Joe Biden’s inner circle can’t stress this enough: Before last Friday, the former president had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Pinky swear.
A Biden spokesman “clarified” the “timeline” in a statement to multiple news outlets after widespread speculation that Biden’s Sunday cancer announcement wasn’t so much a new diagnosis as a new disclosure.
Even Democrat doctors came out of the woodwork this week to note that prostate cancer and metastasis to the bone don’t just happen overnight, meaning this cancer isn’t “new.” Either Biden and his team of elite health care practitioners are incompetent, or they covered up his diagnosis. So now his PR people are doing a full-court press to convince the suspicious public that Biden’s handlers aren’t lying liars who lie — they’re just really bad at their jobs.
This isn’t the only Democrat pinky swear of the week. Americans also got assurances from former FBI Director James Comey, who recently posted a threatening message to Donald Trump on Instagram in the form of a photograph of seashells spelling out “86 47.” We all know what that means. And considering a would-be assassin already shot Trump in the head and another tried to snipe him on the golf course, Comey’s message could credibly incite violence.
But no, seriously, guys, he had no idea what “86” connoted (even though he investigated the mafia for years). He also definitely just found those shells on the beach and had nothing to do with arranging them. And it’s crazy to think that this is all a cynical ploy to sell more copies of his weird new novel that’s out this week.
Biden doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt for the same reason Comey doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt for the same reason the Democrat Party and their media enablers don’t get the benefit of the doubt. They lie about everything.
This wouldn’t even be their first lie about Biden’s health. CNN propagandist Jake Tapper’s new book this week is yet another reminder that the corporate media and Democrats couldn’t even be trusted to tell the truth about Biden’s decline that we could see with our own eyes — no PSA test or urologist needed. When Americans observed Biden wandering aimlessly away from photo ops, falling down stairs, appearing to doze off in interviews, trailing off mid-sentence, slurring his words, and looking for a deceased congresswoman, Democrats, including fake journalists like Tapper, engaged in a cover-up to prop up Biden and hurt Trump. They said Biden was “sharp” and “focused,” “the best Joe Biden ever,” and that he just had a “bad debate.” When Lara Trump noted the cognitive decline, Tapper accused her of “mocking his stutter.” It was all a lie.
Before denying his “86” stunt, James Comey was a key architect of the lie that Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election, also known as the Russia collusion hoax. Days before Trump’s first inauguration, then-FBI Director Comey briefed Trump on the bogus Steele dossier, a leak of which gave the corrupt media just the hook they needed to peddle the nonsense oppo research. Comey later used this dossier as a pretext to spy on the Trump campaign through Carter Page. Comey also attempted to ensnare Mike Flynn, Trump’s national security adviser, in a perjury trap through an ambush interview to sabotage the Republican administration. As my colleague Matt Kittle so eloquently put it, “Comey tried to ‘86′ Trump’s first term.” It was all a hoax.
But the lies aren’t limited to Biden’s health or Comey’s longtime Trump vendetta. Think of any major news story from the past decade, and Democrats have lied about it.
They lied that the Covid lab leak was a conspiracy theory and that anyone who noted its Chinese origins was a racist. They said masks were effective, mRNA shots were safe, and shuttering schools and small businesses was the only way to keep people alive. They said church choirs were superspreaders, but massive racial grievance protests were fine.
In the lead-up to the 2020 election, they enlisted a group of former intelligence officials to say Hunter Biden’s laptop, which had already been authenticated by the FBI, was Russian disinformation. And they did this so Biden could peddle this lie from the debate stage to help propel him over the finish line.
That was the same year they smeared reasonable election-integrity efforts as “voter suppression” and “Jim Crow 2.0.” They said mass mail-in ballots were totally legitimate and that last-minute election law changes and vote irregularities were nothing to see. They claimed the 2020 election, which was ripe with fraud and abuse, was the freest and fairest election this country has ever had.
When Black Lives Matter rioters vandalized a federal courthouse, murdered or attempted to murder police officers, killed civilians, and burned small businesses across the country to the tune of billions of dollars worth of damage, Democrats and the corrupt media characterized the violence as “mostly peaceful.”
When Donald Trump said there were fine people on both sides of a protest over whether to remove Confederate statues in Charlottesville in 2017, Democrats claimed Trump called neo-Nazis and white supremacists “very fine people” — even though Trump explicitly said, “and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally.”
During his confirmation battle, Democrats claimed, without any credible evidence, that now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh was a serial gang rapist — just as they claimed, without credible evidence, that Justice Clarence Thomas was guilty of sexual harassment.
When Bidenflation tanked the economy, leading to consecutive quarters of negative growth, Democrats claimed we weren’t in a recession … before pondering, What is a recession, anyway?… before swearing, “[A] recession could be good for you financially.”
Democrats have lied about Israel and Gaza and Russia and Ukraine. They’ve lied about men in women’s prisons, sports, and locker rooms. They’ve lied about the abortion pill, pro-life laws, and crisis pregnancy centers. They lied about their ability to close the border. From Christianity to crime statistics to transgender experiments on kids, the subjects of their lies are endless.
So no, we don’t know all the details of Biden’s cancer timeline or Comey’s latest walk on the beach. But we do know about Democrats’ relationship with the truth.
And that tells us everything.
