Biden fundraiser weeks earlier than the chief’s disastrous July 27 presidential debate with Donald Trump. The “Jimmy Kimmel Stay!” host coated up for Biden after the president froze through the occasion’s closing moments.
Former President Barack Obama needed to gingerly stroll Biden off the stage.
All of us noticed it. But Kimmel pretended it didn’t occur, scolding those that witnessed the unhappy spectacle for believing their very own eyes.
Colbert, who hosted a separate Biden fundraiser final 12 months, pressed Jean-Pierre surprisingly laborious on Biden’s psychological state throughout an typically tense alternate. He sometimes lobs softball queries at left-leaning company.
Not Monday.
Jean-Pierre’s media speaking factors are easy and ludicrous. She ditched the Democrats for the way in which they handled Biden through the closing months of the election cycle.
It’s absurd, in fact. Democrats hid Biden’s decline, sticking with a sick man till his psychological fog acquired uncovered for all to see through the debate.
Colbert wasn’t shopping for that argument. And, within the course of, he tried to deflect blame for protecting up Biden’s decline.
“It was very private for these of us who watched it too, as a result of it was a shock to our system to see that [debate]. As a result of — I imply, you’re speaking to a man who helped increase $25 million for Joe Biden in March of that very same 12 months,” Colbert, a staunch Biden supporter, advised Jean-Pierre. “And three months later, I noticed a man who I had not seen backstage on the profit that I did. It appeared like a dramatically totally different particular person. And at 81 years outdated, that’s not solely surprising. You possibly can think about why individuals acquired so nervous.”
Sure, Colbert thinks Biden was completely high-quality in March however had dramatically declined in simply three months. That ignores the truth that clear-thinking Individuals noticed mentioned decline beginning in 2020. And, in line with Jake Tapper’s ebook “Authentic Sin,” the indicators of Biden’s decline have been all over the place for much too lengthy.
Jean-Pierre isn’t getting the nice and cozy reception she anticipated from corrupt retailers like “The Late Present.” For Colbert, her look turned injury management for him, not her.
